We love a masking moment. Whether you take the time to mask on the daily or save masking for special occasions, a face mask is always a chance to slow down and to treat your skin to intentional care. Our experts agree that masking isn’t simply a lovely luxury. Rather, it’s a very real chance to infuse skin with extra results-driven goodness. But which mask is going to give your complexion what it craves? Whether you’re looking to hydrate, detoxify, resurface, or nourish, different masks bring different benefits. Let’s find the right mask for your skin.

Clay Masks

Exfoliating Masks & Peels

What it is: Best for gently resurfacing and brightening dry, flaky skin. Exfoliating masks slough off dull, dead skin and purge dirt trapped deep within pores. With gentle exfoliation and natural skin-brightening properties, these masks help keep the surface of the skin looking and feeling fresh.

Our Recommendation: Brightening Dual-Phase Peel. This two-part treatment + peel is formulated to smooth and illuminate the complexion.

Use at night, once per week.

From hydrogel patches infused with serum to liquid formulations like creams or gels, eye masks are packed with potent treatments for under-eye skin. They’re designed to address various concerns—hydration, de-puffing, smoothing of lines & wrinkles, brightening, firming—and bring visible, instant results.
