As a baseball fan, I was psyched to get a pass that allowed me standing-room access to all Mets home games — unfortunately, my complexion hasn't been enjoying this season as much as I have. After one sunburned day game and two overly windy evening games (at all of which I ate a hot dog and drank Bud Light), my skin was practically begging for some TLC.

That's where the Tula Skincare Major Glow Mask [1] ($35) stepped up to the plate. The gel mask contains probiotics to help calm inflammation [2] and papaya and citrus to smooth and brighten the skin [3]. After sitting out in the cold for two nights in a row, my skin looked dull and lifeless (despite the extensive team of illuminating products I had packed on my face) and could really use some calming and brightening ingredients.

I could hardly wait to rip open the mask's packaging and immediately placed the top and bottom portion of the gel mask on my face [4]. I loved how refreshing the cooling gel felt on my face and immediately started to feel better. While I was surprised that the mask's eye and mouth holes weren't completely cut out (I had to bend them downward so I could see and breathe), I quickly forgot about it once the relaxation started to kick in.

After the recommended five to 10 minutes of wear, I tossed the mask and looked in the mirror. While a single use wouldn't instantly transform my skin, the result was a huge improvement [5]. The high-sodium-hot-dog-induced puffiness had gone down, and my skin was significantly dewier than before. I'm looking forward to continuing to use the mask the suggested twice a week, because it's a total home run.
