Best Face Masks of All Time

1 - SkinCeuticals Glycolic 10 Renew Overnight

Hailing from the dermatologist-favorite brand SkinCeuticals, the Glycolic 10 Renew Overnight deserves its 2020 Allure Best of Beauty Award for many reasons. The key ingredient, 10 percent glycolic acid effectively exfoliates dead skin cells and speeds up cell turnover, so you're left with softer skin, less visible pores, and less hyperpigmentation. It's safe for sensitive skin, too, since the glycolic and phytic acids (which helps with clarity and brightness) are formulated with what the brand calls a triple-action soothing complex. Jojoba and sunflower seed oils act as a protective barrier from any potential acid-derived irritation.

2 - Bliss Green Tea Wonder Clarifying Overnight Gel Mask with Azelaic Acid

For anyone dealing with acne (most of us), you'll definitely want to check out the 2020 Allure Best of Beauty winner, the Bliss Green Tea Wonder Clarifying Overnight Gel Mask with Azelaic acid. Ava Shamban, a Beverly Hills-based board-certified dermatologist, previously told Allure that azelaic acid loosens pore-clogging skin cells, reduces acne-related inflammation, evens out skin tone, and reduces dark spots left behind from breakouts. 

Since it's a leave-on mask, it couldn't be easier to use — simply spread onto your face, and that's it. You'll wake up to smoother, clearer, and soothed skin, thanks to other anti-inflammatory ingredients like fermented green tea oil, green tea extract, and aloe leaf juice.

3 - Mary Kay TimeWise Repair Lifting Bio-Cellulose Mask

Perfect for a concentrated, 20- to 30-minute dose of hydration, Mary Kay's TimeWise Repair Lifting Bio-Cellulose Mask is packed with oat kernel extract, orchid extract, and sodium hyaluronate (a form of hyaluronic acid) for the ultimate pampering session. The bio-cellulose material ensures a snug, face-hugging fit that won't slip around if you need to move around. But, to make the most out of this 2020 Allure Best of Beauty winner, we recommend not letting yourself not lift a finger. After all, you deserve the break.
