19 Best Face Masks for Every Skin Type (Yup, Even Yours)
Trust: These are worth your cash.
Listen, face masks are trendy, but they're not exactly a necessary step in your skincare routine. Yes, it's true that most face masks are made with a high concentration of good-for-you ingredients (like vitamin C and hyaluronic acid) to help you achieve your skin goals—but they're not going to majorly transform your face (only Botox and consistent retinol and sunscreen can do that). "Ideally, face masks should be used once or twice a week as a complement to a well-rounded skincare routine," explains dermatologist Alexis Stephens, DO. Basically, face masks are a nice-to-have extra that can enhance your existing skincare—and, obvs, they can just be plain fun to use.
So, if any of those things sound appealing to you, go ahead and check out these 19 best face masks. I hit up the experts (big thanks to Dr. Stephens, dermatologist Arash Akhavan, MD, and licensed estheticians Alli Davis and Elizabeth Grace Hand) to find the best ones for every skin type, including dry, sensitive, oily, acne-prone, and more.
