A fabric or other sheet carrying cosmetic liquid for temporary application to the face.
What it is, why people use it, the evidence, and what to know before trying it.
The sheet keeps the formulation in contact with the skin and temporarily limits evaporation. Effects depend on the liquid ingredients and wear time, not the sheet alone.
Regulatory status: Cosmetic when used for cleansing or appearance; therapeutic claims may change the applicable regulation.
Evidence basis: Human clinical evidence
A sheet mask may temporarily hydrate skin. No necessary daily frequency or lasting treatment effect is established by a product demonstration; basic moisturizer guidance is indirect.
Confidence: weak
Situations where this practice may need modification or professional guidance.
