Sharing my favorite face masks that I’m using right now. I understand skin care can be quite personal, but these work for all skin types.
My take: I use this mask after night shifts and for jet lag. Perfect also if you stayed up way too late one night.
Here’s what they say: This uber-dewy, hydrating mask soothes thirsty, stressed-out skin by steeping cells in a nourishing mix of vitamins, ceramides, antioxidants, and gently exfoliating extracts. Skin looks instantly renewed, radiant, and ready for anything.
My take – this clay mask I use one to two times a week. It helps reduce the size of pores and balances my complexion. My skin feels softer and smoother after this.
Here’s what Fresh says – Fresh Umbrian Clay Purifying Mask is a multi-functional treatment for normal to oily skin. Umbrian Clay has been used since the ancient Etruscans for its benefits. This instant purifying mask can also be used as a daily deep cleanser or to minimize small imperfections. It is proven to significantly reduce the appearance of pores and mattify the skin without drying out the complexion. Umbrian Clay, Fresh’s proprietary ingredient, has a high mineral content that works to help balance, purify, and clarify the complexion. Sandalwood oil is known for its astringent properties and helps to calm the skin. Chamomile flower and lavender water are notable for their soothing properties.
Charlotte Tilbury Goddess Skin Clay Mask
My take – I received a sample of this mask and I just wanted to rub it all over me! This mask has clay and almond oil. It made my skin feel so hydrated and happy after I was done – yes, an oxymoron for most clay masks. I am going to get a regular bottle of it.
Here’s what they say: This supercharged Goddess Skin Clay Mask is based on an ancient Mediterranean beauty recipe, which combines gentle yet nutrient-rich Spanish clay with Sweet Almond Oil, prized for its nourishing properties.

BioNymph Peptide Complex boosts collagen production and improves elasticity. Essential oils create a smooth, hydrating formula that never feels chalky or dry.
