We're all suckers for a great moisturizing mask, but sometimes your skin craves something a little bit extra... like a tingly treatment that you can literally feel working its magic on your face the after you've applied it. Maybe it's a bubbly mask that sweeps away gunk and grime from your pores, or perhaps it's a high-quality, at-home enzyme peel that lifts old skin cells to reveal a bright and glowy complexion. Whatever the case, today we're featuring 8 masks that tingle so good (but don't hurt) that you can add to your skin care collection.
Give it up for the bees... and for Farmacy Beauty, of course, which has done the most excellent job concocting a honey-rich AHA peel that makes your skin look amazing. The second you apply, a buzzing sensation takes over your face, thanks to a potent 10 percent blend of lactic, glycolic, citric, and fruit acids that get busy right away to exfoliate dead skin cells and even out your complexion. The mask also contains 3 percent flower acids to further exfoliate, 1 percent salicylic acid to clarify, and hyaluronic acid to boost hydration.
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.
