6 of the most insta-worthy face masks to try

Look no further if you’re after a sure-fire way to up your Instagram game. This one from Glamglow is black in colour and loaded with tiny particles of circles and stars that catch the light for a KiraKira filter effect in real life. What’s also worth shouting about is its firming properties, powered by skin-loving ingredients such as licorice and marshmallow leaf to improve sagging, as well as its ability to be peeled off rather than rinsed off after you’ve left it on for 20-30 minutes.

If your favourite colour is pink then the Kiehl’s Ginger Leaf & Hibiscus Firming Mask is just the thing to try. Its rosy colour comes from the key ingredient hibiscus, which can improve skin texture with a single application. You’ll also find ginger leaf in this product, which is ace at reducing the appearance of fine lines, especially around your eyes and lips.

There are three standout reasons to love the Omorovicza Midnight Radiant Mask: the bluey-green formula is bound to bring on the likes, it’s loaded with Omorovicza’s signature Healing Concentrate, which is rich in vitamin C to increase luminosity and is sourced from the thermal waters of Hungary, and it contains salicylic acid to gently buff away dead skin cells and improve cell renewal.

Bright yellow in colour, the L’Oréal Paris Pure Clay Yuzu Lemon Brightening Mask is bound to turn heads on Instagram, and it’s really good for your skin. It can help clear congestion and brighten your skin all thanks to ingredients such as pure clays and yuzu lemon. Still not convinced? This product was recently awarded 4 stars by our Review Crew® panel, with one member, Montanna, saying: “It is so so easy to apply and never irritates my skin, which I struggle with from other masks. The light exfoliation is my favourite part! It's not too much but also leaves my skin with a smooth finish which I am absolutely obsessed with!”

Not only are we impressed with the sea-blue colour of the Laneige Water Sleeping Mask, but we also love that this product can be used as an overnight cream to improve hydration levels without feeling too heavy. Inside the formula you’ll find evening primrose root extract to soothe and quinoa seed extract to repair and strengthen the skin’s barrier.  

Take your obsession with matcha green tea to the next level by applying this pastel green formula all over your face. The Body Shop Japanese Matcha Tea Pollution Clearing Mask smells seriously divine and is packed with matcha green tea from Japan to draw out impurities and detoxify, whiles Mexican aloe vera soothes irritated skin.
