(57) A skin application sheet for being impregnated with a cosmetic preparation is provided which is suitable for a face mask and so on, and causes less irritation to skin, and has good application properties. A splittable conjugate fiber web containing at least 50% by mass of splittable conjugate fibers is placed on one surface or both surfaces of a hydrophilic nonwoven containing at least 50% by mass of hydrophilic fibers and hydroentanglement treatment is conducted to split the splittable conjugate fibers into ultrafine fibers with a fineness of 0.5dtex and to form a ultrafine fiber layer containing at least 10% by mass of the ultrafine fibers and to integrate the hydrophilic nonwoven and the ultrafine fiber layer so that a sheet is obtained. This sheet is impregnated with the cosmetic preparation and used in such a manner that the ultrafine fiber layer is a skin contact surface.
