Perk up tired looking skin with masks from Dermaglow, MyFaceWorks, Mary Kay and IQ Derma!

Traveling, not sleeping well, working too hard and stress can all make your skin look dull, tired, dry and just plain blah! An easy way to make it look more alive instantly is a mask that packs a moisture punch and will add some needed life to skin that seems to be without it - here are a few of my faves:

Dermaglow Rejuvenating Moisture Mask - 50ml - $30 - a deeply moisturizing mask for dry, dehydrated or aging skin. Immediately skin will look and feel smoother and fine lines will appear less visible. Then due to an advanced moisturizing complex rich in water-binding properties, the hydration effect lasts a full 24 hours while the wild pansy extract helps prevent water loss in the skin.

This has been my go-to mask with the crazy weather lately - one day it's cold the next day it's nice - my skin is confused and looks it. This mask has been perfect for balancing everything out after being in the cold!

Available at Shoppers Drug Mart.

MyFaceWorks I Need to Replenish Mask - box of 6 - $55 - brightens, clarifies and makes skin appear more youthful within minutes.

What's fun and different about these is that they are sheet masks - a soft, cloth-like material soaked in nourishing ingredients and designed to perfectly fit your face - which make them perfect for travel or use on the go. As an added bonus, they have a very "Jason" like effect when on which make them perfect for sneaking around corners and scaring the crap out of your husband!

The masks also come in 12 other formulas to solve just about every skin issue you can think of! Available at ebeauty.ca

Mary Kay Timewise Moisture Renewing Gel Mask - 85g - $26 - with a super hydrating, age-fighting formula that nourishes and pampers skin while firming, smoothing and refining skin texture. Skin appears less stressed and pores diminished.

My favourite thing about this mask are the botanical extracts that make it smell amazing and are meant to relax you. I like to use this mask while in the tub - 20 minutes later, I am blissfully relaxed head to toe!

Available exclusively through your Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant. If you don't have one you can find one at www.marykay.ca or call 1-866-455-5454.

IQ Derma Essentials Glacial Hydrating Gel Mask - 50ml - $35  - deeply hydrates moisture-deprived skin to maintain softness and suppleness as well as preserve and protect skin against environmental free radical attacks. Plumps and hydrates to reduce the appearance of dull, dry skin and preserves and protects skin against environmental free radical attacks.

I love how ultra-soothing it is, how my skin looks visibly plumped after using and is so soft to the touch. You only need a really thin layer of this one for it to do its thing which means this tube is going to last me for ages!

Available at ebeauty.ca in Canada and dermstore.com in the US.
