This budget friendly mask from the Sephora Collection is surprisingly effective. There are plenty of types to choose from, but this Rose one in particular leaves your skin intensely hydrated and brighter as well. You can use it as a step in your skincare routine before a big night out to keep your skin looking fresh and radiant even underneath your makeup.

When it comes to face masks, the one thing that makes me happiest about Origins is that it packages masks in squeeze tubes, which means you never have to worry about contaminating the inside of the tube, using too much product, or having to struggle to close the jar after you’re done and have product all over your hands. This intensive hydration mask has avocado and apricot kernel oil for skin nutrition, and japanese seaweed to smooth dull skin. If you don’t want to commit to entire tube of the stuff, Origins now has tiny little 10ml pods of all its face masks for you to try them out first.

I reviewed this mask a while back and had very good things to say about it. The gist of it: It’s ultra-hydrating, suitable for sensitive skin, and also contains ingredients that help strengthen your skin’s protective barrier as part of the brand’s dedication to anti-polluaging (pollution-driven skin ageing). And for how hydrating and soothing it is plus great packaging, it’s hard to believe it’s as affordable as it is. You can check out the full review here

It’s hard to go wrong with this Taiwanese brand, and the hydrating bio-cellulose is one of my favourites for hydration. It’s packed with plumping peptides and is quite the moisturising indulgence. The bio-cellulose nature of the mask means the sheet is a naturally derived fibre that holds a good amount of serumy goodness (so less of a dripping mess) and also helps your skin better absorb all the nutrients from the mask. It acts like a protective layer that also prevents water loss, so it doesn’t dry up even if you use it beyond the recommended amount of time.

This gel mask from Fresh contains real rose petals that work with the gel to melt into your skin. The mask primarily hydrates and tones your skin, but you’re also left with skin that’s cool and calm after. Huge bonus? The rose mask smells absolutely divine and goes a long way towards helping you relax. While I can’t say for sure if the rose petals make much of a difference, it’s still thrilling to apply to your skin.

New-to-Singapore Korean skincare brand Caolion may specialise in pore care (check out our review of the Hot & Cool Pore Pack), but they’ve also got basic hydration taken care of. These jelly-like hydrogel sheet masks lock the moisture into your skin, soothe any irritations that arise from dryness, and also work to enhance the strength of your skin. The mask contains hemp seed oil, something called prunus mume water, and chitosan to nourish, purify and calm the skin. It’s also free of parabens, sulfates and phthalates.

This gel mask is definitely on the pricier side, but it can be used for both a quick hydration boost or even left on overnight for a more intensive experience. It leaves your skin feeling incredibly soft and instantly smoother once you’ve washed it off, which is great if you’ve got a big night ahead and want your makeup to look flawless. The mask doesn’t contain too many ingredients which is always a plus in my book (fewer ingredients tend to be easier on the skin).

This is an overnight mask that is meant to heal and protect your skin while you sleep. It’s rich in fruit and flower oils to soothe the skin, arginine to strengthen it, and hyaluronic acid to plump it up. Use it as the final step in your skincare routine at night to seal in any other serums or treatments beneath it. All you have to do is rinse it off in the morning. You can use it two to three times a week.

Sleeping masks are truly the best if you prefer your skincare fuss-free. You get to leave them on, go to sleep, and only wash it off when you cleanse your face in the morning. This water sleeping mask from Laneige is perfect for stressed, dull and tired skin. It has gentle soothing agents that work overnight, the brand’s Sleep-Tox technology to purify fatigued skin and Moisture Wrap technology to help your skin retain moisture. Bonus: the smell is meant to help you relax and fall asleep. So if you’ve had trouble with your sleep patterns as of late, pour yourself some chamomile tea, slap on this mask and head to bed.
