Bubble, Sheet, Peel-Off, or Mud: Which Mask Will You Choose?

There’s no better way to pamper your skin after a long week than a face mask. However, not all masks are created equal. Just like your other skin care products, there's an array of different formulas to target all your most pressing complexion concerns. While some face masks are better suited for oily skin thanks to their absorbent clay and charcoal formulas, others benefit dry skin with a dose of plumping hydration. And it’s all those different formulas and side effects, not to mention textures and price points, that can make choosing the best face mask for your skin type harder than it should be. To help you help your skin, we're breaking down four face mask options for every skin type. Whether you choose a bubble, sheet, peel-off, or clay mask, sit back, relax, and let your at-home facial do all the work while you catch up on your favorite binge-worthy drama.
