What is a sheet mask?
Sheet masks are thin, pre-cut, serum-drenched sheets designed to give you magnificent skin in a few stupid, little minutes. (Ten, to be exact.) They’re the ideal preparation for makeup and sensational after a long flight or no sleep!
Our Transformazing mask is crammed with big-time brighteners: Kakadu plum extract, Tasmanian pepper leaf, and finger lime extract. And serious hydrators: niacinamide and hyadisine. Your skin is going to be glowier and brighter and juicier and less lined.
What does a barrier repair mask do?
These lush masks are made to replenish, nourish, strengthen the skin. Go-To’s version, The Repair Shop, is full of restorative vitamins, oils, and ceramides, along with hyaluronic acid and panthenol which will support your moisture barrier or repair your moisture barrier if it’s in need of some TLC (due to stress, weather changes, over exfoliation, pollution, diet, or lack of sleep).
Think of it - any barrier repair mask - like a hug in a tube no matter your skin type, age, or skin concern. They’ll rescue and soothe any face.
What does a clay mask do?
All skin types will benefit from a regular clay clear-out. But it’s doubly important for the oily and acne-prone who tend to have more trouble keeping congestion at bay.
A clay face mask, like The Removalist, is formulated with soothing minerals (kaolin clay and zinc oxide) and replenishing antioxidants to leave the skin feeling soft, calm, and clear. Use it as a gentle spot treatment on persistent pimples or as a weekly clear-out to detoxify the skin and keep it happy.
FAQs
How often should you use a face mask?
Depends on the face mask.
Apply a sheet mask whenever you want instantly glowy skin. We recommend using it before an event: Weddings! Parties! The Grammy’s!
A clay mask is something you’re going to want to slot into your routine at least once a week to give pores a real thorough clean. And as often as needed to spot treat any congestion that pops up.
A barrier repair mask is a brilliant chaser for a clay mask (putting good stuff back in after the bad stuff is drawn out). Otherwise, try and squeeze this product into your PM routine twice weekly for expertly soothed skin.
When should I use face masks in my skincare routine?
Cleanse, exfoliate (optional), and apply your chosen face mask to dry skin. Follow on with gentle, hydrating serums, oils, and a luxe moisturiser to top off this replenishing routine.
Can I use face masks if I have sensitive skin?
The Repair Shop is dermatologically tested to be suitable for sensitive skin. But we know of sensitive-skinned customers who have also had incredible results with other products from the Go-To range, including The Removalist, thanks to the super soothing properties of clay.
As with any new product you're introducing into your routine, be sure to patch test prior to using all over your face. Sensitivity levels vary for everyone.
What type of face mask is best?
The best face mask for you depends on your skin concerns.
If you have oily, blemish-prone, congested skin, a clay mask will be your best fit. A kaolin clay mask (ahem The Removalist) helps absorb the gunk and oils from the skin and clean out the excess bacteria/dirt/oil from your pores for a balancing, well-behaved complexion.
For dehydrated, thirsty, cranky skin, a barrier-repairing mask, packed with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and provitamin B5. Cranky skin barriers are the common culprit behind some of your skin’s most notorious issues: Redness, breakouts, and irritation and a treatment like Very Luxe Repair Mask has been formulated to replenish the nourishment your skin’s so desperately missing to help relieve and restore your barrier.
For deflated, fine-line-prone skin, a peptide-packed sheet mask will work wonders. Formulated with a high-performance cocktail of proven ingredients, Very Luxe Lifting Mask delivers deep hydration and barrier-support with a plush, bouncy finish that helps make your skin look plump, lifted, and snatched instantly.
For dull, lackluster skin, a radiance-boosting sheet mask. Ideally one with botanical superstars kakadu plum, finger lime, and tasmanian pepper leaf to deliver a bright, even-tone skin, like our cult-favourite Transformazing. Essential when preparing the skin for a party or event, and doubly essential the morning after, when your skin hates you.
Is a face mask good for your face?
Of course. Face masks work by drenching your skin in a highly concentrated formula in a short period of time, essentially giving you a supercharged dose of skincare.
Not all face masks are made the same, so we recommend opting for proven ingredients and science-backed formulas.
How long to leave a face mask on?
That depends on the face mask. Here’s a quickfire guide to using Go-To’s face mask collection. Transformazing: 10–15 minutes.
Very Luxe Lifting Mask: 10–15 minutes.
The Removalist: 10–15 minutes.
Very Luxe Repair Mask: minimum 10 minutes. This one can be left on overnight for an intense surge of hydration and replenishment.
What is the best anti-ageing mask?
The best anti-ageing face mask will be packed with smoothing, hydrating, and lifting ingredients to tackle the common side-effects of mature skin.
Face masks with ingredients like peptides (a line-smoothing ingredient known to tighten, refine, and soften the appearance of wrinkles for a firmer, refreshed, and well-rested complexion), hyaluronic acid (a humectant that drenches the skin in hydration at multiple levels) and ceramides (that mimics the lipids naturally found in your skin, reinforcing your barrier and locking in moisture) will be the best pick.
