If using your daily skincare routine is like eating a healthy diet, than consider face masks your vitamins and supplements. When paired with a great routine and used consistently, face masks can help you reach your skin goals more quickly and maintain your results.

Celebrity aesthetician Melissa Fox believes daily masking is the secret to flawless skin: “When I incorporate a mask into my daily routine, I absolutely notice a difference in my texture, pore size and glow. It’s all about choosing the right mask for your skin instant and what your skin needs on that particular day.” Fox explains her methodology, “Our skin has different needs every day, depending on our lifestyle, climate and daily activities. Whether you need extra hydration after a sweaty workout, soothing after a day on the boat or detoxifying after a night out, adding in a quick mask will make a huge difference in your skin by the end of the week.”

It’s important to have a variety of masks available to support your skin's ever-changing demands. Hydrating masks, detoxifying clays and exfoliating treatments are the building blocks of a well-stocked face mask collection. Here’s a breakdown of our must-have masks when building your daily mask stash!
