Types of Face Masks: Which One Is Right for Your Skin Concerns?

Last updated: 16/10/2025

Face masks are one of the easiest ways to give your skin a concentrated treatment at home. Different types of face masks are designed to target specific concerns, from dryness and fine lines to dullness and congestion. The key is knowing which mask will work best for your needs. 

While, of course, masks can never work solo, Perricone MD Director of Education, Rosalba Martone shares that, “Incorporating them into your existing skincare routine is a nice boost to achieve your desired results. Whether it’s delivering instant hydration or purifying skin, these benefits surpass that of just a moisturiser or cleanser alone.”

Find the Right Mask for Your Concern 

Concern: Dullness or Uneven Tone 

Try:Cold Plasma Plus+ The Intensive Gel Mask 

When skin looks dull or uneven, it often needs hydration and gentle resurfacing. This gel mask delivers moisture while smoothing rough texture and helping to improve radiance. With peptides, omegas and phospholipids, it helps protect the skin barrier and supports a brighter, more youthful appearance. 

Best for: anyone looking for a brightening face mask to improve uneven tone and achieve glowing skin. 

Concern: Dryness or Dehydration 

Try:High Potency Hyaluronic Intensive Hydrating Mask 

If your skin feels tight, flaky or uncomfortable, it is likely dehydrated. This rich cream mask is a powerful moisturising face mask that uses a Hyaluronic 4 + 2 Complex to deliver hydration at multiple levels of the skin. With added DMAE and shea butter, it leaves the skin feeling plump, soft and refreshed. Rosalba recommends this mask after sun exposure when the skin has lost moisture. 

Best for:dry or dehydrated skin that needs a moisturising face mask for lasting hydration and comfort. 

Concern: Congestion or Excess Oil 

Try:Chlorophyll Detox Mask 

Excess oil and clogged pores often need a deep cleansing face mask. This gel-to-clay formula activates on contact as chlorophyll microcapsules burst to help detoxify and purify. It reduces the look of pores and leaves the skin balanced and refreshed without over-drying. 

Best for: combination or oily skin that needs a deep cleansing face mask to minimise the look of pores and rebalance the complexion. 

Concern: Skin That Needs an Instant Boost 

Try:Cold Plasma Plus+ Concentrated Treatment Sheet Mask 

When skin looks tired, this concentrated sheet mask is the quick solution. Infused with vitamin C ester, copper tripeptide and phospholipids, it instantly brightens, hydrates and smooths the complexion. It is ideal before an event, after travel or anytime your skin needs fast results. 

Best for: tired, stressed skin in need of quick results with a hydrating face mask that boosts radiance. Also suitable as a face mask for radiation recovery or environmental stress. 

Masking Tips 

  • Always apply masks to clean skin for best results 
  • Use 1 to 3 times per week depending on your concern 
  • Multi-mask by applying different types of face masks to different areas of the face 
  • Finish with serum or moisturiser to lock in the benefits 

With the right mask, you can target your specific concern and give your skin the extra care it needs. Whether you are looking for hydration, radiance, firming or deep cleansing, Perricone MD offers a mask that fits perfectly into your routine.
