Even the most militant with their skincare regimes will be feeling some post-holiday beauty blues. Don’t mourn the loss of your glow too much, because these do-it-all masks will get your skin back to its radiant self in no time.

It may be the paranoia talking, but after the party season, it can suddenly seem like every late night and cheeky chocolate is making a come back on your face.

Whether it’s blemishes, redness, or general lackluster, everyone’s skin reacts in different ways to overindulgence. The good news is that while you’re getting back into the swing of things with your beauty regime, there are a few face masks that will give you an instant glow along the way.

5 Face Masks for an Instant Glow

1. Cocovita Coconut Charcoal Face Mask 
There’s nothing that draws out impurities quite like charcoal, so now is the perfect time for it to flex its detoxing muscle power. One of the main points of exit for toxins from the body is our skin, so it’s no surprise that acne prone skin types will be breaking out after a boozy night. As well as purifying the skin, this mask helps the healing process with ayurvedic heroes turmeric and neem.

2. Odacite Synergie [4] Immediate Skin Perfecting Masque 
Immediate? Perfecting? Sold. It may sound like a gimmick, but there’s nothing insincere about the name of this creation from skin experts Odacite. Designed to target an array of sign issues from dryness to dullness, this multi-tasking mask pulls out all of the stops. One thing to get particularly excited about is the probiotics, as they are fantastic for calming irritated and inflamed skin, so any signs of redness will be instantly taken down a peg or two.

3. Lani Tropical Fruit Radiance Mask
Sometimes it’s difficult to pinpoint exactly what’s up with your skin. Things can look just a little, well, meh. It could be down to skipping your daily green juice, but a buildup of dead skin cells can also be the culprit. Experience a truly glow-inducing pamper session with this vitamin-C-packed mask. Not only does the combination of baobab, mango, and pineapple powders smell incredible, but it leaves skin naturally exfoliated and bright.

4. Tata Harper Resurfacing Mask
If dry powder masks aren’t your thing, then this soothing gel mask will be. A cult classic among green beauty fans, this is one that you’ll be putting into permanent rotation after using it for a quick fix. Thanks to willow bark extract, a gentle exfoliator and purifier, skin is left looking refined and feeling smoother. Any active blemishes are also taken care of, with probiotics and aloe vera tackling inflammation like pros. Instant glow? You betcha.

5. R.L Linden & Co The Bee Charmer
More sensitive faces will appreciate the gentle nature of this mask (which doubles as a cleanser, too). Raw honey is a real treat for skin that’s been through the party wars, working hard to nourish and soothe. Having fantastic antibacterial properties makes it perfect for addressing those pesky pimples, while the addition of kaolin clay means there’s detoxing action in the works, too. And the organic cacao? A welcome whiff for those of us still craving a chocolatey fix!

The post 5 Detoxing Face Masks to Get You Glowing appeared first on EcoSalon.

Is your skin begging for a pick-me-up? Put one of these natural face masks on your shopping list.

Making your own nourishing facial mask is easy and cheap, but it does take time and the right ingredients. If you’re busy, or your pantry is bare, buying natural face masks is the next best thing–but don’t just grab the first one you see.

The beauty aisle is crowded with products that claim to be natural face masks, but are chock full of unnecessary toxic ingredients that could actually irritate your skin and affect your health. Which defeats the entire purpose!

Not to worry, we at EcoSalon poked around to find some of the best natural face masks on the market. If you can’t (or just don’t want to) make a DIY face mask, these are a worthy substitute.

7 Of The Best Natural Face Masks Money Can Buy

1 . Miessence Purifying Mineral Mask

Made from certified organic ingredients, the Miessence Purifying Mineral Mask is perfect for oily or problem skin. Made with natural green clay, organic echinacea and witch hazel to tone and purify, this mask comes as a dry powder that you combine with water when ready to use (this means there’s no danger of drying out if you forget the cap!). “It pulls so many toxins out of the skin, it’s amazing!” said Danika Carter, blogger and owner of Your Organic Life. “It even helps detox trapped toxins in the arm pit when switching from antiperspirant to organic deodorant.” $28.65

2. Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel

Perfect for sensitive skin, this product may call itself a peel, but it’s one of the best natural face masks on the market. Using organic ingredients like apple juice, white grapes, lemon and aloe, the Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel is designed for all skin types except those with rosacea or extremely sensitive skin. It’s a best-seller because it exfoliates and refines to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and lighten hyperpigmentation. $39

3. Lush Mask of Magnaminty

With a name like that, a mask could either be pretentious or awesome, and thankfully this product from Lush is the latter. Made with China clay, fresh peppermint, adzuki beans, and vanilla, Mask of Magnaminty gives you that deep down tingly clean while also exfoliating and soothing dry skin. $24.95

4. La Bella Figura Bio Active Purifying Mask

Using a combination of Manuka honey, mineral rich actives and purifying activated charcoal, Bio Active Purifying Mask is perfect for those who want to eradicate bacteria and dirt while balancing skin tone. “I love this mask because I can feel the clay drawing out toxins. It leaves my skin feeling super clean and refreshed,” says Paige Wolf,  a PR specialist for green businesses. “I also love the look of a “mud-mask” for scaring my 4 year old!” $60

5. Pangea Japanese Matcha Tea, Acai, Goji Berry Facial Mask

No list of natural facial masks would be complete without mentioning Pangea. This company has been dedicated to producing the highest quality natural beauty products since day one, and this superfood-packed facial mask is no exception. It will noticeably improve the quality, tone, and texture of your skin, leaving you soft and glowing. $40

6. S.W. Basics Hibiscus Mask

Few natural face masks can boast an ingredient list that’s only three items long, but that’s exactly what you’ll find on this bottle. Made with direct-trade hibiscus, French green clay, and organic lavender, this Hibiscus mask comes in a powder formula that you mix with water, yogurt or honey to smooth and detox. $22

7. Kiss My Face Deep Pore Cleansing Mask

I don’t know about you, but what I want from natural face masks is pore minimization. Made with cloves, tea tree, lemongrass and other natural extracts, the Deep Pore Cleansing Mask from Kiss My Face attacks facial both acne and blackheads for smaller pores and tighter, fresher skin. $15
