One thing everyone can agree on is that face masks are the most fun, exciting part of skincare. They’re what you reach for when your skin needs some extra pampering or you just want to have a feel-good moment of self-care. 

From clay masks to gel masks to sheet masks, there are endless options. Each mask and formula are unique and packed with ingredients to benefit your skin. While certain masks suit all skin types, some are better for treating targeted issues and skin types. No matter your skin type or concerns, there’s a face mask for you on our list.

Best Face Mask for Dry Skin:

• Nuxe Creme Fraiche de Beaute 48HR Moisturizing and Soothing Mask

Dry skin types need all the moisture they can get. Luckily, there’s this Moisture SOS Rescue Mask from Nuxe. Inside are soothing plant milks, hydrating hyaluronic acid, and other moisturizing ingredients like glycerin to provide 48 hours of uninterrupted hydration and moisturization. 

Best Face Mask for Oily, Acne-Prone Skin:

• Peter Thomas Roth Therapeutic Sulfur Acne Treatment Mask

Ideal for oily, acne-prone skin, the Therapeutic Sulfur Musk from Peter Thomas Roth targets acne, blackheads, and excess oil with kaolin and bentonite clays, plus 10% natural sulfur to purify clogged pores. The addition of aloe vera keeps skin soothed. 

Best Face Mask for Sensitive Skin:

• Bioderma Sensibio Mask

Bioderma is a go-to brand for those with sensitive skin, and this face mask is no exception.

• ClarityRx Daily Fruit Antioxidant Moisturizing Mango Mask

This creamy anti-aging mask by ClarityRx is brimming with antioxidants to fight signs of aging, pentapeptides to improve collagen and elastin formation, and emollients (hello, sea buckthorn berry oil and mango butter) to keep mature skin plump and moisturized. 

Best Face Mask for Combination Skin:

• SkinCeuticals Clarifying Clay Masque

For combination skin types that want to target their extra oily spots, a clarifying clay mask is the best way to go. This non-drying clay mask by SkinCeuticals combines detoxifying kaolin and bentonite clays to remove excess oil and unclog pores while a hydroxy acid blend gently exfoliates. And because it doesn’t dry down hard like other clay masks, it won’t overly strip your skin of its natural oils.

Normal skin types have the freedom to use whatever face masks they want. On days when you want your skin to feel balanced and rejuvenated, reach for the Live + Be Well Probiotic Pink Himalayan Salt Mask by ClarityRx. It strengthens the skin’s moisture barrier with hydrating, anti-inflammatory ingredients and maintains a healthy microbiome with natural probiotics. The result? Healthy, hydrated skin.

• PCA Skin Hydrating Mask

When your skin is feeling dull, tight, and itchy, reach for a hydrating mask like this one from PCA Skin. Arnica flower and cucumber calm inflammation, while oat milk provides necessary moisture. The hydration comes from sodium hyaluronate, glycerin, and panthenol, which leave your skin plump and dewy.

Best Overnight Moisturizing Mask:

• PCA Skin Hyaluronic Acid Overnight Mask

Wake up with smooth, moisturized skin with this PCA Skin overnight mask.

Best Anti-Aging Face Mask:

• Jan Marini Age Intervention Retinol Plus Mask

Retinol (the star of this face mask) is the gold-standard ingredient when it comes to anti-aging. If your skincare goals include boosting collagen supplies, smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, and gaining a more youthful complexion, this mask is the place to start. Its non-irritating formula delivers high-performing retinol to leave your complexion radiant and supple.
