Jelly Face Masks Are the Cool New Beauty Skincare Trend to Try in 2018
:upscale()/2017/12/20/907/n/1922153/6d7bfb585a3acc20a89860.51931573_edit_img_cover_file_44442905_1513724048.jpg)
I'll admit it was the cool slimy jelly texture that lured me in. It's the kind of weird need-to-touch consistency that makes you light up like a little kid playing with Gak for the first time, and that's before you even slather it all over your face and reap the glow-y results. The strange Jell-O like feeling boasts a coolness factor that puts it in a category of its own. It rivals other trendy masks featuring clay, glitter, and a bubbling effect.
This new breed of ultrahydrating jelly skin saviors combines unique silky textures that will entice you to regularly slather them on. They typically feature a cocktail of hydration-boosting actives, like hyaluronic acid and alpha hydroxyl acids. These power ingredients turn dry Winter flakes into soft, dewy skin. Whether it's three minutes or a night of beauty rest, these five transforming jelly masks will be your go-to for glowing skin all season long.

Erno Laszlo Hydrate & Nourish Hydra-Therapy Memory Sleep Mask
This fuss-free, no-rinse mask was made for the lazy girl. Apply a layer of the silky pink jelly all over your face before tucking yourself in, and wake up in the morning with a smooth complexion. Added bonus: the jelly in the jar sets to a beautifully flawless and ultrasatisfying, dent-free surface after each use, so it looks brand new and untouched every time you open it up.

And we must admit, it's worth the wait.

Kiehl's Calendula & Aloe Soothing Hydration Mask
Cooling aloe vera and hydrating calendula flower petals make this one of the most refreshing jellies on the list. The golden jiggly gel gives skin an instant coolness the second you apply it and is exceptionally soothing for parched Winter skin. Rinse the gel away just five minutes later to reveal supremely coddled skin.

Herbivore Blue Tansy AHA + BHA Resurfacing Clarity Mask
Blue tansy oil is the power player in this jar giving it both the deep azure color and the anti-inflammatory benefits that sooth dry, aggravated Winter skin. Natural alpha and beta hydroxy acids like white willow bark and a blend of fruit enzymes from papaya and pineapple work to gently exfoliate skin, decongest pores, and reduce redness, revealing a beautifully buffed, dewy complexion when you rinse it off.
