Thanksgiving weekend is the perfect time to reconnect with family and old friends, while completely disconnecting from anything in your everyday routine that causes you stress (see you next week, deadlines). If you've been feeling the latter, we've got you covered.
When you need to unwind, nothing beats treating yourself to a skin treatment, so we've rounded up nine face masks that will give you the R&R that you deserve. From ultrasoothing formulas to mess-free packaging, adding any of these cream, clay, or sheet masks to your carry-on bag will give you the most relaxing holiday weekend of your life.
The Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask ($48) does it all — brightens, hydrates, and smoothes out lines — without any clean up. Feel free to spread this mask across your dry patches and resume your afternoon nap.
Hit refresh with a pod of Nügg Beauty Revitalizing and Cooling Face Mask for Dull and Tired Skin ($4), which has peppermint oil that will make you say "ahh."
The Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Gold Eye Masks ($25) are gold-foil eye patches that brighten, deeply hydrate (that's the hyaluronic acid at work), and diminish the appearance of dark circles. The best part: they stick onto the face, never slipping or sliding, so feel free to walk over to the kitchen and take a second helping of stuffing with these on.
The clay-based Ole Henriksen Cold Plunge Pore Mask ($36) sucks excess oils and dirt from skin while treating it with a relaxing, cooling effect.
The Luminous Dewy Skin Mask ($12) will bring even the thirstiest skin back to life. Just slap it on, lay back for a cool 15 minutes, and peel it off for a more hydrated, glowy complexion.
Patchology SmartMud No Mess Mud Masque Beauty ($8) clears pores without the worry of getting mud on your belongings. Feel free to cuddle up with your blanket with this one on.
The bio-cellulose sheet of the Saturday Skin Quench Intense Hydration Mask ($6) soothes skin with its cool, jelly texture and reinvigorating mixture of aloe, watermelon, and potent hydrators.
Olay Fresh Reset Pink Mineral Complex Clay Face Mask Stick ($14) brightens skin without the messy mud-mask application.
Aside from its smoothing and moisturizing effects, the Charlotte Tilbury Instant Magic Facial Dry Sheet Mask ($22) has slots that fit around your ears so you can tumble around in bed with it on.
