For oily skin: Yes To Tomatoes Snapmask Stick
This easy-to-use mask swipes on like a Pritt Stick, coating skin in a creamy blend of natural ingredients that help to clear and balance skin. Oily skin is prone to clogged pores which easily lead to blemishes – this easy-to-use mask swipes on kaolin clay and charcoal work to absorb excess oil and draw impurities out of pores, while salicylic acid deeply exfoliates to prevent blackheads and breakouts.
For acne scars and pigmentation: The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution
This face mask contains a powerful blend of acids that exfoliate skin without the harshness of a scrub. With each use, the dead skin cells in the top layers of your skin are removed, revealing fresh, new, and unscarred skin beneath. Using it once a week will help skin to look clearer, brighter, and more even.
For blemish-prone skin: Mario Badescu Healing & Soothing Mask
When a breakout happens, it can be tempting to go in with hardcore treatments like peels and scrubs, but the key to clearing spots for good is to take a kind-to-skin approach. Gentle but still detoxifying, this creamy mask purges pores of impurities (to prevent future blemishes) while soothing redness and inflammation from existing spots – all without stripping and irritating skin.
For dehydrated skin: Holika Holika Watermelon Sheet Mask
This super hydrating sheet mask is perfect for treating skin that feels tight and parched (it’s an ideal hangover solution). Key ingredients include watermelon and glycerin, which draw moisture into skin and provide intense hydration.
