Does your skin feel tight, hot and red with the cold? I reveal to you those which are, in my opinion, the best face masks to soothe it immediately. I have tested and validated them for you, and I will help you choose the one best suited to your skin.
Just like the sun, the cold can affect the skin’s natural protective barrier, to the point of damaging it and making it much less effective in protecting it from everyday aggressions. When this happens, the skin quickly becomes much drier, it is also more permeable, which makes it more sensitive. With her reactivity, she can also experience the discomfort of having redness more or less intense and persistent. Not great when they already accompany a red nose because of common cold !
When adopting the right facial care routine according to your skin type in winter is no longer enough, and special facial creams for sensitive skin or their ultra-soothing counterparts fail to help you find comfort on a daily basis either, it’s time to use a soothing face mask. It is the ideal treatment to calm reactive skin which is sensitized by the cold, because it will intensely rehydrate the skin and restore its protective barrier natural in order to soothe it. Some even offer real effectiveness anti-redness which is very appreciable. So I present to you my favorite face masks in this category, super practical SOS care in winter !

The Cicapair Sleepair Intensive mask from Dr.Jart+
It is the ideal night mask for sensitive and reactive skin. I love its gel-cream texture which is very pleasant to spread and which does not leave a sticky finish on the face, which is essential for a treatment you apply before going to sleep. Its tiger grass formula is ultra soothing and I see a clear difference when I wake up. And for good reason, it contains several plant extracts, as well as probiotics and bamboo vinegar which strengthen the skin barrier so that the skin defends itself better against small daily aggressions which irritate it and make it red. When you wake up, no more redness on sensitive areas! The skin is significantly more even and visibly soothed.
Avène Calm Anti-Redness Mask
Ideal for skin that heats up due to the winter cold, this mask targets unsightly redness at the root by boosting blood microcirculation thanks to its formula based on hesperidin methyl chalcone (a citrus extract) which allows to reduce redness quickly. What I notice the most when I use it is that it brings a feeling of soothing freshness upon application thanks to its evolving texture which melts into water on the skin. I use it as an SOS treatment with my sensitive skin, but it can also be applied as a treatment in case of persistent irritation. It quickly reduces unpleasant sensations of discomfort and tightness by creating a protective film on the surface of the skin, which restores more suppleness. To benefit from its anti-redness effect, apply it in a thick layer to the face and let its formula act for around ten minutes before removing any excess using a tissue. You will quickly see the difference!

Origins Drink Up Intensive avocado mask
If you want to make this soothing gesture a pure moment of pleasure, I can only recommend this moisturizing night mask with avocado, apricot kernel oil and Swiss glacier water, which is perfect for dry skin… but also for dehydrated skin! I love its rich and very creamy texture with an ultra “cocooning” effect, which has the advantage of spreading well on the face without leaving any traces. Not too oily, I still recommend adapting the dose applied according to skin type, being more generous on dry to very dry skin than on skin that suffers from dehydration. Beyond its undeniable effectiveness (no more dehydration lines upon waking up), it’s its divine scent that I can no longer do without.
