I love face masks. They are my ultimate relaxation tool. Having a bad skin day? Face mask. Going through a breakup? Face mask. Prepping for a first date? Face mask. Girls night in? Face mask. You get the point. Face masks are great. Not only are they so relaxing and comforting to use, they also help make your skin look it’s best. However, not all face masks are equal. Some do absolutely nothing for my skin while others have the magic and power to transform my skin into a glowing, clear masterpiece. So here are some of my favorite face masks that do the latter, not the former.
Fresh Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask
This is my holy grail mask that I always reserve for special occasions. If I have a big event coming up that I need my skin to look extra good for, this is the mask I reach for. Honestly, I don’t know what is in this mask that allows it to do it’s job so well but after I leave this mask on for twenty minutes, my skin is so glowy, bright and hydrated. All the unevenness in my both my skin tone and skin texture has disappeared and my skin feels so soft and smooth! If y’all are a big fan of drinking kombucha, you’ll definitely be a fan of this mask because it’s powered by a proprietary complex of black tea ferment AKA kombucha that inhibits damaging free radicals and helps to improve skin elasticity!
Dior Hydra Life Extra Plump Smooth Balm Mask
This mask is my saving grace when I have any dry skin on my face. I rarely use this mask all over my face because it’s so rich and nourishing so it makes me break out. But, when I am feeling under the weather and my nose and lips are dry, I put a heavy layer on those areas over night (even though you are only supposed to leave it on for 3 minutes – I’m a rebel). It’s so soothing and instantly makes my dry skin feel repaired and hydrated! And because it’s plumping, it makes an amazing lip mask! I wake up the next morning with plump, moisturized lips!
Clinique City Block Purifying Mask and Scrub
This is a dual purpose, 2-in-1 mask (I love a multi-tasking queen) that both detoxifies and exfoliates. It’s a charcoal clay mask so it’s going to suck all the impurities out of your skin. All the dirt and oils are extracted out of my pores when I use this mask. But that’s not all, it also has littlenatural silica beads that gently exfoliate the skin when you wash off this mask in circular motions. I love using this mask when I want a really deep clean and want to clear out my pores. Plus the bright blue colour turns into a light blue colour (when it dries) so you know exactly when to wash it off! No need to set a timer!
Bio Beauté Radiance Detox Mask
This is a new addition to my mask collection but I have really been liking it! This mask is super cool because it has a 3-step texture.First, you apply the Vitamin-Rich Detox Mask in a thick layer and leave on for five minutes. After, you massage the mask into your skin and the gel transforms into an oil. Then, when you wash the mask off with water, the oil becomes a milky emulsion which helps it wash off easily! I find the three textures really help to clarify and detoxify my skin which adds so much more radiance to my complexion!
Farmacy Honey Potion Antioxidant Mask
This is probably the coolest mask I’ve ever tried… or should I say the warmestmask I’ve ever tried? This mask is actually a warming massage mask, meaning it heats up on your skin when you apply it. It’s a super relaxing sensation.It starts out as a sticky honey-like texture, but when you begin to massage it into the skin, it warms up and turns into a white creamy texture! And because it hasEchinacea GreenEnvy™ honey, this mask is full of potent, natural antioxidants making it the perfect mask to use when I’m experiencing a lot of breakouts!
