A detoxifying agent with a triple "dose" of hyaluronic acid, with an extract of aloe, lemon and pine from the taiga, with a rose and blueberry scent that will cool the skin and nourish it with moisture - the editors of BeautyHack have chosen the best beauty assistants for a hot summer.
Moisturizing face mask with hyaluronic acid Dermask Water Jet Vital Hydra Solution, Dr. Jart +
Tested by BeautyHack editor Daria Sizova
In the summer, my skin becomes even drier than usual, and begs for water as desperately as dying in the desert. I practice the waterless method of washing (the water from the tap of my Moscow apartment is very harmful to the skin, provoking dryness and inflammation), but thermal water and moisturizing masks are the very life-giving "glass of water" for my face in hot weather.
This summer my choice fell on a reputable Korean brand that first introduced us to BB creams and toners. First of all, due to the ease of use of the products and the philosophy of the brand - experts approach the issue of beauty from the point of view of skin health and apply advanced technologies in the fight for a healthy complexion, getting rid of rashes and wrinkles.
So in this product: the new structure of Aquaxyl of natural origin "catches" free water - it helps to accumulate liquid and lose it less. The skin's hydrobalance is restored in a natural way - now it is clear where long-term, not "false" moisturizing comes from.
And there is also panthenol in the composition - in summer it is especially relevant when the skin is irritated by aggressive city rays and Moscow dust.
In the evening I committed an almost mortal sin - I ate half a jar of pickles for dinner, and in the morning I did not recognize myself in the mirror - the skin was dry before my eyes and seemed to shrink. I applied the mask for 20 minutes, removed the residue from the face and applied a day cream (my favorite for all occasions is here. The face was instantly transformed - the skin looked nourished, fresh, velvety to the touch, and the complexion became radiant. What is valuable, the hydration was preserved. until the end of the day, and did not disappear without a trace after a couple of hours.

Mask-concentrate for instant skin restoration Instant Renewal Concentrate Mask, Kiehl's
Tested by BeautyHack editor Julia Kozoliy
I know you also love Kiehl’s masks: night with parsley and orange extracts, moisturizing with squalane and radiance with turmeric. Finally, the brand also released fabric masks for those who every time regret a place in their suitcase for these miraculous jars.
Сoncentrate Mask is a brand new product. I have already tested two of the four masks included in the kit. And twice I had good reasons for that: I needed to urgently restore my skin after two flights and moisturize it after a few days spent under the sun in the country with a child. I put the remaining two in a vacation cosmetic bag, because they need to be used as an sos-remedy - the effect is really instant.
The masks are hydrogel, but they do not slip in the package - they contain several oils of Amazonian plants with unpronounceable names. All you need to know about these products is super hydration and skin cooling that is felt within 15 minutes after application. The tool removes swelling well, I see the lifting effect (those who like to eat salty at night and drink an extra cup of tea will appreciate it!).
One mask is divided into two parts: for the upper and lower areas of the face. It fits snugly, but I advise you to refrain from active actions - the product will creep to the neck. The remnants of the mask after removing the fabric base are absorbed quickly and do not leave a film-like feeling on the skin - a rare case for an oil-based mask!
Price: 3 300 rub.
The True Rich Cream Aqua Hydrogel Mask, I'm Sorry For My Skin
Tested by editorial assistant Karina Ilyasova
A well-known Korean brand will always help us to apologize to our skin - no matter how hard we try to keep it in good shape, something will be missing. In the summer, my skin lacks moisture, and the mask helped very much to cope with this problem.
The tissue base is densely saturated with serum with a creamy consistency. It contains a complex of long-term skin moisturizing AMF, which maintains moisture in the epidermis for 120 hours. I checked - the skin really stayed hydrated for several days.
Many people do not like fabric masks for discomfort - the base strives to stick to the face, leaving a sticky feeling, the product flows down the neck, preventing movement. Everything is different here: the mask is divided into two parts - upper and lower, which exactly follow the contours of your face. Therefore, it is convenient to apply the mask - nothing will leak out of your ears.
