It is not a secret that masking is essential part of every skincare regimen.
Although masks have been utilized over centuries, the first commercialized facial mask was called "Toilet Mask" and was invented by Madame Helen M. Rowley in 1857. She patented her invention which she called "Mask for Medical Purposes".

Now that's history! The fact that it's strapped on the head, it seems that this toilet mask is not too comfortable to wear. However, I would like to commend Madame Rowley for such an amazing beauty idea which paved way for other masks to be discovered.
Now let's go back to present as I have here the types of mask you may need in your life. I also included product recommendations that are tried and tested by yours truly.
1. Sheet Mask
Sheet masks are individually packed sheet fabrics soaked in essences targeting a specific skin concern. The sheets which take the shape of the face are usually made up of cellulose, fiber or cotton and are put on the face for a certain amount of time.
