Beauty Face Masks
Which one is right for you?
The right mask is not just a weekly ritual, the right mask for your skin concern will improve the condition and texture of your skin. Whether you are addressing dryness or dehydration, large pores and acne or pigmentation and tone, choosing the right mask for your unique complexion need not be a minefield.
Just like a serum or moisturiser, a beauty face mask is skin treatment. It delivers highly concentrated actives, vitamins and nutrients to the skin improving overall skin health and function. Beauty masks act as a physical barrier that locks in beneficial ingredients allowing the actives to work at optimum efficiency.
Most beauty face masks are formulated to be used weekly to give your skin an instant boost. The benefits of a weekly face mask are vast and varied depending on the mask that’s right for you. Holistically, a face mask will address the skin barrier, these can include:
- Hydrating and nourishing the skin barrier
- Refined skin texture and pores
- Balancing sebum production and excess oils
- Detoxify and cleanse the pores
- Improving the look of fine lines
- Brightening skin marks and pigmentation
- Firming and encouraging skin elasticity and firmness
With so many benefits let’s talk about the right mask by texture for your skin.
Mask for Glowing Skin – Detox, Clarify and Decongest
Clay is a tried, tested and very well-known base for many formulations that are most effective in fighting acne and excess oil. It works as the ultimate deep cleanse to drawing impurities from the skin, helping to purify the pores. An effective daily cleansing regime in partnership with a twice weekly clay-based mask will have combination or problematic skin balanced and glowing in no time. The AMALA Deep Cleansing Charcoal Clay Mask is a creamy rinse off mud and charcoal formula that decongests clogged pores and resurfaces dull, flaky texture without dehydrating. The silken texture of this mask leaves the skin oh so smooth for a more clarified complexion.
Best For: oily skin, acne, congestion and breakout prone.
Mask for Radiant Skin – Pigmentation and Sun Damage
Exfoliating masks are formulated with natural chemical and mechanical exfoliating properties that gently accelerate the skin renewal process to reveal a smooth and even toned complexion. The active Vitamins and fruit acids are beneficial in improving the look of pigmentation and skin spots. The Laurel Brighten Mask is a powdered mask that is activated with water or a hydrosol (a mist) that is bursting with Vitamin C to lighten discoloration. Delicate raw fruit acids also help to repair discoloration damage on a deeper level, while strengthening and firming the connective tissue. It’s also a great mask for mature and scarred skin.
Best for: pigmentation and sun damaged
Mask for Hydration – Nourish and Replenish
Cream masks have a rich texture that create an occlusive barrier over the skin to prevent trans-dermal water loss while the actives work their magic. These face masks do wonders for adding moisture and nutrients back into the skin, helping it remain plump and hydrated.
These masks are expertly formulated with a base such as honey or in the case of the Namari Kokon Cleansing Cream Concentrate and Mask, a rich and decadent fusion of cashew cream, fine organic plant oils and essence of Peru Balsam. Developed especially for protective cleansing and nourishing care, this lush cream emulsifies in water to a light milk, revealing a velvety soft and delicately purified complexion.
Beneficial for all skin types, including dry and mature.
Mask to Boost Collagen – Support Graceful Ageing
A vitamin infused gel mask has a lightweight texture and is an excellent choice for normal to oily skin types. They are a real all-rounder addressing first signs of ageing as they retexture and soothe the complexion. The AMALA Rejuvenate Collagen- Boosting Peptide Mask is a powerful peptide mask to re-densify and bring back the bounce back to your skin. We love this mask for its Vitamin C infusion protecting and boosting collagen integrity.
Best for anti-aging in all skin types.

Mask for Firming – Plump and Tone
Powdered face masks not only cleanse the skin but also treat and boost the complexion due to a mix of herbs, fruits, flowers and whole plants. Activated with water, milk or even honey, they are multi-functional as the powder also acts as a gentle exfoliator improving blood circulation and encouraging cell turnover. The unique vegan formulation of the Organic Beautifying Mask by Dr Alkaitis includes four types of the most powerful skin plumping, collagen stimulating, anti-inflammatory and immune system boosting mushrooms found in nature. This Pre+Pro biotic mask is a potent and highly effective formulation that helps to prevent the signs of ageing by boosting collagen production and enhancing the skin’s cellular function.
Best for normal and combination skin
Mask for Sensitive Types – Calm and Soothe
For those with skin conditions such as Rosacea treating the skin can be daunting and often laden with anxiety and trepidation. The right all natural mask can calm and soothe redness and inflammation helping to strengthen the skin barrier assisting the overall function of the skin. The AMALA Soothe Pre-Probiotic Hydrating Yogurt Mask is specially formulated to address Dehydrated skin in need of SOS.
