The Best Face Masks for Every Skin Situation

This mask is an ideal option for anyone who struggles with dry skin. It’s packed with hyaluronic acid, an ingredient known to add moisture. Just take a mask out of the resealable pouch and leave it on for 10 minutes. You can massage any excess serum into your skin once you peel it off. ($22+/5-pack, Beauty Pie)

After a long day, we like to curl up on the couch with one of these. Unlike most sheet masks, this one has a top half and bottom half, so it’s easier (and less messy) to put on and take off. It’s packed with an anti-sebum complex that helps reduce the look of pores and honey extract for hydration. ($30/5-pack, Loops Beauty)

If you’re looking for a fancier sheet mask, these are worth the splurge. They’re saturated in the brand’s Pitera essence, which is filled with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to plump your skin. One editor uses these religiously for special events, since it’s basically a facial in a packet. ($100/6-pack, Sephora)

This charcoal mask from Lapcos extracts impurities, while tightening and cleansing your pores. We love it for a quick detoxifying option that doesn’t feel harsh or stripping. ($17/5-pack, Free People)

This hydrogel one from 111Skin is made of colloidal gold, peptides, and rose damask for extra radiance and hydration. It’ll plump fine lines, soothe inflammation, and firm your skin. This is another nice option for any upcoming weddings or events, or days when your skin is feeling a little dull. ($32+, 111Skin)

It’s lightweight enough to wear as a moisturizer on its own, but it’s also thick enough to wear overnight as a treatment mask. It’s fragrance-free, and has glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide for hydration and uneven texture. One editor always keeps this on hand for traveling. ($26+, Sephora)

Skimm’rs love Laneige — and this mask is perfect for those new to using it in their skincare routine. It’s made with squalane and a probiotic-derived complex that’ll support your skin’s moisture barrier. So if you have really dry skin, you’ll want to slather this all over. ($32, Sephora)

This bestseller from Golde is a staple on our Instagram feeds and in our medicine cabinets. It’s made of spirulina and chlorella to detoxify, plus marshmallow root extract to hydrate and calm inflammation. It comes in a powder form, so just mix it with a little bit of water to create a paste and apply to your face. ($26, Target)

This instant detox mask from Caudalie is a clay mask that’ll brighten, minimize pores, and help with dullness and texture in just 10 minutes. Anytime we’re contending with a breakout or crave a gentle deep clean, this is the product we turn to. ($22+, Sephora)

With this mask system, you’ll feel like you just got a facial in the comfort of your own home. It starts with an exfoliating mask with alpha hydroxy acids, clay, and colloidal silver to gently resurface your skin and draw out impurities. Then, after leaving it on for up to 20 minutes, you peel it off and apply the calming serum, which has peptides, hyaluronic acid, and snow mushroom. Dullness will be a thing of the past. ($49, Silver Mirror Skincare)

If you’re looking for an exfoliating option but have sensitive skin, this one from Naturopathica is a must. It’s a chemical exfoliant, so it doesn’t have abrasive particles or beads that can irritate your skin. It’s made of pumpkin puree and lactic acid to help with any build up of dead skin. Plus, it has cinnamon bark, oregano, and rosemary extract to keep your skin barrier healthy. ($66, Naturopathica)

Versed’s Doctor’s Visit mask is an affordable essential. It’s made of a lightweight jelly packed with lactic, glycolic, and salicylic acids to brighten and exfoliate. We suggest starting with a patch test before you use it to see how long you’ll want to keep it on for. Some report only needing to keep it on for a minute. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Once we started using this cryo-rubber mask, we never looked back. Regular sheet masks can be hard to put on and dry out quickly, but these rubber masks hold so much product and have a sturdier silicone structure that comes in two pieces, so you get full coverage. This one comes with an ampoule of hyaluronic acid formula that leaves your skin super hydrated. Pro tip: Store it in the fridge for a cooling sensation you’ll fall in love with. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Looking to minimize dullness? Start with vitamin C. This mask from Youth to The People is a rich night cream packed with hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and antioxidants that’ll reduce inflammation. Wear it for a few minutes or keep it on overnight. ($18+, Sephora)

What can’t Clarins do? Filled with white clay, ginger, and so much more, this mask brightens and firms in just about 10 minutes. We love to apply it on mornings when we wake up puffy since it feels extra cooling. ($70, Sephora)

These last a whole year, actually work, and are a great way to reduce waste. They hold gels, serums, and creams close to the skin for absorption, to plump fine lines, and keep the skin hydrated. They come in a compact case to keep them clean and protected. One editor loves keeping these in the fridge. ($25, Dieux)

Consider grace & stella’s gold eye masks as caffeine for your under-eyes. The rejuvenating patches are made with sea moss to reduce the appearance of unwanted fine lines, while the hyaluronic acid and glycerin hydrate. If you’ve been staying up later than usual for work or class, these eye masks are the perfect energy boost. Since they’re individually wrapped, they’re perfect for traveling.

This set comes with six bestsellers from Patchology: Rejuvenating, Illuminating, Restoring Night, Bubbly, Rosé, and Served Chilled On Ice. Depending on what your needs are — from depuffing to brightening — pick a pair and apply. We like to wear these on long WFH days. ($18/6 pairs, Patchology)

These eye patches are not only inspired by your favorite matcha latte, but they're also uniquely cloud-shaped to fit perfectly under your eyes.
