We also loved hypoallergenic LANEIGE Cica Sleeping Mask, which nourishes skin overnight, leaving it calm, smooth, and irritation-free by morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> As anyone with sensitive skin knows, trying new products can feel like a game of skincare roulette\u2014just one application can be enough to spark a complexion crisis. But having easily irritated skin doesn\u2019t mean you have to miss out on the buzziest new beauty formulas. It just might take extra vigilance when selecting the right one for you.\u00a0\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_3-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> \u201cHydrating and anti-inflammatory masks that are fragrance-free and non-exfoliating are ideal for sensitive skin types,\u201d says Claire O\u2019Bryan, FNP-C, co-founder of Skin Clique. \u201cLook for formulas labeled as \u2018soothing&#8217; or \u2018calming,\u2019 and avoid anything that claims to \u2018purify\u2019 or \u2018detox\u2019 as these often include harsher actives. The word &#8220;glow&#8221; can also mean exfoliating as well!\u201d she adds.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_4-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> We made it our mission to track down the best face masks for sensitive skin and put many of them to the test IRL. Our team of experts evaluated the formulas on active ingredients, texture, and overall results (especially how they made our skin feel immediately and over time). Ahead, find the best face masks that will improve the look and feel of skin without causing flare-ups.\u00a0\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"mm-trx-summary-list_1-0\" class=\"comp mm-trx-summary-list

finish. Loaded with natural amino acids, vitamins (including vitamin C), and peptides, the creamy yet lightweight mask deeply moisturizes the skin while also firming, brightening, and smoothing it. You can leave it to absorb for 10 minutes or let it sit overnight for extra nourishment. Our tester, who has sensitive skin, was a legitimate fan after using the formula for a month, noting that it quenched her dryness, eased her eczema flare-ups, and never once caused irritation.

O\u2019Bryan recommends looking for products featuring gentle, hydrating ingredients like niacinamide, ceramides, or colloidal oatmeal, which will help calm your skin and support your skin barrier with each application.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nourishing Formulas:<\/strong> \u201cCream or gel formulas are typically more soothing than clay or peel-off types,\u201d explains O\u2019Bryan. Creams, in particular, have a thicker, more luxurious texture that helps retain moisture. That being said, clay formulas and peel-offs aren\u2019t out of the question so long as they contain ingredients that add plenty of hydration to counteract any possible stripping effects.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Container Types:<\/strong> The best container for a sensitive skin face mask is an airless pump bottle or tube, both of which maintain the product\u2019s integrity, minimize contamination, and don\u2019t introduce irritants that might cause a flare-up. If your mask is in a jar, take care to use clean hands or a hygienic spatula when applying.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_45-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-faq--expanded beauty-sc-block-faq mntl-sc-block-faq mntl-block is-expanded\">\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block-faq__title_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-faq__title mntl-text-block\">FAQ<\/div>\n<ul id=\"mntl-sc-block-faq__content_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-faq__content mntl-accordion \" data-tracking-container=\"true\">\n<li class=\"accordion__item js-accordion-item is-active\" data-ordinal=\"1\">\n<div class=\"accordion__header js-accordion-trigger\" id=\"mntl-accordion__item_1-0-section-0\"><span class=\"accordion__title\">What ingredients should you avoid in face masks if you have sensitive skin?<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"accordion__body\">\n<div id=\"mntl-accordion__content_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-accordion__content\">\n<div class=\"faq-accordion__item-answer\">\n<p>The list of possible sensitive skin irritants is long and varies from person to person, but as a general rule, says O\u2019Bryan, \u201cavoid alcohol, fragrance, essential oils, menthol, and strong exfoliants like glycolic acid, as these can all trigger an inflammatory reaction.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"accordion__item js-accordion-item is-active\" data-ordinal=\"2\">\n<div class=\"accordion__header js-accordion-trigger\" id=\"mntl-accordion__item_2-0-section-1\"><span class=\"accordion__title\">How often should those with sensitive skin use face masks?<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"accordion__body\">\n<div id=\"mntl-accordion__content_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-accordion__content\">\n<div class=\"faq-accordion__item-answer\">\n<p>It\u2019s good to read the manufacturer\u2019s instructions, but you should see them as a suggestion rather than a rule.
