No problem cannot be solved without a face mask. Okay, it may not be the solution to absolutely everything, but when you’re feeling rundown, overwhelmed and like you just need to chill TF out for a little bit, a self-care night watching your favourite comfort show while donning a sheet mask is the perfect remedy.
Not all face masks are created equal. While some serve the purpose of hydrating your skin, others target blemishes, redness, dullness or acne. And on a truly shithouse day, you want something that’s going to do more than make your face smell nice. You want to bring out the big guns, the ones that ACTUALLY make a difference.
From K-Beauty sheet masks to beloved pot masks or purifying clay masks, there are a bunch of different products out there for every skin woe (and every mood).
We’ve rounded up those 10/10 masks that hide a multitude of sins (partying, crying, eating shit food) for you, depending on what your skin needs.
15 Of The Best Face Masks Fit For A Self-Care Night
Skin Control Glass Skin Tea Tree & Cica Facial Mask
As an acne-prone gal, I’ve come to expect that any face mask that claims to clear your skin is a load of crap — nothing can make your pimples magically vanish. But damn, Skin Control’s Glass Skin Tea Tree & Cica Mask is pretty good at reducing them. It goes on green and turns clear once your skin has absorbed all its juices, so you know when it’s okay to take off.
It works best if it’s left on overnight, but I kept it on for four hours and the next day my skin was noticeably calmer and my pimples looked less angry. It also had a gorgy glow!
Best for: acne-prone, angry skin.

Eaoron Honey Mask With Propolis (Pack of 8)
Containing lactic acid and ceramide, this sheet mask from Eaoron helps to reduce the appearance of pores and pigmentation. It’s also contains honey, but don’t worry, your face won’t be sticky afterwards. Instead, it’ll be hydrated, nourished and most definitely glowy.
Best for: all skin types.

Cosrx Advanced Snail Mucin Power Face Sheet Mask (Pack Of 10)
You know how everyone is absolutely obsessed with Cosrx’s Snail Mucin (don’t knock it ’til you try it, it’s done wonders for my skin)? This is the sheet mask version of the serum. It’s a gem when it comes to strengthening and repairing the skin barrier, as snail mucin is known for its nourishing properties.
Best for: dry skin.

Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Face Mask
The First Care Activating Face Mask from Sulwhasoo’s main ingredient is Ginseng, which is known for brightening dull skin. If you’re feeling a little drab and need a pick me up, this mask helps give you a refreshing boost. That, and plenty of ice cream.

Fenty Skin Cookies N Clean Whipped Clay Pore Detox Face Mask
While most clay masks dry up on your face, making you look like a cracked ceramic, Fenty Skin’s Cookies N Clean Whipped Clay Pore Detox Face Mask doesn’t dry down uncomfortably. It transforms from white to grey (hence the cookies n cream name), like a fun little science experiment for your face. It also contains salicylic acid and charcoal to help clarify your skin.
Best for: acne-prone, oily and combination skin.

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Anti-Acne Purifying Mask
Clay is a popular ingredient in face masks that target breakouts because of its detoxifying properties. The La Roche-Posay Effaclar Anti-Acne Purifying Mask uses Kaolin Clay and Glycering to help regulate sebum production and excess oil, so it’s great for the folk who find themselves getting excessively shiny throughout the day.
Best for: combination and oily skin.

Beauty Of Joseon Ground Rice and Honey Glow Mask
Believe it or not, but rice is a hydrating ingredient that does wonders for dry skin and damaged skin barriers. Combine that with honey, and you get the Beauty Of Joseon Ground Rice and Honey Glow Mask. It’s a bit of an all rounder: a gentle exfoliator, moisture-boost and brightener.
Best for: all skin types.

Skin Control Glass Skin Glazing Mask

Best for: all skin types.

I’m From Honey Mask
I kinda wanna gatekeep this one, but I won’t. I’m From’s Honey Mask has been my go-to for when I’m having a self-care day for the past couple years. It smells great, gives my skin a gorgeous glow, and makes me feel a little more fresh. Just don’t over apply it, because it’s not very pleasant when it drips into your mouth.
Best for: sensitive skin.

Go-To Transformazing Sheet Mask 6 Pack
Don’t have hours but still want a little pick-me-up? The Go-To Transformazing Mask is a quick 10 minute sheet mask that plumps skin and adds a little radiance boost. It’s a great one to pop on when you’re prepping your skin before makeup.
Best for: all skin types.

Conserving Beauty Thirsty Face Dissolving Sheet Mask 5 Pack
A face mask that dissolves in water?! It sounds like sorcery, but Conserving Beauty has done it. Once you’re done with your pamper sesh, run water over the sheet mask and it’ll vanish before your eyes. It’s a brilliant sustainable option. I will say, the texture is different to other sheet masks I’ve tried, but it’s not bad! It feels a tad oily rather than wet, but it didn’t make me break out.
Best for: dry skin.

Enjoy your self-care night, bestie! And remember to take it easy.
