Mask Off

One of my favorite cozy night in activities is a enjoying a good face mask with a glass of wine, my pup on my lap, and something good on the Netflix queue. When I’m choosing a mask I look for two things: hydration and brightening. I am determined to have beautiful glowy skin year-round, and the following masks have contributed to the cause. 

Glossier Moisturizing Moon Mask

This mask is wonderfully soothing and packs mega hydration! It feels very cool and oxygenating on the face and it really sinks in deep rather than resting on the surface. the result of this mask is baby soft skin that feels plump and luxurious! This is my fave during cold months. 

Clinique City Block Purifying Mask

Living in Chicago, I’m aware of the effects of the pollution I’m exposed to  walking downtown everyday. I use this purifying mask every two weeks to pull out all that funk and really get a fresh start. Because my skin is dry, I try not to use this too much because it really dries me out and leaves my skin tight if I use it too much!

Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Mask

This mask smells as good as it feels. It’s ultra-smooth gel texture feels light and soothing on the face. This is a peeling mask that can be worn overnight with very little residue. I’ve also worn for just 30 minutes and then rinsed and had the same results. Glowy, hydrated skin. This mask is much lighter than the Glossier Moon Mask so I prefer it during the warmer and more humid months when the air already has a decent amount of moisture. 

Sephora Unifying & Brightening Mask

This is nice mask for improving texture and evening out my skin tone. Sometimes my phone gets dry patches and I noticed this was helpful for that. This is the least expensive mask on the list ($5!) and the quality is reflected in the price.  

Fresh Rose Mask

I received this mask as a free sample and it’s orobably the one I use the least. It pairs well with my Fresh Rose Cleanser and Youth Restoring moisturizer. I notice if you use  products from a same set together, you get the best result and this is for sure true with the Fresh collection!
