The Best Face Masks

Now that fall has arrived I've already started thinking (and worrying) about my skin. The changes in temperature always affect my skin, especially heading in to the cold winter months. Last year I noticed quite a change in my skin, it was constantly dull, dry and I even had a lot of breakouts, which is very rare for me. Because of that, I took charge and started to get serious about my skin care routine. While doing so, I came across many different face masks. I've used face masks before, but never really put much thought in to them. Most of the ones I used were given to me or was the result of rummaging through my moms drawers. So when I came across them again this time, I decided to try a few out and these are the ones I've been using nonstop over the past few months.

Lush Mask Of Magnaminty: This was the first mask I purchased at the beginning of this year and boy am I glad I did. It has an amazing peppermint smell and a nice thick texture. You apply a thick layer to your face and let it dry (about 15 mins) and then rinse off with warm water. Not only is this a great mask for deep cleaning pores but since it has a gritty texture it exfoliates your skin as well. I am also all about all natural face products and I love that Lush uses all natural ingredients.

Pratima Sandalwood Rose Mask: Well this is my first time mentioning this skincare line, but trust me there will be a ton more to come on them. They are hands down the best skincare line I've ever used. And trust me I have tried my fair share of products at all price ranges. Beyond their amazing daily skin care products, they also have a wide range of masks. The Sandalwood Rose mask is great for evening skin tone and making your skin feel so smooth after. I love using this mask when I don't necessarily need a deep cleansing, but just want to balance and smooth my skin.

Origins Clear Improvements Mask: I came across this mask at one of my many (many...) trips to Sephora. I had heard of clay masks and used a few in the past, but nothing compares to this particular mask. It deep cleans like no other mask I've used and it really does pull all the dirt from your pores. It also tightens your pores and helps eliminate that dreaded winter dullness.
