With the colder weather setting in my skin is getting dryer and dryer and is in definite need of some TLC. Face masks do lots of different things. Here’s a few of my current favourites and why they’re great for this cold weather.
Yes to Cucumbers Calming Paper Mask
Sheet masks are amazing for an instant boost of hydration. They look hilarious when you have one on but your skin looks and feels amazing when you remove it. This cucumber one from ‘Yes to’ is perfect for soothing your skin. I like to use one like this when I’ve been outside a lot (normally on pesky playground duty!) so my skin has been majorly dried out from the wind. This sheet mask cools and soothes it and gives it a much needed boost!
REN Ultra Comforting Rescue Mask*
I have a full review on the REN Ultra Comforting Rescue mask, it’s been a firm favourite ever since I got it. It’s similar to the cucumber sheet mask in the sense that it’s very soothing. This has a very creamy, thick texture. You apply it and leave it on for around fifteen/twenty minutes and then rinse it off with warm water and a cloth. My skin feels so insanely soft, hydrated and soothed every time I use this. It’s a little on the pricey side for a mask but it lasts ages and is well worth it in my opinion!
The Body Shop Tea tree Anti-Imperfection Night
mask
I’ve mentioned this in both my recent The Body Shop post and my September Favourites and I just can’t get enough of it! This mask is perfect for clearing spots. It has a jelly like texture and feels very cooling when applied. You put it on just before going to sleep on any active breakouts or areas where you normally get breakouts and when you wake up in the morning they’ll have either gone down considerably or disappeared completely! A must have for autumn as my skin tends to breakout a lot around this time of year.
Masque Bar Collagen Peel-Off Modelling Mask*
This is a new mask to my collection and I was so intrigued by it when it landed on my door step. I looked up a few reviews and they advised using only half the powder as you get an awful lot of product in the pot. You mix it with water using the little spoon and apply the paste to your skin, leave it on for twenty minutes (and watch with amazement as it turns to rubber!) My face felt so soft and moisturised after using this, I can’t wait to use the other half and definitely want to try the other ones in the range.
Bloomtown Botanicals – The Spring*
The final mask I just had to include is this blue clay and indigo mask from one of my favourite natural brands Bloomtown Botanicals. I did a post on Bloomtown’s eco gift sets months ago and this mask was one of the items in my set. The clay deeply cleanses your skin, it’s perfect for unclogging pores! ‘The Spring’ products are made especially for sensitive skin so they’re unscented and don’t aggravate your skin. I mainly apply this to my tzone area. My favourite thing about this masks is the fact it doesn’t dry out so it doesn’t take away any moisture from your skin.
I’ve been alternating these five masks depending on what way my skin is and they’re doing it the world of good. Have you tried any of these masks before? Does your skin get insanely dry in the autumn and winter like mine?
The Body Shop skin care products are always so good

I’ve heard so much about that Body Shop mask – I’m keen to give it a try. I’m always a bit wary of face masks cos the last one I used (years ago) I was allergic to and my face was so sore and boiling hot for ages after – it was SO uncomfortable so I’d have to opt for something by a brand I trusted which was for sensitive skin (even tho I don’t really have sensitive skin) just to be on the safe side! <3
I need a product like that Body Shop Tea Tree Night Mask! It would be great for my skin xx

I absolutely swear by the YesTo sheet masks, I love their coconut and charcoal one so I think I need to pick up the cucumber one as well.

never tried any of these, thanks for sharing xo
I’ve never tried any products from the body shop but that one looks interesting! I’ve been looking for a spot corrector lately and haven’t had any luck so I’ll most likely be looking into this! I love sheet masks, they make you look like a cute zombie and they’re perfect for when you have a little extra time to take care of your skin. Thanks for sharing, I love the look of your blog!
Hi, I need to give a flask mask a try I have not really thought about it much as I have sensitive skin and tend to stick to Deramalogica. The Ren one has caught my attention so I may give it a try.
I need to do a face mask. This post has reminded me that I haven’t done one for like a year!
I need to go out and buy one as I never really pamper myself any more I just don’t have time! I must make the for it soon! The Body Shop one sounds really good! Might pop in and get that and of that this week! Thanks for the recommendation!

I’m a fan of masque bar’s charcoal mask, but I don’t think I’ve tried the collagen one yet. I will definitely have to check it out!

As someone who is a chronic sufferer of dry skin, I’m always very conscious of keeping my face hydrated. It’s the only place I don’t regularly get break outs of eczema so I like to do my best to keep it happy because I can hide everything else with long sleeves and trousers but if my face gets dry then you can’t hide it. I’m definitely going to pick up one of the cucumber sheet masks! I can imagine how nice and hydrating it would be and it doesn’t seem like something that would give me a bad reaction!

