5 Times This Face Mask Totally Earned Its Place on My Vanity

As a self-proclaimed beauty addict, I've swatched, sampled, and hoarded so many products, it's almost embarrassing. That said, it takes a lot to impress me. But always curious to test out the latest launches and buzziest brands, I was pleasantly surprised to find First Aid Beauty's 5-in-1 Bouncy Mask in the August POPSUGAR Must Have box.

Now trust me, I'm all about a two-for-one product. With naturally bold brows, I like something that darkens and sets to streamline my routine. And when it comes to controlling my lengthy mane, a detangling, heat-protecting, and nourishing spray is what I swear by. But a multitasking face mask? That I wasn't so sure about — until now.

Though I'm all about multimasking to meet my skin's various needs, this moldable, gel-like mask is able to keep it under control in five(!) different situations. So really, it's the only one I need. Ahead, I'm breaking down how it earned a holy grail title.

Between coffee-fueled mornings and margarita-filled nights, a busy weekend never fails to leave my face ultradehydrated. Because it was begging for moisture by Sunday night, I tried out this mask to see what it could do for my Monday morning skin. Though nourishing products can typically kick my oily-combination skin into overdrive, when I woke up, my face was shine-free and still moisturized.

Without fail, every plane ride I take ends with a new breakout and an influx of redness. After returning home from a recent trip, I slathered some of this on my face, let it sit for 10 minutes (yes, that's all it takes!), and washed it off to reveal significantly calmer skin and a much more short-lived breakout.

While I love kicking back on a Friday night, sometimes that means staying in and taking the time to chill. Following a particularly hectic workweek, I decided to pamper myself and have a mini spa night. Since this mask was quickly starting to grow on me, I applied a thin layer and relaxed as it worked its magic and not only gave me softer and firmer texture but just the reboot I needed.

When a Saturday night event was approaching on my recent agenda, I was set on making sure my face was looking fresh. After a shower, I turned to my now-favorite mask to give my face a quick refresh and immediately more plump, glowing skin. It primed and prepped my skin so my makeup went on flawless.

As my highly anticipated birthday weekend rolled around, being photo-ready quickly became a top priority. And since the Summer heat and prebirthday stress were taking a toll on my face, I used the mask to refine a pesky breakout that was clearing up under my nose. As expected, it totally did the trick — and I ended up with some great Polaroids to capture a memorable night.
