"  Photograph by Liz Collins for Harper&amp;#039;s Bazaar Face masks have been enjoying a resurgence recently, and this year the industry has experienced an increased interest in sheet masks, also known as cloth masks. But how do they work? Each thin fabric mask comes individually wrapped in a sachet and is soaked in a potent serum. While you don&amp;#039;t look particularly attractive when wearing it, the masks, a popular trend in Asia, promise to transform dull, lacklustre skin into a healthy, radiant complexion.\u00A0 The idea of wrapping skin in a light fabric isn&amp;#039;t as revolutionary as we might think though, as the dermatologist at Cadogan Cosmetics Susan Mayou explains: &amp;quot;It is regularly recommended to those needing deep product penetration as it encourages the skin to effectively absorb the formula.&amp;quot; With this in mind, applying a skin-boosting serum underneath your cloth mask will ensure that the active ingredients are pushed as deeply as possible into the skin. For us, this is the sheet mask&amp;#039;s point of difference, as pairing a serum with a cream, clay or gel mask can be tricky.  Three of the best sheet masks The original: SK II Facial Treatment Mask, \u00A360, is a product we recommend over and over again.
