Winter can be a harsh time for skin, especially with cold, dry wind blowing on your face like it does in Boston. Here are some face masks that when added to your skin routine can brighten up dull skin and restore hydration.

Exfoliating Masks

Exfoliation is very useful in the winter to get rid of the the dead skin cells that are sticking to the face and creating the appearance of extra dryness. The best solution for this is an exfoliating mask that can eat or scrub away the dead skin cells and make your whole face look less flaky.

Sleeping Masks

Sleeping masks are another great way to save both dehydrated skin and time. The face mask is applied the night before, so there isn’t any extra waiting time to let the mask do what it needs to do. Since the mask is on all night long, the skin can fully absorb the benefits and help you wake up with hydrated skin. These masks can be a bit sticky but they can give some of the best results, especially for extremely dry skin.

Hydrating Masks

If sleeping masks don’t seem like your type of thing, than there are some great hydrating masks that you can wash off before bed or use in the morning before your makeup. These formulas help nourish the skin and give long lasting hydration.
