8 deep-cleansing masks to help you fight maskne

Not all deep cleansing wash-off masks are made to dry out your skin and leave it more irritated than before. This clarifying yet nourishing formula promises to zap out impurities while replenishing your skin with the hydration that it needs with the help of key ingredients including rose geranium, primrose seed and sage leaf. Trust us, your skin will thank you for this.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could wake up to soft, bump-free skin every day? With this acne-fighting mask — which you can use as an overnight mask to give your skin a thorough detox — you might find yourself closer to stress-free skin days ahead. Containing colloidal sulfur, bentonite and kaolin, this deep cleansing mask acts as a sponge, soaking up surplus sebum and reducing overall imperfections.

Plagued by big pores? Or perhaps you’re tired of constantly battling pimples. This mask is designed to tackle those beauty woes. It contains salicylic acids, tea tree oil and niacinamide to minimise the appearance of enlarged pores and keep your skin clear, so you can wave goodbye to breakouts.

Bid adieu to congested pores, blackheads and overall dullness with the help of this peel-off mask. There’s a host of incredible ingredients such as tea mushroom extract, which is hailed for its pore-tightening power, idebenone which is an antioxidant that supercharges worn-out skin, as well as broccoli and aloe extracts that shoo away toxic compounds. The result: A healthier and happier mien to start your day with.

If you have oily skin, you might be worried (and rightfully so) about how wearing face masks would cause the grease and grime to clog your pores further. Instead of stripping away the sebum with harsh ingredients which may cause your skin to produce even more oil to compensate for that dryness, counter shine and sebum with this sheet mask that’s specially formulated to regulate your skin’s water and natural oil balance, minimising the chances of you suffering from bad breakouts.

No time to head to your favourite facialist? No problem. This nifty tube promises to be as good as an express facial, giving you the fresh-from-facial glow without stepping out of your house. How? Its blend of green tea and kaolin works hard to iron out small bumps on the skin, lifting the veil to smoother, cleaner and younger-looking skin.

With all the hiding behind face masks going on in the past months, your skin may be feeling a lot more stressed and lifeless than usual. To combat that, reach for this two-in-one creamy mask containing crushed cranberry seeds that get rid of dead skin cells to give you more radiant skin.

Some of us may experience redness from many hours of mask-wearing in the day. Add that to excess sebum and bad airflow, and our face suddenly becomes a fertile ground for all sorts of irritations. The African wild grape in this clarifying mask will soothe redness while the salicylic acid and AHA superfruit blend regulates oil production and accelerates skin cell renewal so that your skin can be clear again.
