Using a light toner to refine your skin texture before applying a face mask actually improves absorption.

If you frequently use sheet masks for your home skincare routine, I recommend soaking a cotton pad with toner and gently wiping your skin's texture before applying the mask, rather than putting it on immediately after washing your face. I used to just wash up quickly and put the mask on right away when I was feeling lazy, but perhaps because fine dead skin cells weren't properly removed, the ingredients felt like they were just sitting on the surface. When you thoroughly prep your skin with toner before applying the mask, you can definitely feel the essence absorbing deeply and firmly into your skin instead of just sitting on the surface. It's a small habit, but it makes a surprisingly big difference, so give it a try tonight.
