As beauty editors, our relationship with face masks rival that of some of our oldest friends, since we often look to them to solve our skin care woes and to get us to stop completely stressing out. If you’ve ever felt like a new person after a good face mask, this is the roundup you’re going to want to read.
These 22 face masks are the ones that we can count on to restore bounce to our dry skin, prep us for a full face of makeup, and brighten our complexions (along with our days). A great face mask really can solve at least half of our problems in life, and we need a few in our arsenal, since they all do different things. Our personal favorites include a brigtening golden eye mask, a pearlescent face mask that looks stunning and works beautifully, and a clay mask that draws our all our impurities while still remaining suitable for sensitive skin. Check out our picks for the best gel, sheet, clay, and overnight face masks of all time, ahead.
