Whether you need to strip, cleanse, hydrate or tighten, face masks are becoming more and more popular and integrated into weekly beauty regimens. From clay to peel-off masks, here are my top picks!

Charcoal (blemishes, acne, troubled skin) 

If you have blemish or acne-ridden skin, or need a deep pore cleanse, opt for a charcoal based cleanser and face mask!

Yes to Tomatoes Clear Skin Activated Charcoal Mud Mask

Paraben free , cruelty-free and natural, this activated charcoal mud mask helps to treat acne to keep skin clear and blemish-free. While it doesn’t smell as amazing as fruity or floral masks, if applied 1-2x per week, it works really well to clear up problem skin.

When toxins, dirt and debris get under your skin, pores get clogged and skin begins to look dull, spotty and tired. Activated charcoal acts like a magnet to draw out dirt from your pores while white china clay absorbs environmental toxins.

Face masks often take time to work and perhaps you don’t have an extra half hour to spend on your beauty routine. Not to worry! These overnight sleeping masks can be applied right before bedtime and soak in overnight, so you’ll reap all the benefits without wasting any time.

This intense moisture replacement mask with avocado and apricot kernel oil deeply and instantly quenches dry or damaged skin to leave it hydrated and glowing. Japanese seaweed repairs skin’s barrier to prevent future dehydration and signs of premature aging.

Peel-Off 

Peel off masks are usually stripping and clarifying masks, removing built-up toxins from your skin in a way different than clay masks. They often make you feel like you’re peeling off that layer of grit and grime, leaving your skin with a bare, clean base. While wash-off masks and peel-off masks are both beneficial (I wouldn’t say one is “better” than the other), they have different focuses and effects on your skin.

Freeman Feeling Beautiful Revealing Peel-Off Mask Pomegranate 

Immerse skin in super nutrients found only in nature!  This Pomegranate-infused mask helps gently purge dirt and excess oils from skin for a cleaner, refined surface.  An 8-antioxidant blend of Acai, Goji, Mango, Mangosteen, Cranberry, Noni, Pomegranate and Blueberry help guard against free radicals and environmental stress.  Perfect for all skin types.
