After an arduous week at work, a tiresome long-haul flight or a stressful day of meetings, all that we can think about is how to unwind at the end of it.
Instead of an indulgent bubble bath, scrumptious dinner or a neck massage, what we particularly tend to look forward to is our weekly dose of facial masks that never fail to whisk our thoughts away. From hydrating ones to those filled with anti-aging properties, we've lined up some of our never-to-disappoint masks that you might want to adopt into your stash.
Rana - Editor-in-Chief
Sephora Pore Clarifying Mask, approx. SGD7
The Face Shop Line Lift Collagen Eye Patch, approx. SGD12
"If I say I have about two dozens of different masks lying around on my vanity table - I won't be lying. And while I tend to rotate them depending on needs (hydration, clarifying, scrubs, anti-ageing, etc...) the one I love the most has to be Sephora's Pore Clarifying Mask which works wonders on cleaning my skin from the pores and evening out its tone. I usually use it once or twice a week after which I put on a sleeping pack to moisturise during my sleep.
But my holy grail of masks is actually for the eyes - The Face Shop's Line & Lift collagen eye patch which miraculously erases about 80% of those lines from under my eyes and its effect stays on for a day or two. I could swear by it!"

Ahava Intensive Hydration Cream Mask, approx. SGD40
"Being in an air-conditioned office for hours, my skin tends to get rather dry and dehydrated. Hence, to ensure sufficient hydration, my saving grace would be a good slather of Ahava Intensive Hydration Cream Mask. Leave this on for 15 minutues before washing off and your fingers will be treated to soft, supple skin that you'll want to smother for hours."
Shannon - Editorial Assistant & Writer
GlamGlow SuperMud Clearing Treatment, approx. SGD69
"Being the huge beauty lover that I am, I'm always dabbling between face masks - from high-end to affordable. However, no matter what I try, I always find myself back at GlamGlow's SuperMud Clearing Treatment. Perfect for those who, like me, suffer from dry, sensitive skin - this mask is ultra-hydrating, rejuvenating and overall miraculous."

Uriage Aquaprecis Express Mask, approx. SGD35
"Some parts of my face are flaky but my T-zone is definitely oily. So, to balance my combination skin, I use Uriage's Aquaprecis Express Mask. Its gel-ish texture is really appropriate for the oily part while its mineral and organic osmolytes hydrate my skin well. Plus, it's my fave product as it only needs 5 minutes to be effective – perfect for women in a hurry! I just leave it for 5 min on my face before rinsing off and feel an instant refreshing sensation. I use it twice a week."
Laura - Business Development Manager
Clarins’ Truly Matte range: Pure and Radiant mask, approx. SGD40
"I've always had oily skin and since I moved back to Singapore, my skin condition worsened due to the hot weather and high humidity levels. This mask helps give my skin a drier feel as well as helps prevent black heads. It works for me. Love it!"
Aline - Audience Product Manager
"When it’s cold outside or when I’m too tired I always use my mom's secret facial mask recipe. It’s really simple and foolproof: mix a big spoon of Nivea cream with a few drops of Argan oil to boost your skin's natural moisture. Use it once a week. And for the eyes, I'll place a frozen spoon on it (perfect to fight dark circles). After 20 minutes absorb the surplus with a tissue. Tadaaa.."
