If you don't have time to make it to the spa anytime soon, this pumpkin-powered peel offers a great step-in treatment that truly rivals a professional facial. There's no doubt about the tingling action with this mask; you might even call it a "stingle!" It's made with 5 percent lactic acid, pumpkin enzymes (yes, it smells like pumpkin), amino acids, and beta carotene. Your skin looks noticeably brighter after one use, but the tub has a good 10 to 15 uses.
This one's more of a toner than a mask, but we'd be remiss to not include it in this tingly skincare roundup. A blend of salicylic and lactic acid exfoliates your skin and boosts cell renewal while sulfur and glycerin combat large pores, redness, acne and fine lines. Its tingling action has been described as "potent" and "intense" and people have even compared it to the famous Biologique Recherche P50 toner.
For a different kind of tingle, try Bliss' Triple Oxygen Mask. The brand launched the product after the instant — and ongoing — success of its Triple Oxygen Facial, which is offered at their spas across the country. The idea was to allow fans to bring the famous facial into their home (well, at least a part of it), and it works on the same principle of infusing skin with bubbling oxygen action. It invigorates, clarifies, and boosts radiance.
For an all-natural skincare treatment that creates a gentle tingle, give this enzymatic mask a try. As the name indicates, it's formulated with natural enzymes — papaya, turmeric and pumpkin, to be exact — that exfoliate and brighten your skin even after a single use. It also contains a black willow bark (a natural form of salicylic acid) as well as argan oil and shea butter to nourish and hydrate.
Heralded by beauty junkies near and far, this Sunday Riley cult-favorite is a lactic acid dessert for your face. It's a unique formulation that combines purified lactic acid (that you can feel working right away) with licorice root and lemongrass extracts to brighten (they also make the product smell so good). It also contains prickly pear and aloe extracts to calm skin. Some people like to combine it with the brand's Ceramic Slip cleanser as a "Flash Fix" treatment. (You can buy them as a duo here.)
