A Face Mask For Everything + A GIVEAWAY [CLOSED]
*Affiliate links and PR samples used. Full disclaimer details here.
I’ve reached that point where I have a face mask for everything – breakouts, dryness, dehydration, flakiness, overall dullness – you name it, I got a mask for you. Since I’m constantly testing new beauty products, these are my current go-to’s for all of my skin woes I’m battling at any given time.
My Mask Collection
The ones for breakouts and oily skin
Freeman Avocado and Oatmeal Clay Mask, $4-5 | This budget buy has been a staple in my collection since my college days. It gets the job done without totally obliterating my skin of any natural moisture. The clay is creamy, easier to rinse off than other clay masks and works to gently dry out a breakout or alleviate excessive oiliness.
Natura Bisse Stabilizing Cleansing Mask, $54 | THE MUST HAVE FOR ACNE PRONE SKIN! This is a lifesaver and one I will not be without now that I know its power. A little goes a long way and the tube is huge, so don’t fret about the price. This is a potent blend of ingredients to fight your breakouts and blackheads without any mercy whatsoever. Use for just 5-15 minutes (no longer) one or two nights in a row and you’ll be hooked.
Clinique City Block Purifying Charcoal Clay Mask and Scrub*, $28 | A perfect two in one – this mask is charcoal based and works in as little as five minutes (it’s quick drying). Once it dries, while you’re rinsing it off, it has little micro exfoliators to scrub away your dead skin leaving behind a glowing, detoxified complexion.
The ones for dryness and flaky skin
Skinceuticals Hydrating B5 Intensely-Hydrating Masque, $38-54 | This one is tricky to use. Hyaluronic Acid by nature can be a bit sticky and since this formula has such a high concentration of it, it can be a nuisance. You can apply a thin layer and sleep with it on (but I found it to be too sticky to sleep with). I prefer to apply a thicker layer of it and leave it on for as long as possible (typically a Friday night in or wake up on a Saturday and let this do its magic while I eat breakfast and slowly get ready). It’s one of my dry-skinned husband’s favorite products.
Sisley Black Rose Cream Mask*, $162 | The fairest priciest of them all! I received this as a gift, and not sure I would have ever given it a second glance had I not been gifted it. However, what it does to your skin (if you’re dry) is magic. It gives baby soft skin to the scaliest of faces. I save this for post-sun, post-airplane travel and especially post Retin-A usage.
The ones for overall dullness and dehydration
First Aid Beauty 5-in-1 Bouncy Mask, $38 | Such an underrated gem! This mask gives me the closest results to a real life facial at home. The jelly bouncy texture is cooling on the skin and promises to be a multi-tasking wizard at improving dullness, reducing pore size and improving skin plumpness instantly. Very refreshing yet calming to the skin.
PUR Blue Agave Mask*, $26 | The most FUN mask to wear because of its peel-off nature, the PUR Blue Agave mask is the most soothing/cooling on the skin of the bunch. Green Tea, Ginseng and Vitamin B ‘energize’ the skin with this mask. Revives tired looking skin. A perfect pick me up mid-week.

I like ahava mud masks bc they are from the Dead Sea
I love the oatmeal and clay mask! So cheap at ulta and actually works! I’ve always wanted to try the FAB mask because I love the under eye cream they make. So I’ll definitely be trying to purchase that. A mask I’ve found recently that I’m obsessed with is shea moisture black clay mud mask. It does WONDERS when you have a small break out!
Yes! It lasts years too LOL. A friend of mine told me to try Shea’s masks… will add this to my list 😉
I like the freeman purifying face mask because it makes your skin feel so smooth and look glory!
YAY! That’s one I have never tried. Thanks! 🙂
I have a Rodial GLAMOXY snake mask with French clay & licorice (for deep cleaning & freezing wrinkles) that I love…
A friend of mine just told me how much she loves a few things from Rodial! Never tried anything but now I will add this to my ever growing list haha.
i love It’s Skin masks from urban outfitters. the packaging is too cute
Never heard of that brand! BUT i just looked it up and i’m ALL FOR sheet masks, plus the price point looks awesome.
I was unaware that there was actually a highlighter to be used for those of us with oily skin & I’m super excited to read about it!!
SO many favorites! Love May Lindstrom’s the Problem Solver + the classic Aztec Healing Clay mixed with apple cider vinegar, a few drops of tea tree oil + a bit of manuka honey.
Ohhh those two sound awesome! i had a sample of the May Lindstrom (amazing.) but can you believe I’ve never tried the famous Aztec Healing Clay!? I know, what sort of a beauty blogger am I?! lol.
