In this time of Covid, wearing a mask around has become part of our everyday life.
Unfortunately, keeping our faces covered has also triggered some uncomfortable side effects like rashes, dryness, and breakouts — also known as maskne — for some of us.
If you too, have been struggling with skin woes due to all the mask-wearing, consider adding these (other types of) masks to your skincare routine to keep your complexion clear and nourished. Here are five of the best purifying, hydrating and repairing masks that have won our hearts.
Chanel Hydra Beauty Camellia Repair Mask
Formulated with hydrating and nourishing active ingredients derived from camellia japonica and an antioxidant blue ginger extract, Chanel’s multi-tasking mask can be used three ways for different results. Leave on for 10 minutes before rinsing with warm water for a burst of radiance; Skip the rinse and massage the excess for an overall deep hydration; or use it as a ‘spot’ treatment to target specific areas.
Aesop Sublime Replenishing Night Masque
Aesop’s first overnight mask is enriched with vitamin B, C, E and F, so expect anti-oxidant, hydrating and smoothening properties. Suitable for use in all climates and on a range of skin types, it’s particularly beneficial to those with normal to very dry skin; dull, patchy or fatigued skin; or those given to dehydration, such as office workers and frequent travellers.
