25 Best-Selling Japanese Face Masks For Every Skin Type

by Tabitha Wilders & Teni Wada | LIFESTYLE

These days, it seems like everyone is masking, especially here in Japan; but with literally hundreds (perhaps even thousands) of products on the market, how do you know which sheet mask is right for you? Here are a few tips on finding the best Japanese sheet mask for your skin type!

All-in-one sheet masks are very popular in Japan as they’re a great way to get the most out of your skincare regime when you’re pressed for time. While individually packaged face masks are found here, you’re more likely to encounter Japanese sheet masks sold in resealable packages or resealable plastic containers, which eliminates unnecessary waste.

Not to be overlooked, of course, is the Made in Japan label. Japanese skincare brands have expanded the variety of sheet masks by introducing products with a unique combination of ingredients that deliver just more than a boost in hydration – there are face masks for tackling fine lines, combating acne, evening out hyperpigmentation, and much more!

We’ve picked some of the most popular and effective Japanese face masks that you can buy on Amazon and arranged them by skin type: dry, oily, sensitive, normal, or anti-ageing. So whatever you need, there’s a Japanese sheet mask that has you covered!

You can also browse gorgeous silk brocade travel makeup bags handcrafted in Kyoto, to go with your Japanese facemasks, from the Japan Objects Store. Free shipping available worldwide!
