I Tried 5 Resurfacing Face Masks and This One Was the Winner

Of all the different types of face masks, retexturizing masks have to be my favorite. Sure, I love a good charcoal mask to get rid of the gunk lodged in my pores or a hydrating mask when my skin needs a drink, but when I'm looking for spa-like results at home, a resurfacing mask is in order.

Retexturizing masks work to remove dead skin cells, regenerate cell turnover, dull hyperpigmentation and clear pores — leaving you with smoother, more even skin. They are so strong and effective, however, they should really only be used once a week. Many of these masks feature potent ingredients like alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) that exfoliate the surface of the skin or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) that work deep below the surface.

There are so many options, it's hard to know where to begin. Lucky for you, I donated my skin to science by testing out all the top resurfacing face masks to find the best of the best. Read on to find out how it went down.
