Sheet masks have revolutionized the world of skincare, offering a convenient and effective way to deliver potent ingredients to the skin. However, not all sheet masks are created equal. The material a sheet mask is made from can significantly impact its effectiveness, comfort, and overall performance.
Tips for Choosing the Right Sheet Mask for Your Skin Type
Choosing the right sheet mask for your skin type is essential to ensure you're getting the most out of your masking experience. Here are some tips to help you select the perfect mask for your unique skincare needs:
Oily or Acne-Prone Skin: If you have oily or acne-prone skin, look for sheet masks that contain ingredients like salicylic acid, tea tree oil, or charcoal, which can help to control excess oil, unclog pores, and prevent breakouts.
Dry or Dehydrated Skin: For dry or dehydrated skin, choose sheet masks that are infused with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or natural oils. Bio-cellulose masks, like the Horaios PureDerm™, are particularly effective for delivering deep hydration to dry skin.
Sensitive Skin: If you have sensitive skin, opt for sheet masks that are fragrance-free and contain soothing ingredients like aloe vera, chamomile, or centella asiatica. Avoid masks with harsh ingredients or exfoliating acids that may irritate your skin.
Mature Skin: For mature skin, look for sheet masks that target signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of firmness. Masks containing antioxidants, collagen, or retinol can help to plump, firm, and rejuvenate the skin.
Combination Skin: If you have combination skin, you may benefit from using different sheet masks on different areas of your face. For example, use a clay or charcoal mask on your T-zone to control oiliness, and a hydrating mask on your cheeks to address dryness.
FIBER (NON-WOVEN)
Fiber (Non-Woven) Sheet Masks Fiber or non-woven sheet masks are the most basic and affordable option on the market. These masks are typically made from synthetic fibers, such as polyester or polypropylene, which are pressed together to create a thin, pliable sheet.

- Suitable for most skin types
- Can be used with a variety of skincare ingredients
Cons:
- May not adhere well to the skin, reducing the absorption of active ingredients
- Can feel rough or scratchy on sensitive skin
- Not as eco-friendly as natural alternatives

The Horaios Difference and the Materials We Use
At Horaios, we are dedicated to using the most innovative and highest-quality materials in our sheet masks to ensure optimal results for your skin. Our signature PureDerm™ mask is crafted from a natural, single bacteria cellulose membrane derived from the fermentation of acetobacter. This unique material sets our masks apart from those made with traditional non-woven fabric, pulp, hydro-gel, or even complex bacteria cellulose.
The single bacteria cellulose membrane used in Horaios PureDerm™ masks offers several key advantages:
Unparalleled Thinness: Our cellulose membrane is incredibly thin, measuring less than 20 nm in thickness. This allows the mask to reach facial skin grooves as deep as 50 nm upon application, ensuring optimal contact and absorption of active ingredients.
Superior Penetration: The protruding fine micro-fibrils (20 nm in length) on the surface of our single bacteria cellulose membrane facilitate deep penetration of the mask's essence into the skin, delivering nourishment where it's needed most. Effective
Transdermal Efficacy: The natural fibrillar structure of our bio-cellulose membrane effectively facilitates the transfer of nourishment with percutaneous absorption, thanks to its nano-scale design.
Uncompromising Purity: At Horaios, we implement a stringent washing process to completely remove acetobacter from our bio-cellulose membrane, resulting in a transparent, medical-grade material. This process eliminates potential allergens like acetobacter protein and endotoxin, ensuring a pure and safe masking experience.
Exceptional Safety: Our single bacteria cellulose membrane is free from heavy metals, microorganisms, fluorescent agents, formaldehyde, and cytotoxicity. It has also been tested to cause no adverse reactions in skin stimulation tests, making it suitable for even the most sensitive skin types.
In addition to our cutting-edge single bacteria cellulose membrane, the Horaios PureDerm™ mask is infused with a powerful blend of botanical extracts, ceramides, and essence oil serum. This carefully curated combination of ingredients works synergistically to target dry patches, deeply hydrate the skin, and promote a healthy, radiant complexion.
Experience the Horaios difference for yourself and discover the transformative power of our single bacteria cellulose membrane sheet masks. Your skin will thank you for choosing the most advanced, pure, and effective bio-cellulose material available in the market today.