I want to try the PUR Cosmetics face mask.
I really like the Lush face masks (:
They always break me out! I had to stick to just bath bombs from lush 🙁 So sad.
I was given a GlamGlow charcoal mask and I just loved it! Thanks for the chance!
Brenda Haines aka coupcrazy
Yes! GlamGlow do some incredible masks. A little goes a long way. And I love that they make the mini sizes because those last forever, too.
I really love my charcoal and mint julep masks!
I have a lavender face mask that is so calming
My favorite sheet mask is the Un-Wrinkle 24k Gold Intense Wrinkle Sheet Mask by Peter Thomas Roth! It really enhanced the glow of my skin & my skin felt so much more hydrated after! 🙂 xo you’re gorgeous
Thank you!! My friend loves that mask. She said it was a little pricey, but loved how glowing she looked. 🙂 Good pick!
I like the freeman avacado and oatmeal mask since its pretty affordable. It works for me.
Yep! Such a staple. I used to like their cucumber peel off mask, too. just haven’t seen it around in awhile.
Definitely have to say all GlamGlow mask are my fave. I did try a golden collagen mask before and absolutely loved it, but I can’t for the life of me remember the brand name.
OHHH YES – totally forgot GlamGlow. I swore by the ThirstyMud during wedding planning. I haven’t purchased it in forever, but definitely an incredible brand for masks. Maybe the gold mask was by Peter Thomas Roth? Someone else mentioned it in these comments, too haha.
My favorite mask of the moment is the Garnier Moisture Bomb sheet masks! I am obsessed with that entire line (and its affordability). I have parched skin pretty much year round and using these products, especially the masks, keeps me looking beautiful!
I have oily skin and love a green clay powder mask. It seems to make my skin softer and definitely stops the shine for a few hours.
And I’m entering because I want to try all of these and that eye pallet is truly my favorite eye shadow colors.
I love my clay masks
Right now I am loving these ones my sister got me in Japan. You put them on and it looks like an actual mask. I always giggle.
OH yes! Sheet masks! They’re a must have for me. So good for your skin. I may do a post on my favorites in that category, too 🙂
I have the same issue with break outs and dryness. I’m always on the look out for a better more natural product!
It’s SO delightful, right? Haha. What a combination. I say stay tuned for my sheet mask post. I think those masks have truly helped calm my skin down the most (thus alleviating the dryness – if not eradicating it – and therefore allowing my skin to just chill out a bit. Sometimes, if my skin is too flaky, it causes it to break out because the dry flakes are clogging my pores. Stay tuned 🙂
Love a good red clay mask; has a bit of scrub to it and leaves my facial skin sooooo soft.
I work with chemicals so my fav is the charcoal clay mask. It really does a great job of brightening up my skin and getting all that nastiness out
I like the gold collagen mask st Walmart. It feels good and is a jelly like mask instead of paper.
i dont have a favorite face mask, i havent found one i like yet
I love charcoal masks.
It works well and is affordable
I dont have a favorite yet
the glamglow mask is my fave because it makes my skin look and feel soooo good!
I love glamglo charcoal mak. It leaves my face feeling right and soft
I like the lavendar. Mask. My fave scent
I would love to try the eye palette because my eyes look tired and this would help! My email is traciemcooper0515@gmail.com
My favorite face mask is a cucumber peel mask. I do it about once or twice a week. It’s more for hydration. Thanks for the chance!
Right now I don’t have a face mask but am looking to start on one.
My favorite mask is a charcoal mask. I feel like it really helps pull dirt from pores and absorbs impurities.
I love GlamGlow they are wonderful this prize package is awesome
I don’t really have a favorite Mask, I like trying new ones all the time.
I love a good clay or charcoal mask to really purify my skin
Would love to try the Blue Agave Mask, it looks wonderful! Thank you!
I like the SK-II Facial masks.
I would like the PUR Blue Agave Mask because it’s soothing.
I don’t really have a have because I have not used one in years.
I have been really liking mary kay’s new charcoal mask, it is refreshing and calming yet it tightens and clears pores
I need to take better care of my skin I am over 40 and there are wrinkles
I use a kind from Avon.
I haven’t used a face mask in years, I unfortunately don’t currently have a favorite, but I want a new favorite 🙂
I like lavender face mask it’s really relaxing
I would LOVE to try First Aid Beauty 5-in-1 Bouncy Mask! My skin could use the boost….a bit dull and dehydrated right now. Thanks for the chance to win 🙂
