Okay, I'm not afraid to say it, I love masks. All kinds of masks - clay, gel, peel off, sheet, you name it I've tried it. I have numerous masks that I'll cycle through but I'm always up for trying something new. I love, love, love when there are mask samples Even though I have oily skin, I go through phases where I'm more normal or dry & will mix up my masks to match how my skin is feeling.
My current favorites -
- GlamGlow SuperMud & YouthMud
- Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask
- Boscia Luminizing Black Mask and Green Tea Oil-Control Mask
- PTR Cucumber Gel Mask
- My Beauty Diary Sheet Mask - this is totally a new addition
What are your favorites? Do you mix up your masks? Are there any masks that I just HAVE to try?

i like masks too! I have dry skin so I like hydrating ones. My fav is Origins a Drink up. I also like the charcoal mask if my skin is problematic.i recently got the Algenist Brightening mask and LOVE it! It is definitely a brightening mask and it also helps with hydration. I've tried Korres sleeping fVial- it's just ok to me. Tried Kate Sommerville Age Defense; made me break out. The Boscia ones are harsh on my face. I think I have them on the TSB pile.

I'm hanging out with the Wei Mud Mask on my face right now! I can feel a stupid cyst just beneath the surface on my chin and I always alternate this and the Glamglow Super Mud to kill it before it gets huge.

I've been using the Clarins Pure and Radiant Mask a few times a week for the past month or so. I had received a sample and really, really liked it so went back and purchased the full size. Interestingly, I have oily skin and when I went back and read reviews, it looks as if it is meant as a moisturizing mask for dry to combination skin. It cleans out the pores and makes my skin super soft, without any breakouts. Love it. Also stumbled across some really cheap masks at SDB. I think they were under $2. The brand is Balea and I picked up a few to try out. I tried the brightening one and quite liked it. No breakouts, so that's a good thing. Felt really nice on ... cooling and relaxing. I think they'd be nice in the summer. For the price, I'm definitely going to pick up some more.

Ole Henriksen Blue/black berry enzyme mask. Says its a reparative and hydrating mask. I love it. I notice my hormonal acne scars fade in a rapid amount of time. It smells like lavender, and I love using it several times a week. ADDICTED!!

I use the Boscia Black mask - love it! Also, their Clarifying Detox mask is great...I haven't tried the green tea mask yet, but it is on the list when my no buy is over! I also love the Origins Charcoal and PTR Cucumber. Have you tried Fresh's Rose Petal mask? That one really helped calm my skin and I love the way it smells!! I have a few others at home that I haven't tried yet, but will have to let you know how they work out after I try them

I love my GlamGlow! I feel like it cleans my skin so well and leaves me feeling so refreshed! I also really like the Fresh Black Tea mask, I had a sample of it and it is definitely going on my purchases list! I got a sample of the PTR Cucumber Gel Mask and I've been using it under my eyes in the morning and it feels soooo wonderful. It's going on my purchase list as well.

I have combination skin and also love to mix up my masks. I've tried a lot that have just been ok, but some are fantastic! For the more expensive masks, I'll be a third vote for PTR Cucumber Gel - it feels incredible with the cooling effect and I love that it's not drying. It's my new favorite for the summer months! On the drugstore side, I'm obsessed with the Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque. It is a little drying, but I swear I see a noticeable difference in my pores and redness after using it, so I just make sure to moisturize well afterwards!!

I just started using the PTR Rose Stem Cell Bio-Repair Mask, and I love it. My skin looks brighter, more even, and my expression lines are less visible after just 3 uses. I really like the light rose scent too!

I missed getting a deluxe sample of the PTR rose @ SiJCP. I really want to try it before I buy it because I have a thing with fragrances in products.

Yesterday I used the Collagen Firming sheet mask from My Beauty Diary & it was heaven! Today my skin felt absolutely amazing! I think these masks have to be one of my new favorites. I still love my clarifying masks for all the ick and oil in my skin, but these just make everything so soft.

I got a few from a BT friend in an exchange. I don't have any stores locally that sell them so I searched Amazon. I ordered & just received a box of 12 assorted masks. It was the "My Beauty Diary All in One Limited Edition Facial Mask Set". It came with most of the various masks from MBD that I wanted to try out. There are a few that aren't in there so I'll have to be on the look out for those. I had an Amazon GF so with that & Prime, I got the masks for free. YAY!

NP - they also have eye masks that I want to try. I'm going to convince a friend to split 2 different kinds I'm eyeing.

Let's see, my favorite at the moment are Origins Charcoal mask, Ole Henriksen blue/blackberry mask and Fresh Rose mask. I'm also interested in trying My Beauty Diary and Karuna. I also like Sekkisei Kose, but it's not a relaxing mask per say since it's a peel off mask and if you have lots of peach fuzz it will hurt, but it make my face feel sooooooo clean afterward.
I do like PTR cucumber but it's too much, Glamglow is too expensive, and Sisley Paris Black Rose cream mask is WAY too expensive even if I like it.

I tried a homemade mask yesterday for the first time and loooved the results! I took one egg and separated the white from the yolk, then I beat the white until it was frothy. Then I mixed in one teaspoon of honey and a quarter teaspoon of apple cider vinegar into the yolk, and folded that mixture into the frothy white. I used a spoon to apply it all over my face, and left it on for about 25 minutes or so, and when I washed it off, my skin felt soooo smooth. It was amazing! It's also still looking fresh and bright this morning.
In my Wantable box this month, I got an Eleece Illuminous Hydrating Rose Mask, which is my first ever cloth style mask. It had a really strong rose scent, and after you leave it on for about half an hour, you take it off and rub the remaining product into your skin. It brightened my face up so much that I did a double take when I removed it. My scars looked much lighter and my face felt moisturized for days. A little pricy, but I think it will be worth it during the summer.

I tried the first aid red clay mask and really liked how my skin felt afterwards, smooth and surprisingly hydrated.
