Calming masks which replenish and hydrate your skin in a jiffy

You know that dry, crusty feeling in the winter? When the make-up doesn't slide on, and every time you wash your face, you're reminded of the Sahara Desert? To banish that and the many woes that the change in season brings to our skin, adding a solid face mask helps make it slightly better. Think smooth, hydrated, and vitalised skin.
These face masks come packed with ceramides, peptides, hyaluronic acid and more. We highly recommend using it when you are getting ready to step out. Great for dry, dehydrated, and sensitive skin, a thick lather of one of these masks will instantly rejuvenate your skin, making it feel plump.

This one plumps and refreshes your skin and has a light rose fragrance. The yoghurt delivers a lit-from-within glow and plumps up the skin with regular usage.

A quick fix when you are running out of time, the Clarins SOS Comfort Nourishing Balm Mask boasts the goodness of wild mango butter. All you need is 10 minutes to soothe and comfort your skin from this dry weather.

A double-duty face mask formulated with niacinamide, ceramide, panthenol, and apple extract to hydrate and fade discolouration with continued use.

One of Sulwhasoo's best-selling offerings obviously had to make it to this list. This overnight mask does the job while you get your beauty sleep. Apply a thin layer which helps reduce moisture loss, fades pigmentation and gives you soft, smooth texture once you wake up.

This nourishing mask is a potent pick because it comes with a variety of active ingredients like lactic acid and niacinamide that help hydrate, brighten, and improve texture, leaving you with soft, supple skin by morning.

Enriched with sandalwood that helps cool down and firm your skin, and Saffron and Kokum Butter, which help soften and nourish the skin, the thick consistency of the product will keep you coming back for more.

One of the best options for dry, dehydrated skin, the La Prairie Cellular Hydralift Firming Mask delivers intense hydration and firms the skin while minimising redness. This quick-acting mask heals redness and micro-stress caused by external factors like the environment.
