Top 10 Food-Based Face Masks

WHAT IT DOES: Turns out, matcha is a lot more than just an Instagram-worthy alternative to your morning cup of coffee. This antioxidant-packed mask detoxifies, decongests, and de-stresses skin for a complexion that's bright and rejuvenated. Bonus—it works wonders for redness, too.

FUN FACT: This mask contains a unique ingredient called bakuchiol—an alternative to retinol that provides the same glowy results, sans the irritation.

WHAT IT DOES: With hydrating watermelon and replenishing electrolytes, this millennial pink mask works while you sleep to bring tired, stressed-out skin back to life by morning. The result is a dewy, lit-from-within look that no highlighter could replicate.

WHY YOU NEED IT: Don't let that $13 price tag fool you. According to reviewers, this drugstore score works harder than masks five times the price.

USERS SAID: "This mask is honestly so bomb. It left my skin feeling soft, plump, and supple. It's perfect to prep your skin for makeup if you’re dry and perfect for a weekly hydration mask, too."

FROM THE EXPERTS: In hydration and barrier tests of 26 subjects, participants found that this mask increased hydration by 29% after just 15 minutes.

WHAT IT DOES: Ever had that tight, dry feeling after stripping your skin with a harsh cleanser? This mask hits the rewind button. Packed with super berries and probiotics, it'll restore the skin's moisture barrier in just 10 minutes.

USERS SAID: "I am currently on Accutane, so my skin is flaking off on a daily basis. I use this mask every night before bed, and I wake up with amazingly calm, moisturized skin. This mask is a lifesaver!"

BEST FOR: At-home peels used to be a total no-no for sensitive-skinned gals, but this mask changes the game. With a gentle yet effective dose of organic, fruit-derived hydroxy acids, this product is suitable for even the most delicate skin types.

HELPFUL TIP: Don't freak—that tingling sensation you feel is a sign that the mask is really getting to work.

WHAT IT DOES: Look past the unfortunate color on this one—the glow-boosting results are so worth it. Packed with turmeric (yes—a spice that's probably sitting in your pantry right now), this mask calms inflammation, reduces redness, soothes sensitive skin, minimizes the appearance of dark spots, evens texture, and brightens.

FUN FACT: This double-duty mask also contains papaya to promote skin cell renewal and gently exfoliate, so it's an excellent alternative to AHAs if you have sensitive skin.

BEST FOR: Formulated with four vital hydrators—hyaluronic acid, squalane, glycerin, and betaine—this mask plumps and seals in moisture to repair extra dry skin.

USERS SAID: "I am truly impressed with this overnight mask. It leaves my skin feeling so soft and smooth the next morning, and it doesn’t feel heavy or greasy at all. I have been using it a few times a week and notice a huge difference in how hydrated and glowy my skin is!"

WHAT IT DOES: Thanks to aluminum oxide crystals, pumpkin enzymes, and alpha hydroxy acid, this mask reveals ultra-smooth, radiant skin. It doesn't hurt that it smells exactly like a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte, either.

HELPFUL TIP: This mask contains an intense alpha hydroxy acid—which is great when it comes to exfoliating, but not so great when it comes to sun exposure. You'll want to amp up the SPF when you're using this mask because it can increase your chance of burning.

LOVED FOR: This ultra-hydrating mask provides instant warmth upon application and reveals a glowing, plump complexion that's so moisturized, you may end up skipping your night cream.

HELPFUL TIP: It also comes with a handy magnetic spoon that attaches to the top of the jar, so you'll never have to worry about losing it amongst the abundance of beauty products in your medicine cabinet.

WHAT IT DOES: With hyaluronic acid, gently-exfoliating AHAs, and watermelon, this glow-boosting mask hydrates and smooths skin while you sleep. We know what you're thinking, but don't worry—it's totally pillow-proof.

HELPFUL TIP: If your skin's on the sensitive side, try it for just 10 minutes instead of overnight and increase the time as your skin adjusts.
