5 Facial Masks That Repair Tired Skin in No Time

One Cucumber Aloe Facial Paper Mask (Target.com) gives you serious bang for your buck: It soothes red and irritated skin with chamomile and aloe vera, and moisturizes with hyaluronic acid and glycerin—all for only $2. Place the saturated mask over your face for 15 to 20 minutes, then rinse off with warm water.

If all your skin needs is a healthy shot of hydration, pour a packet of Sephora Collection Instant Moisture Mask ($15 for four, Sephora.com) into the plastic container, add water, and shake until the liquid turns creamy. Apply the mask, and wait five to ten minutes before rinsing. A seed extract (from Cassia angustifolia, an Indian plant) softens skin and helps retain moisture.

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Age Erase Recovery Mask ($48 for six, dgskincare.com) works its magic in two steps. You start by applying the clear cream in the first packet—it contains a high concentration of hydrating hyaluronic acid and ten antioxidants (including vitamins A, C, and E, and soybean extract) to fight damaging free radicals. Then apply the self-heating clay—to open pores and allow the cream's nourishing ingredients to deeply penetrate skin. After ten minutes, remove any residue with a washcloth.

The seaweed powder in Bliss No 'Zit' Sherlock Breakout-Busting Rubberizing Mask ($38 for six, blissworld.com) penetrates pores to dissolve excess dirt. Tea tree oil treats existing blemishes and helps prevent future breakouts, and menthol and willow extracts reduce inflammation. When the mask turns rubbery, 15 to 20 minutes after you apply it, slowly peel it off.

True Blue Spa Fizzy Foaming Face Mask ($12, bathandbodyworks.com) is a lightweight formula that starts as a cream but froths on your skin to gently remove oil and dirt. Green tea extract calms redness and irritation, while vitamin E repairs skin and glycerin locks in moisture.
