Hello my loves! I’m so glad you’re back in my little corner of the internet. Today’s post on my favorite face masks is going to be rather short and sweet, which is rare for me considering how wordy I can get. hehe You may have read THIS post on my cruelty-free skincare routine. Mostly all the products I spoke about all remain a big part of my routine, but I’ve also had the opportunity to try some new non-toxic products since then. In fact, my #shelfie collection has grown quite considerably in the past year!
Between cleansers, toners, serums, masks, and moisturizers there are SO many products I could focus on. But let’s be real… there’s nothing quite like the feeling of a good face mask. Not only are the fun to apply but the downtime while allowing them to dry kind of forces you to just chill. Which we ALL could do more of!
Okay, on to the good stuff. Which face masks do I love? Despite having a huge collection of to choose from, I always find myself going back to the same 4 depending on what I need. Each of them provide unique benefits but all are very effective. And the best part is that they’re all cruelty-free, non-toxic, and filled with good for you ingredients that you can be happy about. Here are my current go-tos in no particular order:
TULA EXFOLIATING TREATMENT MASK
BEST FOR: Gentle Exfoliation and Improving Skin Tone
STAR INGREDIENTS:
- Bentonite clay exfoliates the skin and draws out impurities.
- Lactic acid derived from fruit helps gently exfoliate and fight the look of dull skin.
- Blueberry extract is rich in antioxidants and hydrates and promotes even skin tone.
- Turmeric root is a powerful natural ingredient that helps reduce signs of inflammation.
- Probiotics create a barrier to lock in moisture.
WHEN TO USE: I usually use it once a week whenever my skin is looking a bit congested and/or looks a bit dull
WHY I LOVE IT: I love how gentle it is! The exfoliation feels great and the mask itself doesn’t feel super tight or strip away moisture.
