Is it awful that I often judge a brand by its masks? For as long as I can remember, a face mask has been my gateway into most brands. I am a huge groupie of this category, and it is the one I enjoy testing most. The results come faster and feel more gratifying, especially when my skin is congested, dehydrated, dull, or just plain tired. I still test each one as directed and check whether the results last past the next morning.
This is where I review all of it: clay, cream, gel, and overnight masks.
Congested pores? Start with the best clay masks for pores and blackheads.
Skin looking wiped out? Here are the best face masks for tired skin.
