Our Favourite Facial Masks for Dry Skin, Acne & More

Posted by Alexandra C. | Thursday August 8, 201310 comments


I adore face masks and have no shame when it comes to wearing them. I've even gone out in public with a face mask. Brave?

Masks are an essential part of my skin care routine. I notice a huge difference in tone and texture, and for someone with acne prone skin a clay mask is must-have. Blemish management aside, masks also give my skin a glowy boost before a big date or event. 

I've tried quite a few, as you might guess, and here's what I've learned.
 

For Breakouts: If you need a mask to target spots and breakouts, look for betonite or kaolin clay-based products. 


1. Neutrogena Blackhead Eliminating Daily Cleanser Mask (C$13.59)

2. Vichy Normaderm 3 in 1 Cleaner + Scrub + Mask (US$20.00)

3. Garnier Pure 3 in 1 Cleanse + Scrub + Mask (C$11.59)

4. Lush Cupcake Mask (C$6.95)

5. Lush Mask of Magnaminty (C$24.95)
 

For Hydration: Moisturized skin looks younger and refreshed. When your skin needs extra love, reach for one of these. 
 
 
1. Clarins HydraQuench Cream-Mask (C$36.00)

2. Burt's Bees Intense Hydration Treatment Mask (C$29.29)
 
3. No 7 Beautiful Skin Hydration Mask (C$25.00)

4. Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask To Quench Skin's Thirst (C$28.00)

 
To Brighten: Skin looking a little dull? 
 

1. Boscia Luminizing Black Mask (C$41.00) 
 
2. Nars Aqua Gel Mask Luminous Mask (C$45.00)
 
3. Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask (C$65.00)
 
4. StriVectin-SH Dermal Infusion Mask (C$75.00)

5. Glam Glow Tingling & Exfoliating Mud Mask (C$69.00)

 
DIY Options: We talk a lot about DIY beauty over at CA, and we love masks you can concoct with common kitchen ingredients. Here are four of my favourites.

I'm curious to see how a brightening mask would work on my skin. I'd like to try one!

I might have to try one of the moisturizing masks. Also I have been wanting to try a Lush mask, mainly because they look cool haha.

The Rodial Glamoxy Snake Mask & Dragons Blood Hyaluronic Mask are hands down my favorite masks- a close second would have to be the pur minerals clay mask
