Winter weather doesn’t exactly go easy on our skin. I don’t know about you, but dry flakiness and irritation just doesn’t look all that great on me. To cope, I’m always on the hunt to find new masks that are antioxidant-rich, detoxifying, gentle, and calming.
Here are my top 5 picks for the best face masks for gorgeous springtime skin on the market:
Boscia Cool Blue Calming Mask
This blue peel-off mask is amazing. It’s formulated with deep sea-inhabiting sea whip (aka the world’s most powerful natural anti-inflammatory ingredient), willow herb, aloe vera, and peppermint-derived frescolat to instantly cool, calm, and hydrate your skin. It’s formulated without parabens, sulfates, phthalates.
Fresh Rose Face Mask
This hydrating and toning mask has a cooling gel formula infused with pure rosewater and real rose petals, as well as cucumber extract, green tea, and aloe vera, to naturally soothe the skin and stimulate the senses. Infused with 50 percent pure rosewater and an average of 2.5 roses per jar, the Fresh mask restores radiance and youth to all skin times.
Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Mask
I’m usually sold when I hear “pumpkin” anything, so hopefully this isn’t inclusion too biased. PTR’s Pumpkin Enzyme Mask is a powerful and highly effective exfoliating treatment to address dull, aging, and congested post-winter complexion. The formula is powerful yet gentle and works to exfoliate with pumpkin enzymes, peels with alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), and polishes with aluminum oxide, leaving your skin smoother, younger-looking and more radiant.
Clarisonic Detoxifying Clay Mask
Even if you don’t use the Clarisonic itself, you need to try this Detoxifying Clay Mask. It’s a creamy, non-drying natural mineral/botanical-based treatment mask that works to gently remove impurities from pores to reveal smoother and softer-looking skin. Using fancy pants ingredients like the absorbing power of kaolin and bentonite clays and hydroxy acids, this mask effectively detoxifies, purifies, and refines, and aloe and chamomile help soothe, protect, and soften your skin.
Origins Out of Trouble 10 Minute Mask to Rescue Problem Skin
This mask’s title is accurately indicative of what it does. Formulated with natural troubleshooters, including super-absorbent zinc oxide and sulfur plus calming camphor, this mask responds to problem skin with a three-part plan– sop up oily-shine, slough off sticky, dead cells, and sweep away nasty debris. In a nutshell, it does everything you want it to do when you’re looking to detox, and it’s by far the least expensive at $24 than the rest of the products on my list.
Did I leave any worthy candidates out? How do you rejuvenate your skin during the winter-to-spring transition? Off to eat some strawberries at the Strawberry Festival. Happy Saturday!
I've actually never tried a mask before but my skin has been so dry from winter that I need to try one, thanks for the recommendations.
