If Monday is a fresh start, Sunday is your moment to reset, mind, body, and skin. A skincare ritual that feels indulgent yet intentional can be the perfect punctuation mark to end the weekend and prep for the week ahead. That’s where sheet masks come in: easy, effective, and surprisingly versatile.
In this guide, we’ll explore five smart and simple ways to use face masks during your Sunday self-care session, whether your goal is hydration, glow, firming, or just some quiet me-time. There’s also a comparison table below to help you match each idea to your skin’s current mood.
Why Sunday is the best day to mask
While any day is a good day for skincare, Sunday offers unique benefits:
- You’re less rushed, so you can actually relax while masking.
- Your skin has been through a week of stress, sun, pollution, and makeup, perfect time to reset.
- It sets the tone for your week, caring for yourself now reminds you to keep it up tomorrow.
Plus, your Sunday mask session doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, the simpler the better, as long as it works.
1. The triple-treat ritual
Use all three core masks (Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, and Collagen) but break them up over the course of the day:
- Morning: Start with the Vitamin C Mask to brighten and energize your skin.
- Afternoon: Use the Hyaluronic Acid Mask after your nap or workout for intense hydration.
- Evening: End your day with the Collagen Mask to plump and firm before bed.
This isn’t just luxurious, it’s strategic. Each mask tackles a different concern, giving your skin a full reset.
2. The one-and-done multitasker
Don’t want to spend the whole day masking? Choose one mask that multitasks, hydration + brightening or soothing + firming.
Our Vitamin C + Collagen combo mask in the bundle is a great example. Apply it after cleansing, and while it works, do your Sunday journaling, read a book, or prep for the week ahead.
Pro Tip: Follow it with a light facial massage or ice roller to seal in results.
3. The post-shower hydration hug
Just stepped out of a steamy shower? Your pores are prepped and your skin is warm, the perfect moment to use a Hyaluronic Acid Mask.
Here’s how to do it right:
- Pat your skin dry, but leave it slightly damp.
- Apply the HA mask and relax for 15-20 minutes.
- Follow with a moisturizer to seal in the hydration.
Your skin will feel like it drank a full glass of water, and that glow will carry into Monday.
4. The Netflix-and-mask wind-down
Sunday night Netflix? Pair it with a Collagen Mask. Why?
- It works beautifully while you relax.
- It helps reduce fine lines that formed during the week.
- It sets the tone for a restful, skin-repairing sleep.
Add a cup of tea and a silk robe, and you’ve got a full spa moment in your living room.
5. The DIY spa station
Turn your bathroom into a spa for 30 minutes:
- Light a candle and put on calming music.
- Double cleanse your face.
- Use a warm towel for 2-3 minutes.
- Apply your favorite mask based on your skin’s need that day.
- Lie down, breathe deep, and just be.
When the mask comes off, gently pat in the excess serum, follow with a moisturizer, and you’ll be amazed at how both your skin and your mind feel renewed.
