Perhaps one of the prettiest gifts I received last Christmas was the package I got from
MaskerAide. From the envelope, to the ribbon, to the box, to the product itself, everything just screamed of cuteness. I posted
this collage on Instagram as soon as I got home from the post office, and my friends went gaga over that lovely pink ribbon, haha!

Now would you believe this gift came from halfway around the world? Yup, this came all the way from
Toronto, Canada, where these sheet masks are formulated.

What is a sheet mask, you might ask? (Because you've seen a
wash-off mask, a
clay mask, and a
mud pack in this blog - but never a sheet mask.)
A sheet mask is a special type of face mask made from a thin fiber sheet (
say, a tissue) that is cut to the contours of the face and is soaked in serum. Unlike the aforementioned masks which can be quite messy to apply, sheet masks are simply worn on the face like this.

As the mask sits on your face, the vitamins and nutrients infused in the mask are incubated and get soaked on to the skin, while thecooling effect stimulates blood flow and relaxes the facial muscles.
MaskerAide sheet masks provide deep hydration and eliminates signs of aging, dryness, and dehydration on the skin. This translates into a soft, supple, and radiant-looking skin.
The complete
MaskerAide line includes six different types of sheet masks, and I'm thankful to have received one of each. Let me walk you through these variants, clockwise starting with the leftmost on the top row.

The
Detox Diva, a mask drenched in clear serum, contains a powerful mix of antioxidants to cleanse and detoxify the skin. The
All Nighter is perfect for those days when your skin is all parched and dry from the lack of proper sleep, while the
Weather Warrior is best for those days when the extreme weather (think Philippine summer or Canadian winter) has taken toll on your skin.
For a more relaxing sleep, the
Beauty Rest'ore mask and its moisturizing and calming formula should do the trick. For those who would like to retain their skin's youthful glow, then the
I Don't Wanna Grow Up mask is the way to go. Finally, for the night owls and party animals,
Pre Party Prep primes the skin and gets it ready for a night of partying.

All of
MaskerAide's sheet masks are drenched in a highly-concentrated, Argan Oil-based serum. And as we all know, Argan Oil is greatly valued for its nutritive, cosmetic and numerous medicinal properties.
In addition,
MaskerAide takes pride in their mask's gentle formulation, making their product suitable for even those with sensitive skin. Their sheet masks are also free of harsh chemicals such as parabens, glycerin, mineral oil, and benzophenone. Plus points for using eco-friendly, vegan-friendly, and completely recyclable materials and packaging!
Priced at
$4.99 each, these MaskerAide sheet masks have taken Canada by storm and are available in spas, boutiques, and beauty outlets from Vancouver all the way to Toronto. (

bought online, too, and the good news is, MaskerAide ships worldwide!
I'm sleeping with a
MaskerAide sheet mask tonight. That is, once I make up my mind which variant to use. They're all so cute, I can't even bring myself to tear the packaging! And once I do, expect me to share my complete MaskerAide experience. More product reviews to look forward to, yay! :)