Price: 795 rub.
Sheet mask Bear Aurora Illuminating Mask, The Oozoo
Tested by BeautyHack special correspondent Anna Bond
For a long time I have had tender feelings for the two-phase masks of the Korean brand (especially those with syringes) - they can replace express care at a beautician. I also like the approach to the beauty procedure: in order to mix the components, you need to carry out an interesting manipulation (but this is not for the sake of the beauty of the concept - in different sealed packages, the components of the products are stored longer and do not lose their useful properties).
Everything is simpler with this mask than with syringes - you just need to press the ear of the space bear Uzu.
And then magic happens - the skin tone improves instantly, the pores tighten, and the skin acquires a natural glow that seems to come from within. I applied the product in the morning to cleansed skin, left it on for 10 minutes and spread the remaining serum over the skin. Then I started to make up - the mask replaced my shine primer, thanks to the radiant particles in the serum. The foundation lay on the skin very evenly, and the makeup lasted until the end of the day. In general, space!

Sheet mask with aloe extract Aloe, SkinFood
Tested by BeautyHack Editor Natalia Kapitsa
My oily skin got acquainted with gels based on aloe for a long time - these plants have excellent regenerating and anti-inflammatory properties. It is practically a "panacea" for rashes, dryness and other dermatological problems.
Mask from SkinFood is "food" that the skin "eats" with pleasure and without a trace. Aloe soothes by stimulating skin renewal processes, evens out complexion and has a detox effect. The product does not clog pores and perfectly moisturizes - small peeling has died and disappeared without a trace.
In the summer, when the thermometer crawls over thirty, I put the mask in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes and only then I apply it to my face. The cool fabric soaked in a healing "cocktail" instantly refreshes, relieving fatigue and puffiness - after that, even the brain starts to work faster. The mask has a slight lifting effect: it smoothes fine wrinkles around the eyes.
Price: about 150 rubles.
Two-phase sheet mask for the face with lemon Secret Garden Lemon Oil Ampoules Mask, Sally's Box
Tested by BeautyHack special correspondent Anna Bond
We have already told you about a new Korean brand that has already won the hearts of Russian girls. Instant effect, vivid packaging and the story of the girl Sally, who can choose masks for any occasion in life - are not all reasons to fall in love with the brand!
I really love two-phase products and natural formulations, so I immediately decided to try the mask with lemon. I decided to take a chance - I applied the product as the first step of leaving before an important event, and I was right!
An ampoule with lemon oil in a duet with a fabric base in 15 minutes improved complexion, toned and made the skin glow. I also noticed a slight lifting effect - the skin became more toned. In the "bottom line" - this is the ideal sos-tool, which should always be at hand for a special occasion!

Calming Sheet Mask, NOHJ
Tested by the special correspondent of Beautyhack Daria Mironova
I really love the beauty products of Korean brands, and fabric masks are my daily beauty routine. I try to do them every time I have free time - in my opinion, this is the fastest and most effective way to moisturize the skin.
The soothing mask is perfect for every day care. The product has a tissue base that is impregnated with a special serum. What pleased us, there is a lot of serum - it dries for a long time, saturating the skin with moisture, but does not flow down the chin (although it is better to lie down with a mask).
It has a very rich composition: aloe extract, which penetrates into the deep layers of the epidermis and smoothes fine wrinkles, eliminating irritation and dryness, and prickly pear extract with antibacterial properties. But the most valuable component is Centella extract, which enhances collagen synthesis in the deep layers of the skin, strengthens blood vessels and improves skin nutrition - as a result, you see radiant, smooth and toned skin.
I applied the mask to cleansed skin after applying toner (you can find the most effective ones here). The skin looked rested, refreshed and hydrated. Nicely, the effect lasted until the end of the day. And if you do such masks regularly, you will forget about dryness and peeling as a nightmare.
Price: 195 rub.
