A sheet mask is a perfect way to revive your skin after a long day. If you use them frequently, you’ve probably got it down to a fine art. But here’s something you may not know. You can double the effectiveness of your sheet mask with one simple trick.

When you read the instruction on your sheet mask, it tells you how long to leave it on for. On average, it’s 30 minutes. Halve the time stipulated in the instructions.

So, put the mask on for 15 minutes. After the first 15 minutes, remove the sheet mask. Flip it over and put it back on your face for the remaining 15 minutes.

It may sound unnecessary, but here’s why it works. The sheet mask is made with both sides containing the hydrating serums that refresh your skin. So, it doesn’t have a right side and a wrong side. The longer you leave one side on, the less serum is getting to your skin. It soaks in and then there’s no more. When you throw the sheet mask away, there is one perfectly good side you haven’t used. If you flip it halfway through, you maximize the nourishment to your skin.
