Just about every single Redditor suggests applying a face mask after cleansing, but it's the difference in their go-to product that's most interesting. For instance, one user recommends an antioxidant mask like Pacifica's Cocoa Rush Anti-Fatigue Mask ($15), which plumps and energizes skin. Due to this mask's hydrating properties, it obviously works on those who are prone to dry skin.
But that doesn't mean it's a catch-all: those who are acne-prone should reach for an oil-reducer such as Algenist Perfect Clarifying Pore Corrector Mask ($39). We love this mask because it contains alguronic acid, which means you can actually feel your greasy goop come up for air as it's extracted from your face. Science! But not optimal for those with dry flakes.
Because these masks treat different concerns, be sure to read your problem spots as soon as you can wake up. You don't want your recovery day to lead to more problems.
