Here are a few great options to try now:

Lush Cosmetics 1000 Millihelens Jelly Face Mask, R145, get it in store (sold out online). 

With ingredients like fresh apple juice, green tea, witch hazel for its antibacterial and astringent gifts, with lemon and orange oils which help to brighten the skin, this jelly mask is a YAAAS.

Optiphi HydraDerm HA Masque, R652.

This one you can even leave on for optimal hydration. It's a creamy mask that works wonders for skin fatigue as it is gentle and calming.

dermalogica, skin hydrating masque, R710.

This gel mask is refreshingly cool for summer. After a dry winter it will help revive your skin. It's meant to restore the skin’s protective barrier, boosting moisture levels for healthier, smoother skin.

Avène Cleanance Mask-Scrub, R249.95, Clicks.

One of my all-time favourite brands, this one has two great functions - it does a deep cleanse while it enriches the skin with soft clay. Give congested skin some relief with this lovely product as it is very effective at unblocking pores and reducing blemishes.

Clinique Moisture Surge Overnight Mask, R495.

Perfect for turning on that dewy glow it helps skin to hold in moisture all night. Basically, you'll wake up looking like a teenager. Well, almost.
