The Exact Face Mask You Need, Based on Your Skin Type
September 19, 2017
Bad skin days are the worst, and no one is immune (except maybe for Bella Hadid). Mind you, a bad skin day is different depending on your type—it might be breakouts, flaky spots, dullness, or under-eye circles the size of half-moons. The one common ground, however, is that no one wants to wake up and feel less than average when they look in the mirror, beauty editors included.
When our normal skincare arsenals aren’t cutting the mustard, we call in the big guns, or in other words, a face mask. They’re the quickest way to stop skin-freak-outs dead in their tracks. A quick investigation revealed our office is home to many different skin types and just as many can’t-live-without-it face masks. And since we’re all about sharing our most valued product recommendations, we’ve compiled this list of life-changing masks that the Byrdie Australia women rely on to save us when our complexion looks, well, bad.
