the next big thing in skincare
I have about 12 different types of face masks in my beauty arsenal. One for moisture, another for acne, even brightening and the list goes on, but the latest craze in masks is isn't in the ingredients. Sheet masks, stretchable paper masks that deliver powerful blends of ingredients, are the new "it" girl in skincare. Celebs like January Jones and Kelly Osbourne have been showcasing their enthusiasm for the newest trend on Instagram and the world is catching on. Here are the newest sheet masks for your skin type.
