10 relaxing face masks to get your through the holiday season
GLAMGLOW
SUPERMUD Charcoal Instant Treatment Mask, $60 at Sephora
Nikkia Joy : "I use as a spot treatment on acne. If I am really, really legitimately wanting to zap a breakout, if I’ve got like a special event or something, I will use this every single time and it has never failed me. This is a charcoal mask. It smells actually amazing. It’s like licorice or something. A lot of people don’t like the smell of it; I personally love the smell of it."
Banish
Pumpkin Enzyme Mask, $39 at Banish
Trevor Ritchie : "This is a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful face mask if you need exfoliation, if you need to slough off any dead skin cells. This is a natural pumpkin enzyme mask that helps you exfoliate the skin. This mask is full of alpha hydroxy acids that are really gonna help to slough off the dead skin. This face mask [will] help reveal your natural, glowing skin, getting rid of all that dry, dead skin and just revealing that youthful glow. Great for anyone with acne skin, dry skin, oily skin, dull skin — it is good for every single skin type. This face mask is going to reverse skin damage, reduce fine lines and improve elasticity."
Herbivore Botanicals
Blue Tansy Resurfacing Clarity Mask, $48 at Herbivore Botanicals
Dentelle + Fleurs : "It really makes a big difference in my skin texture. You don’t feel like it’s too liquid, it really stays on the skin."
Fresh
Rose Face Mask, $62 at Fresh Nikkia Joy : "The purpose of this mask is to hydrate and tone. This smells like actual real roses. [You can] walk around the house or do housework or whatever it is, it’s not one of those masks where you’re actually stuck on the couch. It’s got this special algae in it and that delivers optimum moisture. It's just got so much incredible stuff in it and I have tried a lot of hydration masks that do not work at all. This, I notice a huge difference in my skin. My skin feels so soft, so plump and moisturized, so hydrated. Like, I love it and because it does such an amazing job of hydrating the skin, definitely when ... I’m using this once a week, I find that I’m producing a lot less oil."
Chanel
Sublimage Masque Essential Regenerating Mask, $200 at Chanel Beauty Within : "[It] feels more hydrated and fresh. [This is] more of a long-term result."
For Beloved Girl
Oil Control Mineral Cloud-Silk Mask, $15.99 at Amazon Dentelle + Fleurs : "I really like it. It has tea tree oil in it and zinc, which helps your pores to not get super clogged and dirty. This one really works to control oil, helps unclog pores."
Charlotte Tilbury
Goddess Skin Clay Mask, $55 at Nordstrom Dentelle + Fleurs : "It really leaves your skin baby smooth. If you’re like me and you get pimples sometimes and you have acne-prone skin on your T-zone, I would really recommend to do a clay mask at least once a week."
