No sheet Love presoaked face and eye masks but hate the waste? Here’s an eco-friendlier alternative

CHATELAINE • MARCH/APRIL 2022
This set of reusable masks by Toronto-based skincare brand Province Apothecary is meant to be used with your favourite creams and serums, which is not only cheaper in the long run but also keeps single-use sheet masks and patches (which come packaged in plastic and often contain non-compostable synthetic materials) from ending up in the trash. Made from silicone, they seal in active ingredients close to the skin to maximize absorption. Apply a small amount of product to the area you’re treating, pop on the sheet mask or eye patches (or both at once—you deserve it!) and chill out for up to 30 minutes. After use, wash with a gentle soap, let them air-dry and store in their pouch until next time. Reusable Silicone Sheet Mask Set for Face and Eyes, $36, provinceapothecary.com.

Just nine percent of all plastic gets recycled, which means that nearly all of the jars and bottles that clutter our countertops will eventually end up in the landfill. The good news? A new crop of minimally packaged skincare products are making it easier to embrace sustainability
