I Did a 7-Day Sheet Mask Challenge (Because What Else Am I Supposed to Do?)

From brightening vitamin A masks, to three-step hydrating sets
This hydrogel eye mask is formulated with ultra-hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and snow mushroom extract to soothe and brighten your eye area.

Pros: I have a bias towards hydrogel masks — they're just so soothing and fun! And who doesn't love a jelly texture? This mask is cooling and relaxing as the name would imply, and it also had a nice faint floral scent.

Cons: It's designed to perk up your eye area, but I'm sure my chin wouldn't have minded some coverage too!

Usually, I stick to gentler ingredients like hyaluronic acid and aloe, but my face was in need of a serious reset, so I decided to try this vitamin A- (aka retinol-) infused option.

Pros: The mask itself is printed with adorable beets, as well as the message "Beet of my heart," which makes it especially primo for #maskselfies. And yes, it did leave my skin looking particularly bright and even the next day!

Cons: It stung the tiniest bit, but only on areas where I'd, er, picked at my skin a bit. Which is definitely my fault, not the mask's.

This hyaluronic acid-packed mask is actually quite unique: It comes with a little capsule on top that you break to "activate" the mask. (The idea being that it keeps the ingredients more fresh.)

Pros: I'd read that Neogen masks have especially nice construction, and that was definitely true. The mask itself was sturdy and well-saturated with serum. The mask felt somehow especially decadent as it soaked my face with much-needed hydration.

Cons: The extra step of breaking the capsule — while super easy and user-friendly — might be a turn-off if you're feeling especially lazy.

I love hydrogel masks, so I was pretty excited when this one arrived at my desk. It had a fun, jello-like texture and came in two pieces for better fit and coverage.

Pros: First of all, who doesn't love rose gold? I also found this sheet mask to be quite dew-ifying, thanks to hydrating and brightening ingredients like glycerin and niacinamide. It also contains fun novelty ingredients like rose extract, collagen and gold.

Cons: While the wild rose fragrance was delightful, it triggered my seasonal allergies just a bit. But if you don't have terrible hay fever like I do, you should be just fine!

I may just have saved the best for last: This three-part mask was quite the joy to use. It comes with an essence (a K-beauty staple!), a sleeping pack and of course, the sheet mask itself.

Pros: Each step adds just the right amount of weightless, non-sticky hydration. I also loved how nicely the thin hydrogel mask adhered to my face.

Cons: Part of the reason I left this mask for last was because I was feeling a little too lazy to do three whole steps. But given how quickly absorb, this is actually more of a pro than a con — especially at $6 per mask!
