A targeted treatment face mask is a valuable addition to your skincare arsenal and your weekly facial routine. Applied topically to zones that need some TLC, whether that’s hormonal breakouts or chapped cheeks, they can deliver intensive balancing, nourishing and repairing results – just where you need it most.
A face mask is also a good excuse to pause, whether you multi-task and apply it in the bath whilst you soak, or simply lie back and let it do its work. Simply, face masks are a great, inexpensive way to give yourself, and your face, some self-love this February.
The range of face masks available is wide and varied. To help you find the right treatment for your skin, we’ve shortlisted four of our favourites for a range of skin types, from hydrating sheet masks to detoxing clays and overnight treatments
Behind The Mask: 12 Treatment Face Masks We Rate For All Skin Types
Give your face a topical treat in the form a nourishing and repairing mask.
Tired & Dull
Jet lag, late nights, diet and stress can all leave tell-tale signs that we are feeling less than our best on our skin. A quick pick-me-up face mask can help erase signs of fatigue and dehydration in the skin and restore a healthy glow.
Dry & Sensitive
Sometimes our daily moisturisers just don’t cut it when our skin needs a deep hydration boost. An intense shot of moisture in a soothing, calming formula can be just the quenching hit skin needs to bounce back.
Oily & Breakout-prone
Sometimes we need only use detoxifying and balancing masks on areas of congestion and breakouts, rather than a full-face application. With natural ingredients such as clay and charcoal to draw out impurities, they can help regulate oil production and reduce inflammation.
