Nikkia Joy: "I use as a spot treatment on acne. If I am really, really legitimately wanting to zap a breakout, if I’ve got like a special event or something, I will use this every single time and it has never failed me. This is a charcoal mask. It smells actually amazing. It’s like licorice or something. A lot of people don’t like the smell of it; I personally love the smell of it."

Fresh
Rose Face Mask, $62 at Fresh
Nikkia Joy: "The purpose of this mask is to hydrate and tone. This smells like actual real roses. [You can] walk around the house or do housework or whatever it is, it’s not one of those masks where you’re actually stuck on the couch. It’s got this special algae in it and that delivers optimum moisture. It's just got so much incredible stuff in it and I have tried a lot of hydration masks that do not work at all. This, I notice a huge difference in my skin. My skin feels so soft, so plump and moisturized, so hydrated. Like, I love it and because it does such an amazing job of hydrating the skin, definitely when ... I’m using this once a week, I find that I’m producing a lot less oil." -

Charlotte Tilbury
Goddess Skin Clay Mask, $55 at Nordstrom
Dentelle + Fleurs: "It really leaves your skin baby smooth. If you’re like me and you get pimples sometimes and you have acne-prone skin on your T-zone, I would really recommend to do a clay mask at least once a week."
