CABERNE SAVIGNON

Pairing with: Masks L'Oreal Paris Pure-Clay

Bold and earthy, Cab Sauv calls for a rich mask made only from thick, earthy clay. But a mask containing only one mineral clay is better than a mask with three minerals, so check out L'Oréal Paris' Pure-Clay masks - there are three in total - enriched with a combination of kaolinite, montmorillonite and gassoul clay. For oily and hyperemic skin, try a mattifying treatment mask. To brighten dull and tired skin, apply a brightening treatment mask. And finally, for rough, clogged skin, use a purifying treatment mask.

RIESLING

Pairing with: Lancôme Hydra-Intense Mask

Nothing beats a chilled glass of white wine paired with a cooling and intensely hydrating gel facial mask. To enhance the effect of "coolness and refreshment", place this mask in the refrigerator for a few minutes before use. We should also mention that our sweet tooth led us to Riesling for this pairing, but any light white variety will do here.

SHERRY

Pairing with: Kiehl's Ultra Facial Overnight Hydrating Masque

Dessert wines - port, sherry, Madeira and others - are what many choose to end the evening. Similarly, overnight masks are used as the last step in skincare before bed. End the evening by sipping your favorite dessert wine and applying an overnight mask. This special formula from Kiehl's replenishes the skin's water reserves for long-lasting hydration and healthy-looking skin.

RICE WINE

Pairing with: The Body Shop Chinese Ginseng Rice Cleansing Polishing Mask

Take a sip of your favorite rice wine—hint: Cheongju is a delicious South Korean blend—and slip on this creamy, skin-repairing mask enriched with ginseng and rice extract from China and Community Trade Sesame Seed Oil from Nicaragua.
