5 face masks that men will love

Are you in the process of creating a basic men's skin care routine or want to solve a specific problem (think: rough, textured skin), a face mask is required. Moisturizing sheet masks can help provide a closer shave, clay masks can close enlarged pores and detox masks can reduce the appearance of blackheads. If you're not sure which men's face mask is best for your skin type, keep reading. Here we break down five of our favorites. 

Garnier Skin Active Super Hydrating Face Mask

If you like minimalist skincare, a sheet mask is the way to go. It's mess-free and works in just a few minutes. Infused with goji berries and hyaluronic acid, this Garnier option is great for combating winter dryness. Already after the first application, even thick skin will become softer and more hydrated. 

L'Oréal Paris Pure Clay Mask Detox & Brightening 

Acne prone skin? This pharmacy detox face mask is for you. Formulated with pure clay and charcoal, its formula draws out impurities, oil and daily grime to prevent clogged pores that can lead to breakouts. We love applying this clay mask and after a long day of wearing a protective face mask, your skin will feel and look refreshed in just ten minutes. 

Kiehl's Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Mask

Brighten up your evening skincare routine with this clay mask, perfect for those with oily skin or who want to tighten enlarged pores. A product containing Amazonian White Clay removes dead skin cells, controls excess sebum and smoothes rough skin texture. Just rinse with warm water and your complexion will become matte and smooth. 

SkinCeuticals Phytocorrective Facial Mask

If you have sensitive skin, experience irritation from a protective face mask, or just need a little reset, check out this plant-based face mask. Feels cool on application (feel free to store it in the fridge too!) and instantly calms and soothes the skin upon application. It is soft so you can use this product every day. 

Baxter of California Clay Mask 

This rejuvenating and exfoliating facial mask is great for all skin types, especially mature skin, to reverse the signs of aging and even out skin tone and texture. It can also help deep clean pores, reduce acne, and brighten your complexion.
