The Face Mask Edit
We wear them during the day, and we should wear them at night too! For the first time in most of our lives, we have been wearing face masks throughout the day. While masks are great for our health and protection, they have brought about new skincare concerns that most of us have never considered. Constantly having a piece of fabric against our faces can cause excess oils to build up on our skin, which is why it is important we put on a mask right after we take the other one off!
Thankfully, skincare face masks are not a new concept and there are so many great options. Below I have listed and reviewed four great masks that help purify and restore skin. The first two are my personal favorites; I also reached out to some of my friends to add their personal favorites as well. Here are my thoughts!
My personal number one favorite is the Origins Retexturizing Mask with Rose Clay. This mask has been my go-to for years, and it has especially been such a lifesaver these recent months. Not only does this mask clean pores, it also exfoliates the skin and draws out any imperfections. It is perfect to use a couple nights a week when you feel like your skin could use some purifying.
Price: $26
The Mask of Magnaminty by Lush Cosmetics is another favorite of mine. First of all, it smells amazing! It is so fresh and simply smells clean. It contains peppermint oils to extract debris from pores, and other ingredients such as vanilla and honey to calm and smooth the face.
Price: $14.95

My friend Lilly has one face mask that she considers to be the ‘holy grail’. It is the Earth Tones Face Mask by Asarai. This face mask is great for someone who only has a few minutes to do their night-time skincare, as it only takes 10 minutes to clean the skin. While this mask is a little pricier, most agree that a little goes a long way with this product. It is also all-natural which is always a plus when shopping for skincare.

Next is the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrogel Mask. This one is a recommendation from my friend Heather who has the best glowing skin! This mask is perfect for when you feel like your face needs to regain some moisture and bounce. I’ve actually tried Neutrogena’s full Hydro Boost line, which includes this mask, and I’ve loved every single product. This mask is a single-use sheet mask, so this is a great product to try if you aren’t ready to commit to a whole bottle.
