Patience is a virtue, they say. But, when it comes to perfecting our complexions, all forms of patience go right out the window. We want results... and when do we want them? NOW! Thanks to the nature of our impatience, we've gathered the best facial masks to transform your mug in a matter of minutes. So what are you waiting for? Flawless skin is just minutes away!


Hot & Cold

Whether it's a cooling or warming sensation, stimulating masks improve blood flow, clarity, tone and texture! Warming masks provide a deep clean feel with the use of ingredients such as cinnamon oil and ginger, instantly helping clear up clogged pores and leaving you with a healthy glow. On the other hand, a cooling mask employs agents such as teat tree oil to lift away impurities, soothe sensitive blemishes, absorb oil and leave your skin feeling refreshed and soft to the touch!

When thirsty, lackluster skin needs an immediate pick-me-up, try one of these intensive hydrating masks! In just five minutes, moisture is restored, skin is firmer, softer, balanced and appears more rested and rejuvenated thanks to ingredients like olive leaf, hyaluronic acid and antioxidant-rich black tea.

Who doesn't love a good clay mask? Not only are these pretty fun to apply (especially on a girls' night in!), but they're also packed with skin-loving benefits to decongest pores for clear, smooth skin. And if sun spots are what you suffer from, the Garnier Vitamin C treatment mask leaves skin looking bright and refreshed for 24 hours in just 10 minutes.
