I have oily skin, so the thought of rubbing in residual serum that makes my face feel sticky is a huge turn-off especially when peak Indian summers and humidity are knocking at my door already. But I cannot go a week without applying face masks. I mean, where else will my skin find a hard, refreshing slap of hydration in 15-20 mins?
In my quest to find face masks that are good for Indian summers and my skin type, I have come across a handful of gems and like a good beauty sis, I don’t gatekeep. Here are the 5 best face masks that work like magic with no chip-chip at all.
A Fresh Start
I usually wake up grumpy and the solution is either a shot of espresso or…this Deep Moisturising Cucumber Sheet Mask by POPxo. And unlike that cup of espresso that I need to wake up and whip, this one’s easier and more healthy, TBH. The cucumber and hyaluronic acid hydrate while niacinamide and lemon brighten the skin. It also soothes puffiness – so bye bye eye bags!
Get Set Glowing
The Wishful Yo Glow Tropical Fruits Enzyme Scrub offers visible effects instantly but they last long-term. This hero product works three ways – as an enzyme, acid, and for physical exfoliation. BTW, the fruity fragrance of this is a great way to start the day. It buffs away dead skin cells and reveals the glow!
With Love, Aloe
While most people use it in their AM skincare routine, I prefer using the LoveChild by Masaba’s ‘Like A Fresh Start’ mask only at night before I hit the sack. Because while I rest and my skin cells rejuvenate, this sheet mask provides a major boost of hydration that works wonders in zapping any lss-stubborn zits as well!
Bye-Bye Tan
Do you also come back home at least 2 shades darker everytime you set foot outside in this weather? Well, then this De-Tan mask by House Of Beauty can be your saviour. With ingredients like fuller’s earth, kaolin clay, alpha arbutin and licorice in the list, this face mask not only helps in tan removal at home but also provides hydration and even-toned skin sans pigmentation and dark spots.
Radiance That Is Blinding
This one should be a staple in every girl’s beauty routine! Meant to target dull skin and enhance your natural texture, this face mask infused with Salicylic acid and squalane is a catch. Gentle exfoliation? Check. Brightening? Check. Deep cleansing? Double check, thanks to the charcoal and clay contained in this face mask. P.S. leave it on no longer than 10-15 mins and do not use it on inflamed or sensitive skin.
Face masks are like good skin in a bottle. So…which mask to glowing skin are you gonna pick today?
