The secret behind the VS models' perfect skin? This GOLD sheet mask 💛
All eyes were on Shanghai this weekend, which is no surprise - the most beautiful women in the world descended on China’s capital for the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
While their killer bodies, bouncy hair and avant-garde outfits may take centre stage, there is no denying the angels have the most incredible glow on the stage - something that can’t just be attributed to good lighting.
Thankfully for us, several of the angels (Josephine Skriver, Lily Aldridge & Romee Strijd) let us in on the secret to their heavenly glow - the Gold Brightening Facial Treatment Mask by 111Skin. The cult sheet mask has a hydrogel body (which means it goes on the face like a second skin) and is drenched in brightening, hydrating and soothing ingredients like amino acids, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid. The coolest thing about it? The sheet mask isn't just gold in colour - it has REAL gold extract in it! Now that is pretty luxe (and the perfect Instagram opportunity).

For On-The-Go
Dry Sheet Mask £18 Charlotte Tilbury
One of the most off-putting things about sheet masks is their drippy, gloopy texture.

An ideal, mess-free solution for on-the-go.
