Face masks: sheet, gel and night masks for every skin

A face mask is an intensive treatment applied to the skin for a short time to hydrate, cleanse or nourish it more thoroughly than a daily cream. Here you will find sheet masks, gel masks, purifying masks and night masks, both for regular extra care and for special occasions.

How to choose the right face mask

Start with what you want to give your skin. Hydrating masks suit every skin type and help most when the skin feels dry or tired. Purifying, clay and charcoal masks suit oily and combination skin, and calming masks suit sensitive skin. Night masks are left on overnight, so they double as rich night creams.

• Sheet mask: quick and convenient, used once and soaked with the amount of serum needed for one application.
• Gel mask: cooling and hydrating, suitable for dry and tired skin.
• Purifying mask: helps cleanse pores and balance oily skin.
• Night mask: supports the skin during rest and leaves a soft, fresh complexion by morning.

You get the best result when you cleanse your skin thoroughly before applying a mask – see our facial cleanser range – and follow with your usual face cream afterwards.

Popular brands

The masks include products from Clarins, Filorga and Clinique, as well as L’Occitane, Dior, Dermalogica, Estée Lauder and Vitamasques.

How often should I use a face mask?

Usually once or twice a week, unless the product instructions say otherwise. Sheet masks can also be used less often, for example before an important event.

Do I need to rinse off a face mask?

It depends on the product. Some masks are rinsed off with water, with sheet masks the leftover essence is massaged in, and night masks can stay on the skin overnight. The exact instructions are on each pack.

In what order should I use a mask?

Cleanse the skin, apply the mask, and after taking it off continue with your serum and cream.
