Planning for a vacation? A trip to the mountains would be just perfect to escape the summer heat. But travel definitely causes havoc on your skin. Skin damage occurs irrespective of your mode of transport. If you are traveling by plane, your skin is subjected to constant dryness taking away all its moisture and thus the major problem faced by women when they board off a plane is dullness in their complexion. If you are traveling by train, then your skin is subjected to a lot of dust which again will make you look dull. Well, the list doesn’t end here. It often happens that you may end up using beauty products from hotels that are completely unknown. This causes a lot of skin problems especially if you have a sensitive skin.
Well, now do you need to carry so many beauty products when you are traveling? Essentially, no. All you need is the right product for a targeted approach to your problems. If you ask me, then sheet masks are the best solution to all the skin problems that arise while you are on a vacation. They are easy to carry. And most importantly, all you need is 15 to 20 minutes.
Here I have listed 7 of my favourite Sheet Masks from The Face Shop which I bought from nykaa.com. So, are you ready for your weekly face mask regime?
Monday
I start my week with Pore Care Face Mask. If you have an oily skin like me then this face mask will do wonders to your skin. It will tighten the pores (especially around the T-zone of your face). The tannin content of the face mask will also hydrate your skin. I am very happy with the result I got. My face never looked so fresh and oil-free.
Tuesday
If you have blemishes and your skin turns red every time you go out in the Sun, then the Green Tea Face Mask is the perfect one for you as it is for me. I have been using this one for quite a long time now. Green tea is rich in plenty of anti-oxidants and thus they remove all the toxins from your skin improving your complexion. They also have catechins which help to combat acne. 
Wednesday
The thing that I love about the Olive Face Mask of this brand is that it gives an instant suppleness to the skin. So, if you are looking for some quick nourishment for your dried up skin, then this one is definitely the right choice.
Thursday
And now, coming to mid-week I prefer the Brightening Face Mask of The Face Shop. It gives your complexion a boost when you are already tired due to all the stress. It is also one of the best masks to combat all that sun damage you acquired in the summer (it has definitely worked for me). When all your sunscreens and lotions cannot keep sun damage at bay, you should definitely try out this mask and I can guarantee you that it will be worth it.
Friday
Finally its Friday or should I say Fri-yayy!!! Yes, the weekend vibe is on and why not pamper your skin with some sheet masks? The Red Ginseng Face Mask is my personal favourite for a Friday skin care regime. This is because they are an outstanding remedy to get rid of dark circles (which I happen to acquire most of the times).
Saturday
I prefer the Smoothing Face Mask on Saturdays as it is a perfect solution for exfoliating the dry cells from your skin. It contains the Black Willow Bark Extract which is a very famous natural ingredient for removing all form of impurities from the skin. And as its name suggests, you will get a dreamy and smoothing effect on your skin and you’ll definitely not need any filters for your selfies 😉 .
Sunday
Sunday is obviously the day to pamper yourself and what better way is there than to relive a spa experience right at your home. The Shea Butter Face Mask deeply moisturizes your skin and the best part is that you do not need to go to any spa for that. It also prepares your skin for the coming week so that you can start the week with a beautiful glow on your face.
Why are Sheet Masks Travel-Friendly?
- They are easy to put and they also come off easily.
- They can be carried in even the smallest bags.
- You need only 15-20 minutes for them.
- They are a lot inexpensive when compared to a spa session.
- They can keep your skin healthy and give you a brighter complexion even when your skin has been subjected to harsh environments.
Lastly, I would want to say something to all my readers that skin care is not only subjective but also takes time. You cannot expect your skin to change overnight but when you use the right products, you will definitely get a good result but it will require at least a month’s time. I have been using these face masks for over a month now and only after that, I have got marked changes in my skin. So, don’t get carried away by the opinion of others and expect results that cannot happen overnight.
Beauty lies in your own uniqueness and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Take care and feel beautiful. 🙂
