This At-Home Sheet Mask Hack Is Simple and Absolutely Genius

It's highly likely you are the proud owner of a jade roller and a variety of sheet masks. But, have you ever thought to use them both at the same time? I hadn't either. Lately, though, my late-night Insta-scrolling has uncovered that this hack has become a thing. You apply your sheet mask and then jade roll on top of it. 'Genius,' was my first thought. 'Gimmick,' was my second. But, after giving it a go, I can confirm it's absolutely effective.

Here's What You Need

• A sheet mask of your choice
• A jade roller (or another equally effective facial massaging tool)

How It Works

It's quite like a facial massage, except this tube of jade does all the work for you. For starters, jade has a naturally cool temperature, which means it may work wonders on puffy eyes. I keep mine bedside and gently roll those bags under my eyes until they're in better shape. According to skincare guru Ling Chan, jade rollers increase blood circulation, assist lymphatic drainage and diminish the appearance of fine lines (our facial muscles store a lot of tension.

Over a sheet mask, not only does the rolling action de-puff and boost circulation, but it may also help to massage the sheet mask ingredients into the skin. The post-treatment glow is unrivaled. You're essentially supercharging and accelerating the effects of your sheet mask with the roller.

Want to ramp up the results even more? Exfoliate your skin first to clear away any excess sebum or dead skin so the mask ingredients can penetrate even more effectively. Sure, exfoliating and massaging is a little extra effort compared with slapping on a sheet mask and taking a nap, but the additional steps are well worth it for the glow-boosting benefits you'll reap.
