Beauty trends come and beauty trends go. Hello no-makeup-makeup, goodbye severe contouring. It seems every time you flip through a magazine or peruse your favorite blog, there’s a *flashing lights* NEW TREND that requires you to stop everything right this moment and try NOW.

Most recently, the sheet mask is that thing. But this skincare trend is showing no signs of slowing down. In fact, it’s just the opposite. The serum-soaked sheet mask market is exploding, and options vary wildly by cost, fabric, key ingredients, skincare concerns, targeted body parts, etc.

Feeling a little lost in the sheet mask shuffle? Not sure which one is right for you? Read on as we break down the best of the best for your specific skincare goals and needs. Take copious notes!
