Now that we’re heading into fall, you’re likely in need of a hydrating sheet mask (or five) more than ever. Let’s be honest, we’re all in the same place, having spent a whole lot of time out in the sun these last few months. Whether it’s been at the beach, the park, the ballpark, or just hanging on the stoop or your backyard, you’ve soaked in plenty of rays, which has given you a magic glow — and, let’s be honest, likely led to some pretty dry skin. On the one hand, that’s a sign of a life well-lived, but at the same time, dry skin is itchy, flaky, and not necessarily the most flattering. Again, we get it — we lived it up this summer, too.

All this summer sun means you’re in need of some serious hydration — and a great hydrating sheet mask is the absolute fastest, most convenient way to infuse your skin with moisturizing nutrients and smooth out dry patches. We love hydrating lotion and moisturizers, too, but hydrating sheet masks get the job done quickly and efficiently without leaving a mess or making it impossible to do anything with your hands for long stretches of time. Just put on a hydrating sheet mask for about 15 minutes, enjoy the sensation of your face being nourished with gentle intensity, and then take it off and behold the glow!

Hydrating sheet masks have been a staple beauty product in Asia for years, and the market for them has exploded in the west over the last few years as people have discovered their amazing benefits. That has led to both Asian companies setting up shop in the United States and American brands either importing products or creating their own hydrating sheet masks. The net result has been a huge influx in the number of hydrating sheet mask options available, and since they’re still a relatively new product here, you could wind up a little bit confused as to which ones to trust and which will work for you. Luckily, you have MASSE on your side.

Here at MASSE, it’s our goal to provide recommendations for the best hydrating sheet masks, as chosen by people who have really used them. The last thing we want is to let you take any risks with your complexion, so we’re not going to risk anyone giving you bad advice. With that in mind, we don’t allow any paid reviews or sponsored posts, so that the hydrating sheet masks we’ve laid out below are only the best of the best.
