Do you prefer sheet masks or creamy and clay face masks?

I was given a face mask (the paper type) and decided I don't like them at all!
Ewww... slimy out of the package, then I had to peel the backing off, leaving it draped over the edge of the tub. The eye and mouth holes did not match up with mine, and it slipped around for the 15 minutes I had it on.

Give me a proper creamy or clay mask in a tube any day. Caudalie Vinopure Clarifying mask is my favourite. Probably much more economical as well, since the paper masks are single use.

What's your preference?

Ooooh clay all the way for me!! Love it when it dries and then cracks (maybe I’m odd).

I’m with you on sheet masks honestly. I do think creamy masks tend to feel more customizable because you can control the amount & target certain areas more easily. Clay masks especially can still be great when they’re balanced properly & not the super stripping type!

I personally prefer the ones i can put on and walk aroubd or go to bed.

But, i absolutely love the effect of Biodance overnight sheet masks. So can tolerate these every 4-5 days :)

I like the Lumene Vit C mask. Anything clay is too drying and creamy too pore clogging.

I do like a sheet mask occasionally as they tend to be quite lightweight.

Sheet masks because my skin is super dry - clay masks make it worse

I don’t like sheet masks because they’re too cold!
But I’m also not keen on a clay mask! I do like the Sisley velvet rose sleeping mask, it’s lovely and I’ve got it on at the moment, it’s more of a moisturiser but is really nourishing. I get on with it better than the clay or sheet ones.

Agree on the sheet masks tried one and it was horrible. Love pure clay, I have oily skin so it sucks out all the crap!
