I long for days when I can just curl up with a book, a cup of tea and a soothing face mask. There’s something about the calmness you feel while it’s on and of course the great skin after that doesn’t hurt either. In fact, I have a friend who was totally grossed out by sheet masks when she first tried them and today, it’s the only thing that de-stresses her after a long day at work.
While their soothing properties are a definite plus point, there are hundreds of variations available to solve all kinds of skin issues.
I can admit to have tried a handful or three, but these are the five I keep coming back to:
The Face Shop The Solution Pore Care Face Mask
Texture is key when it comes to applying makeup and open, big pores are always a no-no. The Face Shop has a mask for every kind of skin problem, but their pore care mask has got to be my favourite!
Pro Tip: Use a mask a day and see the results at the end of the week. You’ll be surprised!
GlamGlow FLASHMUD
These masks were created to give you instantly photogenic skin and they stick to their word. Any day my face feels dull, I reach for FLASHMUD for a great glow and even brighter skin.
Zar Skin Essentials Neem & Tea Tree Sheet Mask
I’m all for k-beauty. Sheet masks are totally my jam and this one from Zar Skin Essentials aims to purify acne prone and oily skin – something a lot of us in India can relate to!
The Body Shop Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Mask
A mud mask does the job for various skin issues. Be it your pores, dull skin or just basic exfoliation, a charcoal mask has the properties to take care of it all!
Innisfree Real Rose Mask
If there was ever a mask that could make you feel like you were in a luxury spa, it would be this one from Innisfree. The soothing properties of roses mixed with the scent makes this one simply irresistible.
All these face masks are now available on Nykaa.com and at a Sephora near you!
