Fashion with Trend

Few things equate with the spirit of self-care like a good sheet mask. On top of coercing active ingredients into the depths of our pores, they double as a veritable “Do Not Disturb” sign for our faces, fending off unwanted conversations and broadcasting to others that whatever household chore may require attention right now must wait. But it wasn’t until recently that the skincare community started to think about where each of those single-use sheets—often soaked with ingredients that make even cotton or bamboo masks non-biodegradable, not to mention all that packaging—end up. A few brands have been answering the call for a more sustainable sheet mask that still delivers all that skin brightening/soothing/pore refining goodness, but without ending up in a landfill for all of eternity. Here are three addressing the need:

Reusable Silicone Mask

($20, Elizabeth Grant)

Ditch the one-and-done habit without giving up your sheet mask habit with a reusable option. This 100% silicone mask can be layered over serum or traditional mask, effectively turning any product in your medicine cabinet into a sheet mask. Handy ear holes mean no slipping or sliding off your face when masking while multi-tasking.

Drops of Youth Youth Concentrate Sheet Mask

($6, The Body Shop)

Ok, so this one is a single-use mask, but the sheet itself is 100% biodegradable, meaning you can probably even chuck it into your backyard compost when you’re done with it. Made with 99% natural ingredients, including plant stem cells, leave it on for 15 minutes to reveal bouncy, hydrated skin. A clear conscience on not contributing to Canadian landfills doesn’t hurt, either.

Nannette de Gaspé Vitality Revealed™ Face Bio-Stimulant Dry Techstile Treatment

($145, Holt Renfrew)

Somewhere in between fully reusable and single-use, Nannette de Gaspé’s cult line is based on the technology of waterless infusion, known as BMV. The single dry-to-the-touch mask can be used up to five times (resealed after each use) and is activated by your own body heat, which triggers the formula to melt into skin, delivering an impressive 81% concentration of vitamins and nutrients.