I love the cucumber calming mask! Have you ever considered African Black Soap Clarifying Mud Mask?
The sheet mask sounds nice! I love trying out new masks.
I’m still dying to try The Body Shop Tea Tree range, and this mask sounds fabulous! I really need to improve my skincare routine, as it’s currently no -existent.. 😂🤷🏼♀️
I’ve tried other products from the REN EverCalm range and I liked them, so I’d love to give the mask a go!
Sara – Flemingo
I need to try some of these – my skin is in need of some loving.

I’ve not heard of any of these masks except the body shop which looks amazing and I’ve heard so many good things about. Really like the look of the first face mask too x

I love me a good clay mask, so the one you’ve featured from Bloomtown Botanicals sounds right up my street, especially as it doesn’t dry out your skin! I love the minimalist packaging too, so appealing! I also must try that Body Shop mask soon, I’ve heard so many people raving about it!

Ooh there are so many cool products that I want to try from this post. I think I’ll start with the Bloomtown Botanicals, I love a clay mask!

I notice that my skin does change a lot with the seasons. I have been using the sheet masks from Sephora. They’re so good at hydrating the skin. I’m just sad that they don’t have a Sephora in the UK so I can’t buy any more!

I love a face mask, thanks for the recommendations!
The cucumber sheets sounds like one I need to try.
My skin is terrible in A/W but I’ve been using Body Shop’s Vitamin E night mask and it’s been working wonders!

I love face masks! It’s amazing how many different types there are when you think about it! The body shop one looks great, I think it’d be so refreshing on your face x
I really want to try that one from The Body’s Shop! Thank you for sharing 🙂
I have tried a sample of the tea tree and I think it’s amazing! really refreshing and help with any breakouts I might have

Absolutely adore The Body Shop products!!
Love me a good mask, the funny looking ones and clay masks, especially a peel off one! Defo need to try these!

I also gave dry skin therefore during autumn it’s needs constant moisturizing. However, I’m not a huge fan of face masks but I have to say sheet masks are my favourites. I recently tried the oh k panda sheet which was so soothing on my face and left it mouatrized and soft. I would live to try the the cucumber and pepper sheet mask, it sounds like it would work wonders for my skin. I’m also intruiged by the body shop tea tree mask however the smell of tea tree is a little too strong for my liking. Thank you for sharing x
My skin is forever dry (especially in the cold weather), so I’m going to have to give some of these a try! I usually go for a good sheet mask but I might have to branch out a bit!

I haven’t tried any of these masks before but I’m very intrigued by the Masque Bar Collagen Peel-Off one. I tend to use Origins Drink Up Intensive Mask as a night cream. It smells amazing and my skin looks hydrated in the morning. I also want to try some sheet masks though, so thank you for the Yes to Cucumbers recommendation. X

Love them! I love the body shop tea tree night mask! I use it daily 💕
Yes the most annoying thing is that my skin gets dry AND it’s still also oily at the same time 🙁 I love sheet masks, and I’m trying to mask as much as possible to hydrate my skin. Have not tried the yes to cucumbers sheet mask though, all of these masks sound very interesting!
I’ve never tried any of these, thanks for the recommendations! xx

I really want to try the Body Shop Tea Tree mask. I just started using a couple products from the tea tree line and there are so good.
A Sparkle Of Grace
I love ren! Will definitely try that mask. I’ve never really tried any body shop skincare, but this has made me want to give them a go!

Ohh now I love the sound of the masque bar! I love a mix up mask as it feels all fresh. I defo need to do a facial on myself more often, great review x
These face masks all sound perfect for this time of year! I’ve been using a L’Oreal face mask a lot but I don’t think it’s perfect for this time of year so I definitely want to pick something up that’s more hydrating! xx

I actually haven’t tried any of these but they all sound fab, especially the sheet mask- they seem so popular lately!
The REN mask is one of my all time favourites, my face feels amazing after I use it!! Perfect winter staple x
There are so many masks here that I need to try! I do adore yes to, such a lovely brand!

My skin is dry at the best of times, but as soon as the weather changes it just cracks up. I have the worst, weird dry spot under my left eye at the moment. So annoying. I’m using the Dior HydraLife Jelly mask quite regularly at the moment to help boost the hydration levels. Love it because you just pop it on for 5 mins and take off the excess after with a cotton wool pad, rather than having to full on wash it off. My skin seems to love it too! I love Ren products though, so might look into their mask as well. No such thing as too many face masks right?! xx
Ahh Face Mask envy haha!!
I really want to try some of The Body Shop masks – I haven’t tried their skincare in FOREVER.

These products look amazing!! I want to try them all especially The Body Shop masks xx
love the sound of the bloomtown mask, i often find that clay masks leave my skin feeling stripped but this one sounds fab! X
Some really great products here! I’ve recently received a Masque Bar Mask, haven’t got around to trying it yet but hopefully tonight! xx
ooh this collagen mask looks really cool! I could do with a cucumber mask too as the cold air is getting to me at the moment at the moment too.
