You can take a muslin cloth and hold it against your face. You can use your eyebrow pencil to mark out where the eyes, nose and mouth are so you can easily but them off.

- Cut out the holes perfectly with a pair of scissors. This will allow you to breathe, talk and see while you have the mask on.

- Add your skincare ingredients like some brown rice in water for 5-6 hours. you can then dip the cotton wipes/mask sheets into it and refrigerate it. You can let it sit for 20 minutes and your refreshing rice water sheet mask is ready for use! Brown rice is loaded with antioxidants that helps in making your skin glow. It's also one of the most trusted and effective anti-aging agents.

- If in case you have sensitive skin, you can use a cucumber sheet mask which will work as a better option. Cucumbers are packed with vitamin C and contains caffeic acid that helps in fighting swollen and irritated skin. It also helps in reducing the signs of aging. For this, you simply need to extract the cucumber juice, dip the mask cloth it the juice and refrigerate it for 30 minutes before use.
