9 Best Skin Masks For Your Skin Type

There’s no single kind of skincare that can provide magical results. We all have different skin types, and it’s difficult to know which one will truly help your specific skin issues, and skin type. That’s why we compiled the ultimate guide on what masks to use to target your specific issue and get your skin glowing ASAP. Whether you’re doing a DIY mask or buying one from the store, consider these face masks, which are faster than facials and bring instant results.

1. Best for dry skin

Ingredients like clay will only dry your skin out further, so instead of looking for detoxification products, focus on hydration and moisturizing ingredients, such as glycerine, hyaluronic acid, and aloe. Right now, rubber masks are trending, since they temporarily seal in the active ingredients to work better on your skin.

2. Bests for tightening and toning

For this skincare goal, you’ll want to look for masks that contain high levels of vitamin C, which is a major helper in fixing up collagen and tightening tone. Additionally, ingredients such as algae can help strengthen (and tighten) skin.

3. Best for lightening and brightening

If you struggle with dull skin types or age spots, you’ll want to focus on exfoliation. While there are lots of chemical exfoliation products, often fruit enzyme ingredients are the simplest and most effective. Fruit enzymes are contained in papaya, so if you can find a papaya based mask, this is a safe bet. Additionally, glycolic acid, lactic acid, and retinol can help brighten your skin.
