The Best Face Masks For Every Skin Concern
Best For Dry Skin
Jet Lag Mask, £49 | Summer Fridays
Nourishing hyaluronic acid and skin-soothing niacinamide are a match made in heaven for skin that’s in need of a refresh. This creamy mask plumps, soothes and softens dry skin at speed – which explains why one of these is sold every two minutes. With insiders, celebrities and influencers still buying it religiously, it’s made the jump from viral to cult. What makes it so beloved is its versatility. It can be used as a face mask, moisturiser, eye cream and just about everything in between.

Best For Clogged Pores & Oiliness
Super Pore Detox Purifying Black Clay Face Mask, £35 | Beauty Pie
Dubbed ‘a facial in a tube’, black clay masks are pore-refining heroes. This one from Beauty Pie is among the best if your skin is feeling congested or oily. A formula of glycolic, salicylic and lactic acids, as well as kaolin clay, is designed to draw out impurities and leave the skin feeling fresher and cleaner. Plus, liquorice and eucalyptus boast antiseptic and soothing properties, which is great if your skin also feels reactive or inflamed. You’ll notice an instantly cooling effect on application – just wait until the mask dries, then wash it off after ten minutes for best results.

Best For Immediate Hydration
Skinesis 3D Moisture Infusion Mask, £50 | Sarah Chapman
The Rolls-Royce of sheet masks, Sarah Chapman’s Moisture Infusion Masks harness bio-cellulose technology to infuse the skin with intense hydration. The result? Fine lines are plumped and skin is left with a youthful, lit-from-within glow. No wonder Victoria Beckham’s a fan.

Best For Improving Tone & Texture
Bouncy & Firm Sleeping Mask, £32 | Laneige
Like a drink for thirsty, parched skin, this silky mask from Laneige absorbs fast and quickly alleviates feelings of tightness. Soaking up and softening dryness, it leaves your skin feeling supple and smooth, providing a great base for any make-up. The name suggests it’s best to use at night, but we love applying it in the morning as it’s so refreshing. It’s also ideal for sealing in the benefits of your serum. Leave it on or wash it off – either way, you’ll reap the benefits.

Best For Affordability & Glow
Bright Lift Mask, £9.99 | KIKO Milano
Collagen, clay and zinc combine in this brightening, plumping formula which lifts skin’s tone immediately. A thin layer is all you need. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes at a time and, once you’ve rinsed it away, you’ll see your complexion emerges smooth and dewy. It’s suitable for all skin types, but works particularly well for oily and combination types.

Best For Depuffing
Cryo De-Puffing Facial Mask, £95 | 111Skin
They’re expensive, but 111SKIN’s Depuffing Masks are hard to beat. Quite wet, any excess sinks in with a bit of light massage. Your complexion will emerge brighter, tighter and more hydrated, which is what makes these sheets so ideal for flights, before big events and when you need to hit refresh. Brilliant at reducing inflammation and redness, they feel so relaxing thanks to the cooling cellulose material – drape it over your skin, kick back and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.

Best For Gentle Exfoliation
Tired Faace Face Mask, £27 | _Faace
Made using lactic acid and natural vitamin A, this mask gently lifts dead skin and debris while pumping it full of moisture, thanks to nourishing ingredients like rosehip oil and caffeine. It works nicely as a glowy primer under make-up or on days when skin needs a speedy pick-me-up. Gentle enough for all, it works well on sensitive skin.

Best For Brightening Dullness
Black Rose Cream Mask, £140 | Sisley Paris
Few products deserve the ‘iconic’ epithet. This one does. Not only can it instantly brighten dull, lacklustre-looking skin, it has a pink tone and soft, whipped texture that plumps and hydrates skin at speed. Ideal pre-event, post-flight or any time your skin needs a quick fix, it applies imperceptibly, absorbing fast with zero grease left behind. We like to leave a layer on overnight to wake up to a perky, fresh glow.
