The Best Face Masks For Sensitive Skin
Those of us with sensitive skin know that slapping on a spontaneous face mask is simply a no-go.
Whilst those glitter infused, peel-off formulas that smell like candy-floss are tempting, we know our skin will undoubtedly pay the price. So, we reach for that bland old tub of E45 once more and are left feeling nothing but totally unsatisfied with our skin care routine.
It doesn't have to all be doom and gloom, though. There are indulgent options out there, you just have to look in the right place. The right place being *drum roll* Cosmetify.
Keep scrolling as we round up the best face masks for sensitive skin, and don't forget to visit our guide to face masks if there's anything more you want to know.
