The Ultimate Sunday Night Face Mask Routine
We don’t always have time to pay much attention to our skin during the week. When we get home after a busy day, all we want is to rest and we often find ourselves too tired to do more than a quick makeup removal before bed time. A facial routine is easier to fit in a weekend schedule and Sunday night is the perfect time to treat yourself to a well-deserved skincare ritual. Allow your skin to detoxify and feel the benefits throughout the week.
Which Face Mask is Right For My Skin?
Every type of face mask serves its purpose and the product that does wonder for your best friend might not be the best for you.
The secret is finding the Holy Grail mask tailored to your own skin’s needs, whether it’s hydration, excess oil removing, detox, replenishment… They deliver both immediate and long-term benefits when they are integrated to a regular skincare routine. We pulled together our favourite face masks for every skin type:
Normal skin
Normal skin doesn’t need any extra hydration but sometimes looks dull. If that's your case, look for a mask infused with energising and properties. Some of them are specifically formulated to boost radiance and leave your skin with a luminous glow.
We love Origins masks for their great results and amazing feels, and our go to for dull skin is the Ginzing™ Peel-Off Mask. Enriched with coffee beans, its formula works to refine your complexion.
GLAMGLOW's FLASHMUD™ Brightening Treatment Glam To Go is another great radiance-reviving face mask that revitalises your skin and combats unevenness as well as dark circles.
If your skin needs a bit of extra moisture, especially in the Winter, we recommend the Double Glow Peel Mask from Vichy. Its watery-gel texture feels amazing on the skin and leaves it smoothed.
Blemish prone skin
If your skin breaks out, go for a formula that contains blemish-fighting Salicylic Acid. This result-proven ingredient deeply clears up your pores and helps you combat future blemishes.
There are plenty of options out there but one of our favourite is Dermalogica's Clear Start Breakout Clearing Cooling Masque. Its purifying yet gentle formula cools down your skin and prevents future breakouts.
As an alternative, the Yes to Tomatoes Detoxifying Charcoal Mud Mask helps your skin to get rid of acne, including blackheads. Another favourite is the Pure Intense Purifying Mask from Babor absorbs excess sebum and leaves your skin visibly calm and smooth.

Oily skin
If you need a deep cleansing treatment, the Aveda Deep Cleansing Herbal Clay Mask works to absorb excess oil and dry out impurities, leaving your skin visibly refined.
With its detoxifying and purifying properties, Charcoal is also a key ingredient that you can find in the Pore Refining Solutions Charcoal Mask from Clinique.

Dry and/or sensitive skin
These skin types need a lot of moisture, which you can achieve with the right hydrating mask. We’ve already rounded up our 5 top face masks for sensitive skins but here are some others that are worth giving it a try.
If redness is your main concern, count on the Roséliane Anti-Redness Mask from Uriage to cool down inflamed skin and improve micro-circulation.
We also love Dermalogica's Skin Hydrating Mask for its refreshing gel texture and its incredible moisturising properties.Organic Surge's Daily Care Deep Cleansing Face Mask combats both dullness and dehydration for a smooth and brightened up complexion.

NUXE's Nuxuriance Ultra Mask works to re-plump the skin and reshape the oval of your face. Another favourite is from Shiseido. Containing exclusive LAG Revitaliser, Shiseido's Benefiance Firming Massage Mask gives your skin a youthful and radiant glow.
Darphin's Stimulskin Plus Divine Mask is formulated to reduce visible signs of maturation and boost the skin’s regenerative process.
