7 Great Masks to Pamper Yourself Over the Holiday Break

For most of us, winter break from school and work begins today. That means we can finally take an extended breather from the burnout of the past few months and focus on our self-care until the start of 2024.

We like to reset during our days off with a relaxing face mask. It's never too late to add one to your skincare routine. Ahead, find a few of our favorites and a holiday one, too.

Vitamasques Candy Cane Hand Mask: $2.99

Masks don't only have to be for your face. Other parts of your body deserve equal love, like your hands. Show yourself some love by wearing these hyaluronic acid and shea butter-infused gloves to give your hands a boost of hydration. They're also candy cane-themed, perfect for the Christmas season.

TONYMOLY I Am Sheet Mask: $3.75

Korean skincare has some of the best products you can use on your skin because they often use gentle ingredients. This TONYMOLY sheet mask is a prime example of one we've sworn by for years. They have 17 choices with different purposes. You can get aloe to moisturize your face or nourish it with honey. Personally, we love rice for a beginner mask.

 

Dr. Jart Cryo Rubber Face Mask With Brightening Vitamin C: $15

Speaking of K-beauty, we can never get enough of Dr. Jart. Their Cryo Rubber line has the most luxurious, high-quality sheet masks we ever used. The mask isn't made with a paper-like material, as most sheet masks are. It's a thick material that emulates rubber. They also suggest wearing it for up to 40 minutes, which offers the most intense absorption.

 

Innisfree Super Volcanic AHA Pore Clearing Clay Mask: $16

If sheet masks aren't your speed, we suggest the Innisfree clearing mask. When we have a breakout, it pretty much disintegrates within hours of using this item. According to their product description, 100% of people in their study also noted visibly smaller pores, and it's one of the few clay masks we've tried that don't have that strong sulfur scent.

 

Peter Thomas Roth Hello, Mask Bestie! 5-Piece Mask Kit: $19

Are you struggling to decide what mask will be a good fit for your skin type? Try Peter Thomas Roth's five-piece mask kit. You can try all their masks in a tester for only $19. It's also a great way to diversify your daily mask. Sometimes, you don't want to do one that will deeply exfoliate your skin. You just want something light that will make your skin look glowy and hydrated.

Belif Aqua Bomb Sleeping Mask: $38

Nothing is worse than that dry, inflamed skin from the winter air. We've got a miracle solution for you, though: the Belif Aqua Bomb Sleep Mask. You have to apply this before bed. Then, it does all the work overnight while you sleep, similar to an intense moisturizer. You wake up, wash your skin and bam! Your skin has suddenly returned to looking supple.

 

Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial: $80

The Drunk Elephant Sukari Babyfacial went viral on TikTok for all the right reasons. This mask has a dream blend of AHA and BHAs to help combat stubborn acne. Yet, it feels very easy on the skin. It's pricey—but it's so good. It has almost a perfect five-star rating with nearly 2,000 reviews on Ulta's website.
