Top Sheet Masks to Transition from Winter to Spring
The weather is constantly changing and along with it so does our skin. During winter it is easy for our skin to get dehydrated and suffer due to the external conditions. Yet now going into spring, it is only normal to want to repair that damage. A very well known but many times neglected item that we could use for this is sheet masks.
The proper sheet mask will be able to help nourish and hydrate your skin. Slowly healing the dehydrated deep layers and damaged skin barrier that winter might have left behind. Sheet masks are an easy solution, however, we tend to skip on them because of laziness or just not seeing good enough results that would push us a bit harder to use them more often.
It makes sense, we have a busy life in which we just want to make space for those things truly serving us and not all sheet masks do. In an overly saturated market in which you have thousands of options available, making the right choice it is sometimes not so apparent.
That is why this month at groove we have decided to do a rundown on editor's pick choices to help you narrow down the list to some of those that truly do work. We know the struggle of choosing and failing and therefore we want to give you some great recommendations. Products that work well and will benefit your skin to help you repair any damage and transition from winter to spring with your skin in its healthiest state.
PROFESSIONAL CARE
MVP LAB Cica Jelly Mask
Main Benefits: Deep Nourishment & Calming
A deeply nourishing mask that has made me fall head over heels for it these past months. Great ingredients and soothing properties to help rehydrate the skin from within. Created by professionals to help calm and regenerate the skin after treatments, this mask is one of those items that you can not miss if you have skin that easily loses its water and oil balance.
The jelly texture effortlessly absorbs into the skin, reaching deep into the more profound layers without leaving a heavy sensation. Keeping very dehydrated skin types like mine well-nourished, even for long periods of time after use. Some of the ingredients that I really appreciate besides the main components of madecassoside (a cica compound) and aloe vera extract are also:
Panthenol, which enhances hydration and cell growth
Chamomilla recutita flower extract, a great soothing and nourishing agent
Sodium hyaluronate, a derivative of hyaluronic acid and a humectant that will draw moisture into the skin
Propylene glycol, another great humectant and texture enhancer
If you are looking for a mask that:
Helps treat skin that gets easily dehydrated
Does not only target external dryness but also epidermal water loss
Helps plump up the skin and conceal textural issues thoroughly
Makes your skin glowy and healthy-looking.
This is a great choice to go for. The last thing I want to mention is that if you decide to try
it, you will soon realize how much essence comes into the package. Please DO NOT waste it, it will be such a shame. You can use it for your face as an essence the next morning but after the package is open it is best to use it as fast as you can, so my personal tip is to use the extra essence to hydrate your body as well, your body will thank you later.

INDIE BRAND PICK
BELLE MOMENT Blossom Complex
Main Benefits: Brightening & Moisturizing
The name of this brand might not ring any bells, but this mask is another treat that you might not want to pass on. An extremely moisturizing mask that while also delivers great levels of hydration it is slightly different from the above-mentioned choice. Whereas the previous MVP mask is an "any time" sort of mask. Belle Moment ́s Blossom Complex is best used at night to maximize results.
Floral extracts and botanical ingredients which are overflowing on its ingredient list are the main reason behind the glow that you will experience the next morning. While also containing humectants like hyaluronic acid my take on this mask is that besides nourishment, its main point is brightening. With great ingredients targeted towards evening out skin tone and caring for pigmentation like licorice extract, vitamin c and e, and niacinamide, you will be able to see immediate brightening effects in the morning. Yet also quite possibly reduced pigmentation with continuous use.
While this mask works for all skin types, keep in mind that the texture is a lot more occlusive than the MVP one, so it might require working the product in a little bit more for oilier skin types. Still a great nourishing mask to keep in mind especially if you are dealing with any sort of dullness or pigmentation issues.

ROAD-SHOP PICK
SKIN GRAMMAR: Super Good Repair Mask
Main Benefits: Skin Repair & Hydration
This mask is another must, in this case for those that are dealing with heavily damaged skin. If you are suffering from not only dryness but also a compromised skin barrier, have a look at this option. Containing 2,000ppm of an MMC moisturizing complex patented by the brand itself this mask will help care for heavily sensitive skin.
The mask and essence itself feel quite heavy when bringing them out of the package but do not let this scare you because the effects on the skin are quite different from what you might initially expect. This mask gives you a very hydrating yet light and soothing sensation while using it, and a very moist yet not occlusive finish. Something which I was honestly quite pleasantly surprised about after use due to its initial milky texture.
Another point that I adore from this mask besides the high content of skin-repairing ingredients like ceramides, madecassoside, and centella asiatica is the fact that it is extremely clean not only in ingredients but also the material of the gauze itself. With EGW all green ingredients, free of EDTA, which has been proven to have an effect on the marine ecosystem, and a 100% cellulose derived from plants sheet, this mask is another great alternative.
Extra tip: I also do highly recommend its twin sister from the same company for those with extremely damaged and reactive skin:
SKINRx LAB MadeCera Express Mask
Main Benefits: Repair & Skin Barrier Strengthening
Available: at Sephora and online
Notice that most of these picks are focused on nourishing the skin, soothing the skin and helping rebuild the skin barrier. That is due to the fact that skin can become extremely dehydrated during winter. These will be great masks to help you re-conduct your skin and infuse it with hydration from deep within, so we highly suggest you give them a try. To finish off, let me tell you that no matter if you decide to try them out or not, make sure to at least give your skin as much nutrition as it needs now. Do it in all the ways that you possibly can. That will ensure that your skin stays in its best condition for the months to come.
