A serum applied to the face begins evaporating almost immediately. A sheet mask holds a similar formula against the skin under a physical barrier for twenty minutes, so far more is absorbed and far less lost to the air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThat makes a mask genuinely more effective than a serum — for about twenty-four hours.\u003c\/strong\u003e Both halves of that sentence matter: it really does work, and it really is temporary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also worth noting that hydration is the benefit sheet masks deliver most honestly. Firming and anti-wrinkle sheet masks are largely borrowing credibility from ingredients that need daily leave-on use to do anything.
