Judging by the creativity associated with #masking, it might seem that applying a face mask is more about fun than function. But in fact, masks are some of the most effective ways to sink high levels of moisture into skin—a good thing during this drying time of year. And the next generation of options are more advanced than ever, making it easy to find one tailor-made for your exact needs.
For those with combination skin that can be frustratingly oily and dry at the same time, Philosophy’s When Hope Is Not Enough Gel-Oil Mask balances quenching botanicals (argan, grape seed) and a light, non-greasy texture. Those in need of more intense hydration should look to Korres Greek Yoghurt Advanced Nourishing Sleeping Facial, a rich soufflé-like cream with proteins to strengthen and heal parched skin, or Polatam’s Water Gel Extra Force Moisturizing Sheet Mask, a K-beauty import loaded with hyaluronic acid and brightening oak tree sap. Ultra-sensitive types, meanwhile, will benefit from Julisis Rose Pearl Hydra Mask, formulated with cold-water seaweed and French rose to up skin’s moisture-retention capabilities and soothe redness.
And when those truly cold days come, all complexions will take comfort in Farmacy’s Honey Potion Renewing Antioxidant Hydration Mask—a balm infused with honey (a natural humectant that draws moisture from the air) and a proprietary variant of echinacea that’s teeming with protective phytochemicals. When massaged in, the dense salve transforms into a warming cream that slowly melts into skin—leaving you not only replenished, but also relaxed.
