As a flight attendant constantly fighting a fatigued body, mind, and skin in dehydrating and recirculated air, I am always searching for ways to continuously spark the mind, invigorate the body, soothe the soul, and hydrate inside and out.

Drinks may be refreshing for the soul, but is draining to the skin. Not only must you intensely hydrate internally after a weekend of I’ll-just-have-one-drink nights turned to regretable debauchery, hydrating your skin externally is also crucial if you don’t want your coworkers to think you have the case of the Mondays.

Here’s the cheapest quick fix at about a dollar or two a pop: the disposable sheet mask. You open the package, unfold the mask, place over your face avoiding the eyes and mouth with its openings, wait about 15-30 minutes, discard the mask, and voila! You can pat the excess moisture into your skin if you need that extra oomph, or you can wipe it off with a toner. Of course before applying, you need to thoroughly wash your face of any makeup or dirt.

I use Aritaum sheet masks from Seoul, but not to fret. Sheet masks are a dime a dozen even in the US. You just need to know where to look. Most Korean and Japanese grocery stores have either a separate cosmetics counter or cosmetics aisle. Each sheet should cost you over $1. I highly suggest that you only use Korean made or Japanese made masks. Take into consideration that this is going on your skin; you wouldn’t want to use brands that use harsh chemicals. Also, amazon.com and ebay.com sell them bulk so it is easy to stock up. Brands to look for, Missha, Etude House, Amore Pacific, Mamonde, The Face Shop, Skin Food, Kose, and, Kracie. I have yet to try the high-end brands, but if you must, look for, Clinique, Shiseido, Lancome, and SKII.
