We review the paper face masks that will have your skincare routine all wrapped up
A-listers love the South Korean skincare trend, and these are the best of the at-home facial fad
IT is the skincare trend from South Korea that won’t stay under wraps.
Sheet facial masks – aka cheat sheets – are the latest fad in at-home facials. Simply apply, wait for 15 minutes and peel off for a fast face fix.
A-listers love them, even though they make you look like Hannibal Lecter.
Here, LAURA STOTT puts the best to the test and rates them out of ten.
