multi-masking

I'm positively, without a doubt, a multi-masker. One of my favorite ways to relax is to soak in the tub and let my mask of the night do its job. Over the years, I've tried a lot of masks, but the ones shown above are by far my favorites. And when I've got something this good, you know I've just got to share.

Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay // I got sucked right into this one. It's known as "the world's most powerful facial" and because of that claim, has created quite the buzz. I noticed the cult following this mask has, so I had to try it. My verdict? Yes, it's freaking powerful. As in... there's no way to leave this on your face for longer than 15 minutes or you feel like your skin is going to pulsate clear off of your face. I don't know if that makes sense... but the ultimate conclusion is that this mask will dry up any acne blemishes with no problem. It will clear out your pores like nobody's business.

GLAMGLOW Supermud Clearing Treatment // This one hurt a little to purchase. It's a pretty penny for such a small container, but after using it, I can understand how they can mark up the price so high. It has a six-acid blend that decongests, brightens, and softens the skin. After leaving it on for the prescribed amount of time, you can see little dots all over your face where the mask is working extra hard to draw out impurities. This will be repurchased!

Clinique Deep Cleansing Emergency Mask // Well I completely dropped the ball on this one and forgot it is discontinued. Sorry guys! I bought a ton of these as back ups when I first got word. But really, all this is is a clay-based mask. Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque is a great alternative - also one of my favorites (I just ran out of it a couple weeks ago!).


So as you can see, I love deep cleansing masks. But I also love a good specialty mask. If I'm feeling extra skincare obsessed, I'll use one of these two immediately after a cleansing mask.

29 by Lydia Mondavi Replenishing and Restoring Mask // This mask is good good. It's packed with antioxidants and good-for-you ingredients like pomegranate, white tea, olive, and rose water. I've especially been loving this on days when I've been in the sun a little too long. With our vacation in Florida and quite a few boat days already, I've unfortunately been feeling some sun damage on my skin, even though I religiously apply SPF. So after the long days in the sun, I have come home and applied this mask and let it sit all evening. You can even sleep in it! It has made an instant change for the better in my skin. Using this mask makes my skin feel nourished, balanced, and healthy in general.

REN Glycol Lactic Radiance Renewal Mask // This is holy grail material for me. I've used it for years and have mentioned it many times on this blog. It has a four-fruit acid complex that creates a gentle exfoliation that leaves the skin glowing and healthy. My favorite use for this mask is to reduce dark spots/hyperpigmentation. It drastically helps with that. It also helps with fine lines! I just love it.

Are you a multi-masker, too? What are your favorite masks?
