It sounds like something out of a science fiction movie. In reality, however, a talking sheet is the latest revolution in skin care technology. Talking sheets (also known as sheet masks) are a beauty technology that originated in Korea and is quickly becoming a worldwide phenomenon.

At first glance you might think you are seeing an alien abduction right before your eyes. The sheet mask facial treatment consists of a cellulose fabric that contains skin care ingredients to help soothe, cleanse and tighten skin.

This fuss-free approach to skin care is easy to use and leaves skin feeling smooth and refreshed. Simply remove the cellulose fabric from the protective packaging, align the eye, nose and mouth holes to your face and apply the mask to your face by smoothing from the center to the edges. Relax and enjoy for 20 minutes, allowing the ingredients to be absorbed into the skin. After removing the mask, gently massage any remaining residue into the skin,

Unlike traditional masks, sheet mask such as our Ultimate Hydrating and Ultimate Brightening Mask are mess free, easy to remove and do not require water for application or clean up. They come in an individually wrapped package and are sold in sets of four. The single mask packaging also makes it easy to take along when traveling. Toss one in your makeup case and use it when you get to your hotel to combat the effects of dry air during a long flight.

One of the biggest benefits of a sheet mask is the way nutrients are delivered to the skin cells. Because they are applied through a saturated skin covering, the ingredients are more concentrated than traditional creams and facial serums as more easily absorbed.

In the end, sheet or talking masks are a great way to give your skin (and yourself) a little pampering after a busy day and leave you feeling invigorated and refreshed.
