They come from Korea and provide the skin with plenty of vitamins over a longer exposure time. But not only that! In addition, they are effective against wrinkles and smooth them and also provide the skin with antioxidants and moisture. Sounds really promising, doesn't it?

You can use different ingredients when making your own sheet masks. You can find some of the options below. Simply choose the variant that you like best. The material used can also vary: pre-made cloth masks, baby cotton pads and dry facial tissues are just a few of the options. It is important that the cloth does not tear too quickly, that it can absorb the moisture from the serum and, if necessary, that it can be easily cut to size (for the holes for the eyes, nose and mouth).

Homemade cloth mask made from cotton pads for babies
For this sheet mask DIY, use cleaning cotton pads for babies, which are made of cotton and are particularly stretchy. This makes it ideal as a mask for the face. Since the sheet mask should ideally be nice and thin, you can use the individual layers of cotton pads. These layers must then be moistened. To do this, use water and one of the following products if you make the sheet mask yourself:

- Thermalspray
- rose water (can also be homemade)
Once the cotton pad layer is damp, you can pull it apart. Apply as many pads to your face until all areas of your face are covered (cheeks, nose, forehead, chin) and leave the homemade sheet mask to work for 5 to 20 minutes.
