My parents are in Asia and I was researching a list of beauty products I wanted them to bring home for me. At the top of my list were several different kinds of face masks. In Asia, women are super duper concerned about skincare (more so than actual make-up like in the U.S.) I DO love using these face masks that are like sheets with products already soaked in them. But while I am very religious about washing and moisturizing my face, I often forget and get lazy about using masks. I hear a lot of women who take really good care of their skin use masks 1-2xs a week. I'm lucky if I remember to use a mask every other month!
Just ordered some masks from Amazon last night and this will be part of my New Year's resolution to use masks more regularly as I really do see a difference when I use them!
Do you use masks regularly? And if so, what kinds/brands do you love? Link below if you can!

I don't. However, I'm really interested to hear the brands because I am very interested in starting!

I use the freeman avocado oatmeal clay mask, and the freeman cucumber peel off mask. Sometimes the bore self warming mask.
Sometimes I'm convinced they make a difference, sometimes I'm not. My skin has been horrible throughout pregancy. -
I've used the Proactiv clay mask before and am a fan! I'm interested to hear about other facial masks also!

Haha, I’m a little obsessive about skin care and masks! The masks I use are all in the link below. I use this Rejuvenating Mask every day (just a little dab; I use it at night all over my face as more of a night cream than a mask, though it is a great mask too). I use the facial steam bath and follow that with this clay mask. I used to do the steam bath + clay mask once a week but I’ve been slacking since LO was born. I also have the Soothing mask, which is great for the change in season and if you get sun or wind burned at all.
Also, one of the best masks I’ve found is plain old honey. Just put regular honey all over your face, let it sit for about 30 minutes, then rinse it off with warm water. Your skin will be super soft afterwards, and because honey is anti-bacterial it also helps some with blemishes. Just make sure you put your hair back in a ponytail or else you’ll get honey all up in your hair!
Oh, and I also have these...not sure if I love them or not, but they are reasonably priced and fun http://www.sephora.com/express-beauty-mask-with-pomegranate-P309804

I don't! Maybe I should!

@shopaholic: I have a bunch of those sheet facemasks from Asia but never really noticed any difference after using those! Since I have oily skin, I really prefer clay masks... but I only remember to use them once every other month or so too!
-
I tried a Qiora sheet facemask and i didn't really notice a difference. I currently use REN Glycol Lactic Radiance Renewal Mask and it really brightens up my face. http://www.sephora.com/glycol-lactic-radiance-renewal-mask-P203616

I used to but I'm abit lazy, I ordered from Aztec clay from amazon and I've used that on my face a few times. but I'm so lazy to mix it up
-
Not often after I had LO but my favorite mask of ALL TIME is SKII's facial treatment masks--http://www.sephora.com/facial-treatment-mask-P375852
I stock up when Saks has gifts with purchase. They are probably cheaper in Asia, I highly recommend them.

Love all the recommendations! I like the concept of Clay Masks, but they usually are too drying on my skin!
Here are the ones I just ordered:
- My Beauty Diary Black Pearl Mask: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001R5U2UU/ref=oh_details_o01_s01_i00
- My Beauty Diary Natto: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001R654TS/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00I can't really think of any masks I've bought recently (mostly those Asian sheet masks I buy in single packs...), except for this Origins Active Charcoal Mask I will use when I need a deep pore cleansing: http://www.amazon.com/Origins-Clear-Improvement-Active-Charcoal/dp/B004W75SLI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1354595914&sr=8-1&keywords=origins+charcoal+mask
@keiki_mama: I ALWAYS read about how great SK-II products are but I've been too stingy to splurge! I think I must try some of their stuff soon and check this mask out at Sephora!

@shopaholic: I got a free sample of this and just used it yesterday afternoon.

My skin still feels super hydrated right now! Usually, the effects of at-home masks don't last that long for me. I'm definitely ordering some more now!
