One thing a good mask can definitely do is boost hydration levels. And this is when we turn to hydrating masks. Dehydration is not a skin type, but a skin condition that any skin type can have. Yes, you should be taking care of that daily, but we all know that there are days in which your skin suffers extra damage. Whether it’s a harsh cold wind, the blazing sun, or even you blasting the AC, sometimes your skin needs extra help. But not all hydrating masks have been created equal, so let’s take a look at our favorite ones for each situation.
