Beauty face masks are a great way to get bouncy, plump skin in 10 minutes. They’re like the first aid of skin care: affordable, easy to find in most stores, and quick to give your skin that extra TLC when it needs it. If you’re exhausted and your skin needs a pick-me-up, or you need something to make your skin look better ASAP, just slap one on and let your skin enjoy the skincare face mask benefits! Even celebrities have been known to put on a beauty face mask to get their skin glowing and red carpet-ready.

Skincare face masks are usually made from breathable materials like cotton or cellulose, or even more premium ingredients like silver foil. The sheets are then soaked in specially-formulated essences and allowed to “sit” on the face for about 20 minutes so that the skin can absorb the essence. The masks are designed to target a host of different skin issues so some of the beauty face mask benefits you can expect to see include reducing redness, treating dryness, lightening dark spots, and reducing clogged pores.

Unlike other skin care products, you don’t need to use this every day, so how do you use a skincare face mask and add it to your regular routine? After doing your usual steps of cleanse, tone, and treat, apply moisturizer as normal then put the skincare face mask on after. This will give a more intense moisturizing effect to your skin and seal in all your skin care layers. You can use skincare face masks both as prep for your skin before applying makeup and as a final skin care layer at night. No need to wash it off after!

There are many kinds of skincare face masks to choose from but knowing what your skin needs is a good guide to picking one. If you need to get your skin glowy and you need that extra oomph, look for ingredients like vitamin B3 or niacinamide, which is an ingredient proven to brighten skin. You can also look into ingredients that repair skin dullness, like Japanese Deep Sea Algae. Algae is rich in phytonutrients and vitamins that create a healthier-looking complexion. Both niacinamide and algae are featured in the Olay Skinfusions Deep Sea Algae Healthy Glow Aura Sheet Mask (P129). I think this would be a great skincare face mask for sensitive skin as it felt very soothing on my skin.

If your skin is feeling dry and stressed, load up on moisturizing ingredients like camellia oil. Camellia oil is a popular ingredient in Japanese beauty because it nourishes skin without making it feel greasy or heavy. This emollient is rich in fatty acids and vitamins that lock in moisture so skin stays hydrated and smooth. Enjoy this with the Olay Skinfusions Camellia Nourishing Sheet Mask (P129), which comes in a pretty sakura pink color. I would definitely recommend this beauty face mask for dry skin!

Did you know that sake has skin care properties? Sake yeast can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It won’t help to drink it but you can mask up with the Olay Skinfusions Sake Yeast Wrinkle Relaxing Sheet Mask (P149). This particular mask variant is made from biocellulose, which is my favorite mask type because it delivers an instant cooling sensation to the skin once applied. It also adheres to the skin really well!

Skincare face masks are a great way to boost your skin care routine. They can give you instantly brighter and more moisturized skin, and give additional focus to your skin concerns. Keep a couple of Olay skincare face mask products in your stash so you always have an instant skin-saver at hand!
