8 Of The Best Hydrating Face Masks For Winter

Best Hydrating Face Masks for Dry Skin | Space NK
It’s that time of the year when no matter what your skin type is, it is probably starting to feel a little bit dry, tight and maybe even itchy. As the cold weather sets in, we recommend switching up your skincare routine to give your skin more hydration and take good care of your skin barrier.

While you might use a good hydrating face mask all year round, it’s a product that really comes into its own using the autumn and winter months and in our opinion, is an absolute must in every skincare arsenal. Whether you like to use a face mask once a week or every evening to channel your best skin slugging, it is one of the easiest ways to top up hydration levels and soothe dry, irritated skin.

During the winter months, we reach for the formulas with deeply hydrating ingredients, think hyaluronic acid and ceramides to nourish the surface of the skin and work on the deeper layers. We’ve selected some of our favourites, read on for the hydrating face masks we really rate and will be using this winter.
