Netflix should pick up this series- the quality is amazing! Really helpful and informative. I love my sheet masks but learning all this is giving me pause.
that is what I was concerned with too. Thats why I shifted to compressed sheet masks which are coin sized. So, now I can use it with any of my favourite serum. The compressed sheet masks don't come in those individual plastic outer packaging.
Love this. I recently saw that Glow Recipe is starting to do something similar to what Krave did with their overproduction products with one of their toners. The best by date is June or July 2023 and they’re selling it for 50% of what the usual cost is which I thought was kind of cool. I wish more companies would do this to reduce waste because we all know they toss it after that best before date (I think)
I got really concerned about the sustainability of sheet masks when they first appeared and gained popularity in the west. I still, to this day, see sheet masks as a treat for special occasions. It's something I treat myself to once or twice a year if even that. 🤷🏻♀
Additon: I have seen sheet masks made of viscose/lyocell fibers, which is a man-made fiber from wood. It is a better alternative, but as always less/no waste is the most sustainable way (inkl. packaging).
Watching this before I order more skincare and had to remove the sheet mask packs from my cart! Going to explore some better tub masks that I can recycle the packaging instead and invest in good serums and occlusives to help the underlying condition of my skin vs. temporary solution and single-use waste solution of sheet masks. It's gonna be a hard transition but worth it for the long-run of waste reduction and sustainability!
I actually like the cooling feeling biocellulose over cotton ones surprisingly so been buying those more often instead.. yep I broke up with using sheet mask every day. I also thought I wouldn't be able to do it but my skin isn't missing it too much. Now I just buy sheet mask when I am ordering skincare and need a couple of bucks more to get free shipping. :)
Great video 👍 I never gave any thought on how sheet masks were made or their impact on the environment; I recently stocked up on them but from now on will definitely buy alternatives / reusable products
I learned something new today yey! Thanks for sharing Liah, your videos are so informative and so creative😁 And that clip of your younger self is so cute😍
Hey girl! I love your video, the topic is awesome, but let me tell you 2 things as correction with a good intention. First, cotton as waste material comes from when the fibers go through a classification after harvesting at the very beginning of a production line, not from scraps or leftovers from the garment industry, because that material is already dyed in certain colors and handled with different chemicals on the surface. Also, when undyed cotton materials are made, it is not bright white naturally even though the fibers look like on the plants, it has a yellowish undertone, therefore the sheet masks ready to use are made from bleached cotton, just as the cotton pads. By the way I'm a sustainable fashion student at UEL, so if you need any further info on any other topics related to sustainability or fashion industry please feel to send a message to me, I'm happy to share my knowledge with you.
In Korea is there a more sustainable way to get rid of sheet masks? I know America is notorious for not recycling versus Korea where there is this idea in America that Korea is very strict with their recycling laws. Are the sheet masks able to be properly disposed of or recycled in Korea compared to America?
Thank you for this informative and easily digestible video! What are your thoughts on masks that aren’t sheet masks but carry serums like clay or charcoal masks?
Hi, thank you for this info. I have just seriously involved into skincare for a few months but sheetmask always make me frown whenever i search for something to boost my skin hydration. Ah how about Foreo UFO the mask device with some « cheating » by running on skin slugged with nutritious toner? I have seen a few beauty bloggers doing it, instead of getting Foreo sheet masks which are slightly expensive.
When asking which is better, up-cycling vs using a petroleum product or supporting local business (like a cafe) vs avoiding coffee, I like to ask at which point am I supporting local vs the industry?
Question: How long is the reusable sheet mask can last? 1 year? 2 year? How to keep it mold free and hygienic? I live in very hot and humid country that even those strength band will melts, so do I need to store the reusable sheet mask inside the fridge? If I only use it once a week, it is still worth the waste to use the reusable sheet mask?
Hi cutie pie I'm fst Tym viewer morning my son first birthday function so plz tellme should I use sheet mask a day before event.. night use best results a r morning use after makeup plzz tellme because my face so lot's of dull
ive stop using sheet masks for around a year now simply because i just cant accept the fact that the world has to have one more waste just because i want to pamper myself for 30 minutes 😂😅 nowadays lots of masks that are amazing comes in tube and jars so I highly recommend them to anyone looking to save money + more environmental friendly!
I'm just glad I can still order plastic straws from China. I haven't found an available alternative which is comparable. If they focused on sourcing cornstarch straws (you can't tell they're not plastic!) then I would buy them instead. But no, they focus on selling silicone, metal, paper. There are places I could get cornstarch straws but since they're not mainstream they're expensive.