Mask Line Rose Sheet, Secret Nature
Tested by the special correspondent of Beautyhack Daria Mironova
We talked about the wonderful properties of the rose and the effect it has on the skin in our selection. I decided to try to enhance the tonic effect by adding a face mask.
The remedy will appeal to those who love the smell of this flower - within 15 minutes the whole room was filled with the aromas of a blooming garden (additional effect of aromatherapy).
The product is designed for dry and irritated skin (this is also indicated by panthenol in the composition). I apply the product in the morning, and after 15 minutes the redness disappears, the skin becomes even, and the complexion becomes radiant.
Price: about 100 rubles.
Intense Hydration & Renewal Aqua Sheet Mask, NOHJ
Tested by BeautyHack SMM Manager Alexandra Grishina
A sheet mask is a real salvation when you need to urgently put your skin in order: prepare the skin for make-up, get rid of a dull complexion or peeling, and delight it with deep moisturizing at night.
This tool saved me right in the workplace. I have an oily skin type and I confess, I have not done peeling for a long time. The result turned out to be on the face - the tonal agent stopped lying on the skin in an even layer and emphasized peeling. The situation needed to be saved, and I applied the remedy right behind the computer.
The first thing I noticed was a good impregnation of the fabric base. But the amount of serum is right, does not flow down the chin, but moisturizes the entire face well. Redness and peeling literally disappeared from my face (thanks to the extract of licorice and aloe in the composition), and the skin became moisturized and radiant - I applied the foundation without problems (and the rest of the serum worked great as a makeup base).
Price: 195 rub.
Moisturizing mask with blueberries Blueberry Hydrating Mask, Frudia
Tested by BeautyHack special correspondent Anna Bond
The mouth-watering yoghurt-shaped packaging hints that there will definitely be something “tasty” inside. Indeed, the product has an amazing blueberry aroma, the main thing is not to eat the mask!
More than 50% of the composition is blueberry extract, which instantly softens and moisturizes the skin. The tissue base is made of plant fibers - it adheres very tightly to the skin and the "delivery" of nutrients is faster.
I applied the product in the evening after a hard day and thick make-up - the skin was dry and dull. I applied the product for 20 minutes and spread the remaining serum over my face. In the morning, the skin looked rested, fresh and radiant - I didn't even need a highlighting makeup base.
Price: 220 rub.
Tissue-gel S. O. S. after-sun mask Jelly Mask Soothing, I'm Sorry For My Skin
Tested by BeautyHack SMM Manager Alexandra Grishina
On vacation this season I have not yet gone, but the skin managed to burn in the sun near Moscow. I was so happy with the first summer rays that I slightly overdid it with sunbathing, and by the evening my face turned red and was extremely irritated - it was painful even to touch it.
The Korean brand's remedy apologized to my skin for me - the mask saved the situation in 20 minutes, living up to the name. The redness subsided and the skin became hydrated.
The product has a gel texture - be sure to crush the package before opening and let the gel evenly saturate the fabric base. And I have a small beauty hack - a gel that will remain in the package (and there is a lot of it, manufacturers are generous with nutritional components in the composition and amount of the product), apply to the neck, décolleté and elbows. These zones will give you a special "thank you" for the extra hydration!
Price: 335 rub.
Mask for the skin around the eyes Lily Brighten + Hydrate, Manefit
Tested by editorial assistant Karina Ilyasova
Ideal for hot summer - it cools the skin of the eyelids and nourishes the area under the eyes with moisture. Bonus - the product perfectly helps to relax (the tissue base is so delicate that it works like a natural sleeping pill - I applied the mask after a working day and fell asleep instantly).
I have very thin and delicate skin around my eyes, but the mask did not harm, but rather calmed the irritation. I noticed that the product smoothed out fine wrinkles and got rid of the "blue" under the eyes - the look became healthier and more radiant.
Price: about 600 rubles.
