Face masks come in a variety of forms—sheets, creams, powders, gels (you get it) —and tackle every issue under the sun. From acne-prone skin, to wrinkles, to dry patches, they’re the perfect accessory for the beauty-do-it-yourself-er.
For some of us, the process of pampering their face can be too time-consuming. Who has time to do a 17-step Korean skin-care routine anyway? That’s why masking is a perfect beauty excuse to treat yo’self without adding any more pressure to your day — it’s quick, easy, and affordable with (sometimes) skin-rejuvenating results. With so many masks out there on the shelves, these ‘grams are unmasking their most coveted secrets to the best ones to buy IRL! Insta-blogger tested, Chill Times approved.

The Instagram account, @maskepedia, will become your go-to skincare oracle. On her blog, Elaine shares guides, skin-care reviews, explanations of masking benefits, and lastly, helps find a mask best fitted for your complexion and desires. Growing up with cystic acne, it truly helped her understand the importance of masking and how it has significantly improved her skin. She said, “Masking has helped me find the balance my skin [needed] by returning moisture back into the deep dermis layers… and has helped lighten my acne scars.”

Who runs on martinis, oysters, and face masks? This guy — introducing Bart. He’s the master of perfecting that face mask selfie and dedicates an entire Instagram story highlight to beauty staple.

I’m not crying—you’re crying. Yes, a monthly subscription box *just* for sheet masks exists. That’s right, you can get an entire box of brand-new sheet masks without having to leave your apartment, every single month. PJs + face mask time = Netflix-binge marathons. Based in LA and Hawaii, this is a family-subscription box company that curates face masks from Korea for fresh faces in the United States. How does it work? For 10 dollars/month, you can get three Korean sheet masks to address your skin-care needs, from re-hydration to ultra-moisturizing. You’re welcome.

Either way, she’ll give you an honest review of every mask she tries in addition to educating her followers on the one-oh-ones of skin-care.

@feedherface is hands down one of the best accounts for trying to find an effective face mask for a specific purpose. On her account, she lists when to use a mask, how she rates it, and a background history behind it. Which mask made it to the ultimate five star review? Dr. Brandt: Magnetight Age Defier, a face mask that may be on the costlier side but her pro tip: use only as needed, not more.

Nataša Gavrić is a skin-care ‘grammer who lives in Stockholm and is the epitome of chill. Her pictures are stylized beautifully all while providing science-based information such as “the basics of SPF” and “dry vs dehydrated skin.” Her trick to beating the heat in a stuffy apartment? Sip some ice cube water in a fancy schmancy oversized wine glass, take a cool shower, and slather a fresh, minty Ole Henriksen “Cold Plunge Pore” mask all over your face. Why didn’t we think of that before?
