I’m a sucker for facemasks. I don’t use them enough to be honest, about once every two weeks, I suppose. Yeah, not enough!
I like to have a variety of facemasks that I can switch between depending on what my skin is behaving like that week. My favorite type of masks are ones I can pop on while I’m having a shower for 10-15 minutes. Although I love how a clay mask looks and feels like I have done one. Sometimes I feel as if they don’t do a lot for my skin, so I often opt for a brightening mask, something that I actually notice a difference afterward. I can’t wait to share my top 5 face masks that will totally transform your skin. I have tried to find 5 completely different textures and qualities for each mask, so at least one of them should suit you and your skin type.
Guerlain Repairing Honey Gel Mask
This is a stunning honey mask, which we all know honey is fantastic for the skin. If you suffer from sun damage or dry skin and need a repairing face mask for a nourishing fix, this mask is beautiful. The texture is a light gel that you only need a small amount to pop over the skin. Personally, I’m not keen on having to put thick layers on as it can feel heavy and be a nightmare to remove.
I usually remove it with water and a muslin cloth for some light exfoliation after around 10 minutes. It doesn’t leave my skin feeling tight or red, but it looks nourished and fresh, which is gorgeous for a boost of goodness.
ARK Skincare Hydration Mask
I have shown this in several blog posts now because I am in love with it. The most significant selling point for me was that I can achieve instant hydration in 5 minutes. Sometimes I can tell as I am about to apply my makeup that my foundation is going to crumble and look dull because my skin looks dry and lifeless, so I pop on a layer on this. I usually get changed while I wait, but afterward, my foundation applies flawlessly as my skin has been fed with loads of multivitamins. It plumps the skin, and a lush pick me up for a midweek pamper. It brings out the glow from within by boosting your hydration levels.
Kiehl’s Turmeric and Cranberry Seed Masque
I must admit that I am gutted that I have a sample sized pot of this mask because it’s incredible. If you are after a brightening and rejuvenating mask that instantly makes your skin look alive, this mask is for you. It energizes the skin in 10 minutes. My skin is glowing after using this mask. I love it because wearing makeup everyday mixed with the lack of sleep makes my skin look so dull and tired. This is a product I often grab for my self-care session on a Sunday evening. It’s Instagram worthy too with its light yellow shade and black cranberry seeds that you can massage into the skin to gently exfoliate, so it’s a two one product.
Sephora Pearl Sheet Mask
Sephora makes incredible sheet masks. I have gone through around 8 of these now, and I have loved them all. My skin goals involve brightening and increasing the glow within the skin. The perle sheet mask is mainly concentrating on perfecting and brightening the skin, and when I took this off, I couldn’t believe how bright my skin looked. I massaged the rest of the product. I actually didn’t feel like I needed to apply any moisturizer or anything as I was so hydrated and glowy. I know it can be hard to get hold of in the UK, but if you can get your hands on them, then stock up as you will not want to run out of them!
Origins Original Skin Clay Mask
I suffer from a lot of texture on my forehead that I cannot get rid of! I went on a mission and bought loads of minis that I could try and see if they reduced it. I must admit that this is the only product so far that I notice a considerable difference on my forehead. As it dries, you will see how much texture you have on your skin as you will notice the raised areas, which is quite interesting to see. It hasn’t completely removed all the texture, but it definitely keeps it at bay and avoids it getting worse.
Hopefully, you’ll be able to find a facemask that will help your skin and improve your pamper routines to achieve that perfect skin that you are looking for. Let me know if you have a facemask that you are in love with, as I would love to give them a try!