Mask Energy & Moisturizing Fresh Capsule Mask - Rose Petal, The Oozoo
Tested by BeautyHack SMM Manager Alexandra Grishina
With the products of this Korean brand, the usual beauty routine turns into a real adventure: to apply the mask, you first need to catch the dragon (crush the capsule), then find the key (distribute the liquid from the sealed packaging over the fabric base), and only then save the princess (apply the mask on the face).
The product works on the principle of "energizer" - it charges the skin with energy by 100% (after application, the face seems to glow from the inside). The effect is achieved due to the "powerful" composition - damask rose petal oil and a complex of 10 vitamins.
The product also perfectly moisturizes the skin (something that we lack so much in the heat). I apply the mask in the morning after washing, keep it on the skin for 15 minutes, and distribute the rest of the product over the face with hammering movements - freshness is guaranteed until the end of the day!
Price RUB 750
Mask Lifting and Moisturizing Fresh Capsule Mask - Cocoon Silk, The Oozoo
Tested by BeautyHack SMM Manager Alexandra Grishina
In the heat, I want not only hydration and natural radiance of the skin, but also its tightening - always looking for a product with a noticeable lifting effect (preferably after the first application).
I thought I wanted too much, but I got into my hands a mask with silk peptides that penetrate into the deep layers of the skin, killing two birds with one stone - moisturizing and tightening the skin.
But the brand decided that silk alone was not enough, and added an exclusive collagen complex and a triple (!!!) dose of hyaluronic acid to the "magic" capsule, which must be burst before use - this "combo" multiplies the effect many times over.
I apply the mask once a week, and I see a tangible difference - the skin has become taut, elastic and very moisturized (on days when I apply the mask, I even avoid day cream, which is nonsense for me).
Price: 750 rub.
Mask Moisturizing and Nourishing Golden Therapy Sheet Mask, NOHJ
Tested by BeautyHack special correspondent Anastasia Lyagushkina
The packaging with the magic 3D capsule captivated me at first sight. My skin always needs hydration, so sheet masks are a significant part of my beauty routine. With this mask I felt like a goldfish - the design resembles a scale (great mask for Instagram!).
The first thing that pleases me is a large amount of serum, in which the tissue base literally floats. The composition also contains 24-carat colloidal gold (gold blotches are visible on a black base, and after removing the product, gold particles remain on the face).
After use, the skin becomes softer, softer, and of course hydrated! The rest of the product is absorbed in 10-15 minutes, leaving no excess film. The face immediately looks refreshed and rested.
Price: 195 rub.
Moisturizing Mask + Cherry Blossom Shine, Garnier
Tested by BeautyHack special correspondent Anna Bond
Real beauticians have long been familiar with the launch of the French brand's masks. The value for money makes it possible to integrate these products into my daily skin care routine, and the Moisturizing + Antistress mask always stays in my refrigerator (this way the active ingredients last longer and the result from the application becomes more noticeable).
A mask with sakura extract promises hydration, radiance and restoration of a healthy complexion. And he does not deceive - I subscribe to each item! The wow effect is achieved due to hyaluronic acid and moisturizing serum in the composition.
I especially liked using the mask before an important event, when the skin was already tired during the day. I see the result immediately after application - the product removes small peeling, smoothes the skin, gives it a rested, well-groomed look - I myself shone like sakura in spring!
Price: 159 rub.
Moisturizing Facial Sheet Mask, Clean Line
Tested by BeautyHack editor Daria Sizova
A wonderful Russian brand produces my favorite face scrubs - it is attracted by the composition, effect and price. She was curious about a mask that promises an effect like after a salon procedure. And not in vain - the result did not disappoint.
The main component in the composition is boreal pine extract (this is the one that grows in the real Russian taiga). The component worked on my face as an instant toner - the skin became toned, and the complexion became healthier.
The product also moistened the skin with a bang. I applied the mask for 15 minutes after the shower, and there was no trace of the morning tightness. The skin has become softer (especially if the result is “fixed” with a good moisturizing face cream).
Price: about 100 rubles.
