It's soo satisfying to lift away dead skin cells, debris, and excess oil in one gentle, swift motion. And while you might think you can only get this type of instant gratification by booking a facial peel from your dermatologist, a cheaper alternative exists: peel-off masks.
There are many different face masks out there, from charcoal masks to sheet masks. There’s one designed for every skin type and skincare condition, from dryness to blackheads. Peel-off masks in particular are great for penetrating deep into clogged pores and absorbing oil like a magnet. They're also frequently used for stripping away breakout-causing bacteria and impurities that cloud the skin’s surface, leaving behind a fresh layer of clear, radiant skin.
Of course, since peel-off masks are so powerful, it's important to note that they're ideal for oily skin types or normal skin types, but they can be a bit harsh for those with sensitive skin or dry skin types.
With this in mind, we decided to comb through the IPSY product arsenal to find the best peel-off masks according to Ipsters like you. Whether you're looking for a purifying face mask or a luminizing, hydrating one, there's a peel-off mask on this list for you.
Continue reading below for our list of the best peel-off masks according to Ipsters, and discover the wonders of peel-off masks for yourself.
1. Hey Honey Take It Off Exfoliating Honey Peel Off Mask
Treat your skin by trying this exfoliating and brightening peel-off mask–trust us, your pores will thank you. Made with brightening honey extract and all kinds of effective exfoliates, like lactic and glycolic acid, this face mask leaves your skin feeling radiant and new. Not only is it crazy good at clearing acne-prone skin, but it also “smells great and feels amazing,” according to Ipster @zeekra. To apply, simply spread this face mask evenly around your face, avoiding the eyes, eyebrows, and hairline. Let it work its purifying magic for about 20 minutes and then peel away to reveal smoother, brighter, clearer skin.
2. I Dew Care Disco Kitten
"It’s easy to put on and take off, and it left my skin glowing.”
This peel-off face mask will make you sparkle and glow like a disco ball. Okay, maybe we’re exaggerating, but it does contain exfoliating pearl powder and diamond powder to detox your pores while seriously illuminating your skin. Hydrating oat kernel extract only adds to this face mask's brightening and moisturizing benefits. “It’s easy to put on and take off, and it left my skin glowing” one Ipster said, while another wrote it “made my face very soft!” Use this face mask one or two times a week for the best pore-lifting, luminizing results, and get ready for a glowing, lit-from-within skin care look.
3. Wander Beauty Lift Off Purifying and Brightening Peel Off Mask
“...don’t pass this up.”
3, 2, 1… lift off to clearer, more radiant skin with this purifying and brightening peel-off mask. This bright pink, fruit-forward face mask is loaded with antioxidant-rich acai, goji berry, blueberry, lychee, mangosteen, and Vitamin C-packed green tea extract to firm, brighten, and hydrate your skin. Kaolin red clay, meanwhile, absorbs excess oil and dead skin cells while clearing out clogged pores for a firming, cleansing experience that leaves skin fresh and rejuvenated. Ipster @jglumpkin89 described this fabulous beauty product as a “thin, soft peel-off mask with fabulous results. Ladies, don’t pass this up.” And with results like these, we can't help but agree.
4. Purlisse Watermelon Energizing Marshmallow Peel Off Mask
“The results were lovely.”
The moisturizing Purlisse Watermelon Energizing Marshmallow Peel Off Mask is an IPSY favorite for a reason. It smells heavenly and has the soft, decadent texture of marshmallow, while being totally vegan and cruelty-free. Infused with watermelon, blackberry, cranberry, and elderberry, it’s without a doubt the best face mask for fruit lovers–and it's "gooey and fun" to use, wrote one Ipster. Use it in the morning for a skin-energizing boost or at nighttime for a relaxing skin care indulgence. And, since it's so light, it's a great pick for sensitive skin–as one Ipster wrote, this face mask “was so lightweight I almost forgot to peel it off! The results were lovely.” Whether you have dry skin, oily skin, or any skin type in between, this hydrating face mask is sure to delight.
5. Hey Honey Take Away the Drama Youth Boosting Honey & Copper Peel Off Mask
“...it is AMAZING!”
Ipsters love Hey Honey peel-off face masks so much, we had to include them twice on our list. This peel-off mask is one our top-ranking picks for a peel-off mask with anti-aging benefits. The combination of luminizing honey and skin tone-correcting copper leaves skin free of blemishes, fine lines, and totally radiant, while aloe vera adds a hydrating, moisturizing boost. But don’t just take our word for it: one Ipster wrote “I just used this for the first time and it is AMAZING! My pores look smaller, skin is less red with an even tone, and it feels so soft."
