6 chilled-out face masks for every skin care concern
Face masks (Oct book)
For unclogging pores
This cleansing mask’s combination of three clays (kaolin, montmorillonite and Moroccan) and eucalyptus help it to draw out impurities to minimize the look of pores and, best of all, stave off the dreaded oily sheen. L’Oréal Pure-Clay Purifying & Mattifying Mask, $20, available at mass retailers and drug stores.
For a dewy glow
This mask is 100 percent vegan and infused with real rose petals, rosehip oil and organic aloe vera. Keep it on hand for those days when you need to fake a nine-hour-sleep glow. The Body Shop British Rose Fresh Plumping Mask, $28.
For targeting fine lines
This hard-working formula is perfect on a day when nothing’s going your way (flat tire, spilled coffee, etc.). Slather it on and watch the tension lines disappear (thanks, banana and lemon thyme!). Clarins Extra-Firming Mask, $65.
For brightening your complexion
This “jam” mask is 50 percent crushed lemons, oranges and clementines. It looks like marmalade (minus the chewy peels), but it leaves behind baby-soft skin that glows. Fresh Vitamin Nectar Vibrancy-Boosting Face Mask, $80, Sephora.
For a boost of hydration
With its combination of mineralizing thermal water, vitamin B3 and glycerin, this mask is like a supersized glass of water for thirsty (read: dry and tight) skin. Vichy Quenching Mineral Mask, $34, available at drugstores.
For a deep clean
When your skin needs a major overhaul, call on this probiotic-powered clay mask (with lactobacillus bacteria) for a serious purge. Tata Harper Purifying Mask, $87, Sephora.
