7 Face Masks To Suit All Your Skincare Needs

There's nothing quite as relaxing as slathering on a face mask and kicking back with your Netflix show of choice (might I suggest Orange Is the New Black ?). But the face mask options are seemingly endless, and all those choices are enough to give you stress breakouts, which just means more skin issues, and doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of face masks, and, ugh, why is being a person so hard? Breathe. Yes, there are a ton of face masks on the market, but there are some that shine far brighter than the rest. Click through for the seven best, no matter your skincare need.

If your skin is dry...

This is definitely a beauty splurge, but it cures parched skin like nothing else. Unlike most masks, which you wash or peel off after a few minutes, Rilastil’s formula absorbs into your skin. You leave on this baby for about 15 minutes, and your skin drinks it right up. You’ll notice the results right away.

If you have dark spots...

As if acne isn’t enough of a jerk already, it has to go and leave dark spots years after it has already attacked your face. This mask makes you look insane (sort of like you smeared oil all over your face) and brightens up dark spots. Two birds, one stone.

If your skin is breaking out...

Hey, what do you think the best part of summer is? Longer days? Rooftop parties? How about how the sweat and heat makes your skin a hundred times more prone to breakouts? Yeah, it’s probably that. Whether your skin is acne-prone seasonally or year-round, this mask delivers powerful blemish medication to fight the problem below the surface.

If you have sensitive skin...

If your skin is prone to irritation you’ve probably already sworn off face masks. But the Rose Face Mask from Fresh is mild enough for even the most temperamental of skin types. It will brighten, hydrate, and soothe your skin, leaving your face feeling cool and looking refreshed.

If your skin is oily...

This peel-off mask fights oily skin without leaving your face feeling taut or dry. Plus, feeling off a face mask is a bizarrely satisfying experience. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it.

If you're looking for a mask under $15...

Do you really have to spend well into the double digits just for a quality face mask? The Mint Julep Mask proves that no, no you do not. This mask is ideal for clearing up acne and shrinking pores, and is, unfortunately, not the best option for dry skin. Just a warning: This mask is super messy, so be prepared to have your bathroom counter covered in green goop. Don’t worry. It washes off.

If you have no idea what your skin type is and you just want a face mask, dammit...

Sometimes your face is dry, sometimes your face is oily, sometimes your face breaks out — can’t it just pick a side already?! This mask from Bliss is basic enough to suit all your skincare care needs, giving you fresher, brighter looking skin, no matter what mood your face happens to be in that day.

Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask, $45, Amazon
