11 Face Masks That Actually Improve Your Skin

"I love to wind down for the night with a cold, hydrating sheet mask on my face. Currently, I have a bunch of these in my fridge because they always make my face look plump and glowy after one use." — Marina Liao, senior fashion news editor, TZR

"It doesn't get better than this 111 Skin sheet mask, part of their larger Black Diamond line. No matter how indulgent I was the night before, this mask the next day — especially paired with an ice roller — always brings my puffy, tired-looking skin back to normal." —Amanda Ross, beauty editor, TZR

"I will forever love the feeling of a detoxifying, clarifying mask. The downside is they can often dry out your skin, leaving it feeling tight and itchy. This soothing mask from Mara has the opposite effect in that my face still feels refreshed while remaining hydrated and glowy." —Angela Melero, executive editor, TZR

“This mask looks like jelly, but it's much better used on your skin. With a blend of pomegranate enzymes, willow bark extract, and pink clay, it detoxes pores, brightens, and softens the skin — my face always looks clear and radiant when I rinse it off.”—Erin Lukas, deputy beauty editor, TZR

"This may not technically be a mask but I use it as such, overnight. If your skin can't tolerate retinol, no matter how little or often you use it, then this is a fantastic entry point into the ingredient. Plus it gives you next-level glow." —Kathy Lee, editor-in-chief, TZR

“Joanna Vargas' sheet masks give me a glow like no other. I'll slap one on at night, and my skin looks so radiant and smooth the following day.”— Kelsey Stewart, associate editor, TZR

"This clay mask is unique because it contains lactic acid which lightly exfoliates and volcanic clusters that are packed with minerals to help control oil and minimize pores. It's great for days when my T-zone is just a bit too shiny and needs extra attention." — Jessica Fields, beauty writer, TZR

"Kiehls’ Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Mask is the ultimate skin reset. After using it, my skin feels soft and my pores appear minimized. When my skin needs a real detox after long days of wearing makeup, I reach for this product."— Maggie Haddad, sr. social media strategists, TZR

“I've never been big on face masks, but I recently discovered this one, and it's entirely changed my mind. After applying it for 15 minutes, my skin has a beautiful, bright glow that lasts and I always get so many compliments!”— Rebecca Iloulian, director, newsletter revenue & marketing, BDG

“I've been meticulously adjusting my routine in the wake of a bad breakout and brought this exfoliating mask back into the mix. Happy to report it still hits! My skin feels soft, looks radiant, and I haven't experienced any new breakouts."— Samantha Scott, newsletter editor & strategist, TZR
