Looking for a wash-off mask that won’t dry out, irritate, or strip your skin? Below we share some of our favorite nourishing formulas.
After being exposed to the dry winter air, there’s nothing like coming home and applying a hydrating treatment on your skin. While a sheet mask may be more convenient at times, we love hydrating wash-off masks for the ability to treat more targeted areas, the cost per use, and the spa-like experience.
Here, we’ve rounded up some wash-off masks that can tackle a variety of skin concerns while also offering a hydration boost.
Thank You Farmer Back To Relax Soothing Gel Mask
This cooling gel mask is great for rejuvenating dehydrated or sensitized skin. It contains pomegranate extract, an ingredient that is rich in vitamin C in order to help repair damaged skin, while multiple botanical extracts – including aloe vera, fig, and licorice root – work to nourish sensitized skin and reduce inflammation. Hydrating ingredients allantoin, panthenol, and hyaluronic acid round out the moisture-boosting formula.
Wash the formula off after 10-20 minutes and follow with your favorite moisturizer or leave it on overnight as a sleeping mask.
