What better way to deal with finals than with face masks? They’re generally not that time consuming, fun to do, and leave you and your skin feeling happy and healthy. Here are fifteen face masks that we think will put a smile on your face during these rough weeks:
1. Sugar Kitten Mask ($23)
Memebox has produced a mask that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also photo-friendly. The Sugar Kitten Mask is a ~*holographic*~ mask, infused with real ruby and pearl powder as well as rose water and hyaluronic acid. Ideal for those suffering from dry skin, it will leave your face feeling revitalized and looking dewy.
2. Tea Tree Face Mask ($17)
The Body Shop’s Tea Tree Face Mask will offer your face a deep cleanse that will leave you refreshed. This cooling mask will take away the impurities (like blackheads) and absorb excess oil that are plaguing your face. It contains tea tree oil, lemon tea tree, tamanu oil, as well as menthol.
3. Rose Hips Mask ($20)
If you’re looking for a mask that will make your face radiant, look no further than Mario Badescu’s Rose Hips Mask. Made out of rosehip oil, lemongrass extract, and rose hips extract, it helps brighten dull skin, diminishes fine lines, and decreases minor discoloration.
4. Wake Up Beautiful Mask ($15)
This creamy overnight mask from Pacifica will rehydrate your thirsty, stressed, and sun-damaged skin. It’s a no-rinse, non-greasy, and non-sticky that is perfect for dry and combination skin types. Because it’s an overnight mask, it won’t take away from the time that you need to type up your final paper.
5. Wash Off Black Sugar Mask ($10)
Skinfood’s Wash Off Black Sugar Mask is made with black sugar sourced from Brazil. This natural exfoliant is rich with vitamins and nutrients, which will do wonders for your finals week skin. The Black Sugar Mask will also brighten up your complexion by unclogging your pores and removing dead skin cells.
6. Hydrating Bubble Mask ($14)
This Hydrating Bubble Mask from e.l.f. cosmetics is a fun, fizzy, and bubbling mask. Not only does it offer a fun way to chill out from rigorous hours of studying (that is totally Snapchat or Insta story friendly) but it also hydrates and restores your skin. And to top it all off- it’s vegan and cruelty-free.
