Hygiene

Clay masks are usually packaged in a pot or tube and used multiple times until the pot is empty. Sheet masks are usually used once. Clay masks last longer but sheet masks are more hygienic.

Exfoliation

Clay masks dry and set on your skin so some exfoliation occurs. Sheet masks are not exfoliating, but hydrating. Sheet masks are ideal for dry skin types and anyone who needs extra hydration.

Application

In general sheet masks are easier to apply. They are less messy and easier to remove. Clay masks need some extra time to apply, but offer a targeted application for problematic areas.

Ingredients

In general clay masks are better for skin that is congested and blemish prone. Loaded with skincare benefits, they remove impurities and reduce the appearance of large pores. Sheet masks are good for dry skin that needs a boost. They deliver key antioxidants and vitamins to the skin.

Frequency

Sheet masks are more gentle and nourishing. Therefore, they can even be used daily. Clay masks work deeper into the skin, so should be used less frequently. Applying a sheet mask is quick and easy so best for those with limited ‘me’ time.

Make sure you choose the best mask for your skin type to elevate your skincare routine. For more Christmas skincare gifting ideas, check out the SkinBase shop.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
