We've been big fans of multi-masking at Refinery29 for well over a year. It's the idea that, in order to give your skin the best possible masking experience, one should apply different masks to different areas of your face. It makes sense — especially for those with combination skin types. While your forehead and chin may be breakout-prone, you may be dry on your cheeks. And those issues require a different set of ingredients.
Luckily, skin-care companies are beginning to get on board with the idea of multi-masking. Over the past six months, we've seen a major spike in what we like to call spot-training masks — masks that target specific areas of your face and deliver the exact ingredients needed. So if you're in need of hydrated lips or a lifted jaw, look no further. Ahead, we've rounded up a handful of the coolest new masks for specific zones on your face.
Neck & Chest
It's true that our necks and chests are wildly neglected in the world of skin care. So aside from slathering on creams for those areas, bringing a mask into the mix may not be a bad thing. This one from Skin Laundry helps to brighten, hydrate, and reduce wrinkles with high concentrations of skin-strengthening niacinamide, moisturizing glycerin, and antioxidant tomato extract.
Skin Laundry Rejuvenating Anti-Aging Neck & Chest Mask, $15, available at Skin Laundry.
Lips
Is this not the cutest lip mask in the entire world? This gel mold from Etude House adheres to your lips to deliver cherry extract, which plumps and hydrates your pout. Plus, it looks hilarious/adorable on.
Etude House Cherry Lip Gel Patch, $1.65, available at Etude House.
"Apple Zone"
In case you didn't know, there is a part of your face that skin-care companies call the "apple zone" — a.k.a. the area under your eyes and down the sides of your nose. Apparently, this is the part of your face that soaks up the majority of the sun's rays, which is why it requires extra TLC. This butterfly shaped mask taps cherry blossom and chamomile extracts to hydrate and soothe.
Too Cool For School Applezone Butterfly Mask, $4.30, available at Korea Depart.
Forehead
Since foreheads tend to be prone to furrows, it makes sense that someone would make a sheet mask to soften our woes. Etude House has one that sits just above your eyebrows. Containing aloe extracts and cucumber, it smoothes and plumps in a snap.
Etude House Smooth Forehead Patch, $9.57, available at Korea Depart.
Jawline
Who needs a face lift when you can get a jaw lift? Dr. Jart+'s sheet mask only covers the bottom half of your face — around the mouth and along the lines of your chin. It's actually chock-full of collagen to quench fine lines and adenosine to tighten sagging skin.
Dr. Jart+ Dermask Spot Jet Laugh Line Lift, $12, available at Sephora.
Smile Lines
These days, you can't even smile without being told you're going to get a wrinkle. Well, we say nuts to that — but if you are interested in keeping things smooth around your mouth, there's a patch for that. This adorable little pack contains two masks that sit right around your lips and help promote hydration, elasticity, and firmness.
Tony Moly My Little Pet Wrinkle, $4.50, available at Ulta Beauty.
