Using facial masks is a great way to keep your skin in tip-top shape while addressing any concerns you may have. From simple overnight hydration to fast solutions to emergency skin issues, the right mask can finish your look and even make you look younger.
We’ve listed down five facial masks which are known to give fast results based on reviews and our personal experiences. Find which one suits your lifestyle best!
For gentle exfoliation and hydration
If you’re someone with combination or dry skin, then you’re probably wary of exfoliation especially since it can leave your skin dryer than before. The trick is to find a product that instantly hydrates your face so that you lose deep-seated dirt, but not moisture.

For calming and brightening
Stress, pollution, and other elements tend to get your skin dull and make you look more haggard than you really are. Treat yourself to a DIY spa experience with an all-natural mask that feels good and evens out your complexion.

For skin emergencies that need a quick-fix
It can be annoying to find a red spot on your skin that wasn’t there when you left the house in the morning, especially if you need to look your best for a client presentation or a corporate event. Products with zinc oxide and sulfur can immediately calm sudden spots down and leave your skin matte and oil-free.

For your daily skin indulgence
Rose-based products offer a lot of benefits. Aside from reviving tired skin, rose extract can also help soothe sunburn and even calm skin issues such as rosacea. It’s also perfect for those with sensitive skin due to its gentle nature, so much so that some rose-based masks are safe for daily use.

For your nightly treat
Overnight face masks help with skin repair and keep your face moisturized while you sleep, especially if you live in cooler climes or like leaving your air conditioning on. The right mask can give you supple and well-rested skin the following morning, which can make it easier for you to apply makeup.
