Identify your primary skincare goals—such as hydration, brightening, detoxifying, or anti-aging—and select a mask designed to address those needs. Many masks offer multi-tasking benefits, but focusing on your top concern yields the best outcome.

3. Ingredients

Look for high-quality, effective ingredients like hyaluronic acid for moisture, clay or charcoal for purifying, and antioxidants for protection. Avoid harsh chemicals or fragrances if you have sensitive skin.

4. Application & Usage Frequency
