Shop Face Masks at The Body Shop

We group our face masks for skin by format, because the format decides how you use each one. The Charcoal Pore-Minimising Mask is a clay face mask that contains charcoal, and the Tea Tree 3-in-1 Wash, Scrub & Mask is a clay-based wash, scrub, and mask that features tea tree oil. If you want a face mask for exfoliating, there's the Ginseng & Rice Clarifying Polishing Mask. The Vitamin C Glow, Vitamin E Quench, Aloe Soothing, and Edelweiss Serum Concentrate Sheet Masks each take 15 minutes, and the Edelweiss Bouncy Sleeping Mask stays on overnight. The Glow Up Bundle and the Skin Reset Bundle are skincare bundles that pair a mask with two other routine steps.

What's the difference between a clay mask, a sheet mask, and a sleeping mask?

A clay mask, such as the Charcoal Pore-Minimising Mask, is a paste you spread on and rinse off. A sheet mask, such as the Aloe Soothing Sheet Mask, is a sheet that you smooth over your face and then peel away. A sleeping mask, such as the Edelweiss Bouncy Sleeping Mask, is a lightweight gel-cream that stays on overnight. Each format suits a different point in your day or evening.

Which face mask is best for dry skin?

The Vitamin E Quench Sheet Mask suits all skin types, including dry and sensitive skin, and it contains vitamin E, hyaluronic acid, and raspberry seed oil. The Edelweiss Serum Concentrate Sheet Mask and the Edelweiss Bouncy Sleeping Mask suit all skin types too. If you want a moisturising face mask, the Aloe Soothing Sheet Mask is one of our hydrating masks, and it's formulated to calm dry, sensitive skin. Each of these masks fits a routine for dry skin.

How do I choose a face mask for my skin?

Start with what your skin needs, then pick the format that fits your routine. The Charcoal, Ginseng & Rice, and Tea Tree masks suit oily skin, and the two Edelweiss masks are among our picks for dull-looking skin. For sensitive skin, try the Aloe mask or either Edelweiss mask. Good face masks for one skin type don't always suit another, so check the suitability details on each product before you choose.

Is there a face mask that exfoliates?

Yes, the Ginseng & Rice Clarifying Polishing Mask is a creamy mask that you smooth onto cleansed skin and rinse off with warm water, using circular motions to exfoliate. Along with the Vitamin C Glow Sheet Mask, it's one of our picks for glowing skin. You also rinse the Charcoal Pore-Minimising Mask off in circular motions to exfoliate, and the Tea Tree 3-in-1 Wash, Scrub & Mask works as a scrub when you massage it into wet skin. If you'd rather exfoliate without a mask, liquid peels and polishes do that job on their own.

How do you use a face mask?

Good face mask skin care starts with clean skin, so wash your face with a cleanser first. Apply the mask away from your eyes and lips, and leave it on for the time the pack gives, as each product sets its own timing. With a sheet mask, smooth it on from the forehead, ease out any creases, and then peel it away and massage the leftover liquid into your skin. Afterwards, follow with a serum or essence and your usual face moisturiser, or finish with the sleeping mask at night. You can also try multi-masking, where you apply different masks to different areas of your face in one session and remove each one when its own time is up.
