13 Face Masks For Essential Autumn Skincare

Our favourite beauty brands understand that there is nothing quite like a mask to rescue our faces when the weather changes. And oh, how the weather has changed now that it’s autumn. Colder outside temperatures, plus hotter and drier indoors now that we have the heat cranked, can hit our skin hard. Our complexions need a boost, whether it’s addressing dehydration, lack of firmness, much needed exfoliation or perking up sallowness—and we’ve got you covered with these skin-soothers. —Catherine Dunwoody

Chanel

Ok. This is splurgy yes – but do the math. Add up the cost of facials you’ve treated yourself to over the past year, and Chanel Sublimage Le Masque comes in as strong contender for home spa days. This new rejuvenating mask contains Vanilla Planifolia which helps to strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier. Think of this as a protective veil, even after you remove it once 10 minutes have passed. The refillable and gorgeous glass jar is appreciated by the eco-minded plus the inner container pops out so you can bring it along when you travel.

Conair

In the same spirit of at-home spa days, Conair’s LED Light Therapy Mask should be added to your treatments on rotation. This mask uses red light which stimulates collagen production, heals breakouts, and revs up radiance. 6 minutes a day can leave you with smoother, brighter skin, without the skincare clinic visit.

Fenty Skin

RiRi’s beauty brand keeps on rolling out the fun stuff, and for those battling break outs and troubled skin the Cookies N Clean Detox Face Mask this is a gamechanger. Non-drying, scent-less and gentle this whipped clay mask contains charcoal and salicylic acid ideal for oily skin. Apply, let dry, then gently exfoliate as you remove with water.

Clarins

Best-selling Cryo-Flash Cream | Cold Anti-Aging Face Mask  from the iconic French brand feels cooling (that’s the cryotherapy part) as soon as you glide it across your skin plus that soothing tingly feel continues long after you remove it too. Cryotherapy benefits skin, especially when it comes to aging, and this mask contains powerful ingredients like M.G.A. molecules derived from menthol plus organic evening primrose extract.

Estee Lauder

Advanced Night Repair Concentrated Recovery PowerFoil Mask contains the concentrated benefits of the Advanced Night Repair line up in a first of its kind PowerFoil application. Tear open the pouch, unfold the silvery 2-piece mask and apply, letting the hyaluronic acid serum deeply moisturize for a few minutes before you remove, tap anything left on your skin into it and catch some essential shut eye.

Clé de Peau

If a 24K gold-infused face mask doesn’t sound luxurious, what does? Yes, when you smooth on  Gold Vitality Mask you do look a little ‘Goldfinger’ which frankly is quite fun on a dreary autumn day. The formula behind this mask leaves skin lifted, radiant, plumped up, and I dare say, a bit of that gilded radiance remains after rinsing off.

Shiseido

Dead skin cells are meant to slough off, revealing a fresh complexion hidden underneath. Apply the WASO SATOCANE Pore Purifying Scrub Mask, let sit for 5 minutes, dampen hands and gently scrub before rinsing. Use this pre-shower a few days a week to clean out congested pores, gently.

Dior

No time for an indulgent 30-minute mask? On busy days, we get that. This miracle in a tube leaves you with baby skin after just 60 seconds. Capture Totale Dreamskin 1-Minute Mask defines the fastest facial ever, and the results from the 85% natural ingredients are nothing short of noticeable.

Watier

Hydrating Mask Infused with Rose Petals is a gliding gel that calms, hydrates and perks up tired complexions. Rich with rose water and rose petals it’s that pretty pick me up we all need prior to a big night out, or a Zoom-filled day on camera when tired-looking skin is not an option.

Drunk Elephant

F-Balm Electrolyte Waterfacial is an overnight mask that cools the skin while it plumps and restores electrolytes to the skin barrier. Ideal for thirsty skin, especially as a prep before you get on your next flight. Fun fact? It can be smoothed on dry elbows and hands as a nighttime treatment too.

Marcelle

Vitamin C + Squalane Brightening Mask with Probiotics offers such great value, an excellent product for a steal. Antioxidant rich vitamin c reveals a radiant skin after just a few minutes treated with this glycerin-based mask. Contains soothing, comforting and nourishing probiotics too.

OMY Laboratories

For a quickie you can’t beat this brand’s Triple-Exfoliating Face Mask which sloughs off dead skin cells, tightens up pores and addresses hyperpigmentation. 1-5 minutes is all you need for an improved complexion.

Summer Fridays

A tube of relief after a long flight, or just a long day, the Jet Lag Mask can be smoothed on the entire face, including the eyelids and under eyes for instant ahhh. No need to rinse off either, this mask is fragrance-free, hydrating and calming with niacinamide, glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants, for all skin types.
