Sheet masks are a billion dollar plus industry built on trends and waste. Each one generates non-recyclable trash, delivers watered-down formulas, and works for just 20 minutes. Your skin does its best repair work during 8 hours of sleep—not 20 minutes with fabric on your face. Here's why we made COMUNE Revitalize Overnight Mask instead of following the sheet mask trend.
