Nothing in the world feels better than to have an at home spa day after a long day. Face masks are a little treat for your skin that target specific skin concerns and are great to use at least once a week. Whether you suffer from dry skin, redness, oily skin, or want to get rid of a face bump, there’s definitely a mask out there that can help.
Check out our picks for face masks for every skin type.
Dry skin. Clinique Moisture Surge Overnight Mask, $33. This creamy mask is great for anyone suffering from dry skin or dry patches due to aging or harsh weather conditions. Put this on at night after your regular skincare routine and wake up to dewy, radiant skin.
Brightening. Shiseido White Lucent Power Brightening Mask, $68. Sometimes when stress takes over or your health isn’t at its best, dull skin can occur. This sheet mask is great for giving the skin a brightening boost as well as a dewy finish. Great for all skin types, especially dull or lackluster skins.
Large Pores. Dr. Jart Pore Minimalist Mask, $7.50-$35. Pretty much everyone can suffer from pore issues at one point or another and the reasons may vary. Aside from proper cleansing and moisturizing, using a mask like this regularly can help maintain smaller looking pores due to ingredients like Korean charcoal and spearmint extract that help purify pores.
Redness. Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask, $45. People who suffer from sensitive skin usually have the unwanted accompanied redness. To soothe the skin, try a gel mask like this or any 100% aloe vera gel. Put it in the fridge prior to application for an extra cooling effect and to help close enlarged pores.
Breakouts. Queen Helene Masque Mint Julep, $3.99. Everyone gets breakouts, especially at that time of the month or during high levels of stress. With hormonal breakout, you can’t do much to prevent them but you can definitely get rid of them when they do show. Apply this mask as a spot treatment before going to bed and wake up to a smaller bump with considerably less redness.
Antiaging. Lancome ‘Hydra-Intense Masque’ Hydrating Gel Mask with Botanical Extract, $35. Keeping your skin young and bouncy is all about proper moisturizing and overall good skin habits. This mask helps to deeply moisturize the skin for a hydrated and smooth appearance. The best part: you only need 5 minutes for deeply hydrated skin.
Oily. Sephora Green Tea Mask, $6. If you suffer from an oily t-zone or blemishes, this mask is perfect for you. It helps mattify the skin by absorbing excess sebum and purifying the skin. At this inexpensive price, you can use this a couple of times a week to help create fresher looking skin.
