The At-Home, One-Step Facials That Will Deep Clean Your Pores

Magic Stripes

Magnetic Youth Mask, $22 at Barneys 

Magic Stripes is the brainchild of Natalie Franz (makeup artist to the likes of Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and Alessandra Ambrosio) so it's fitting that this is one of the fastest-acting masks. Not only will it work to hydrate your skin, it's a great post-binge, depuffing mask. 

Shangpree

Sparkling Mask, $6 at Barneys

Have your Freddy Krueger moment as you rid skin of blackhead-causing debris with this unique bubbling mask. 

Sonya Dakar

Flash Facial, $95 at Sonya Dakar

If you're looking for a quick-yet-astonishing difference in your skin, beeline for this one-minute wonder. It's an exfoliating gel, so it will remove dead skin cells, preventing clogged pores and boosting glow in the process. 

Dermalogica

Stress Positive Eye Lift Eye Mask, $68 at Dermalogica

Puffy, tired eyes? This is the one-step facial product for you. 

Neogen

Super Hydra Aqua Capsule Mask (5 Pack), $25 at Soko Glam

It doesn't get fresher than this mask. Each product contains a hyaluronic acid-filled ampoule capsule that you break and pour over a sheet mask. This hydrating option is perfect for dry winter skin. 

Murad

InstaMatte Oil-Control Mask, $39 at Murad

This is an amazing product that can work for acne-prone skin daily as a cleanser or weekly as a wash-off mask. Even though it's water-based, it feels hydrating on skin and will leave a matte finish. 

Manefit

Bling Bling Hydrogel Mask, $6 at Soko Glam

This cooling mask is a great pick-me-up after a long week or late night out.

COSRX

One Step Moisture Up Kit, $6 at Ulta Beauty

The packaging of this all-in-one K-beauty kit is enough to help ward off the Sunday scaries. In addition to the hydrating Holy Moly Snail Mask, you'll get cleanser and a smoothing pad. 

JJ Young

Pore Glow Mask, $11.41 at Amazon

This is a deep-cleaning mask formulated with menthol (so avoid if you're not a fan of that cooling effect). It's a great choice if you've slept in a full face of makeup and need a detox for your skin.

Mimi Luzon

Wonder Mask, $279 at Mimi Luzon

Her gold mask may get most of the social media glory, but don't overlook Mimi Luzon's silver mask, which works particularly well to fight signs of redness (think: seborrheic dermatitis or rosacea-prone skin).

Eco Your Skin

Butter Buffing Mask, $27 at Peach & Lily

Formulated with nine kinds of grains to exfoliate as well as various oils and honey to hydrate, this mask also happens to look, as its name suggests, like butter.

This thick, knit mask is saturated in 60 milliliters of concentrated wrinkle-fighting product, so make sure to get it on your entire face and neck. 

Korean beauty brands are lightyears ahead when it comes to one-step, at-home skin care. They’ve got everything from sheet masks soaked with active ingredients to bubbling face masks that blast away impurities, and it seems like there’s an innovation weekly.

You don’t have to be into newfangled products, however, to appreciate deep-cleaning at-home treatments that yield results similar to those you’d get in a salon. Brands like Dermalogica and Murad also have one-step facial buys that most beauty experts consider essential for healthy skin, particularly as seasons change.

“Skin care should be adjusted based on your skin’s specific needs, and we can track those more easily with the seasons,” says Di Medlock, who works in spa operations at Exhale. “While changing your full skin care regimen four times per year might not be an option, masks are a fantastic way to address these types of situational problems.”

For those prone to oily skin (especially during the humid summertime), she recommends a charcoal- or clay-based mask to clear pores and reduce breakouts. For dry or sensitive skin during winter, Medlock recommends reaching for sheet or gel masks with hyaluronic acid, aloe, honey or turmeric.

Skin cells turn over about every four weeks, says Medlock, so give masks time to work by using them consistently. But more isn’t always better; you don’t want to irritate or suffocate skin. “Overusing stronger skin care like masks, exfoliants or serums can strip the skin of its natural lipid layer or drown the pores with more moisture than they could possibly absorb; if you’re finding that a once-per-week mask isn’t doing the trick, it’s time to see an esthetician or a dermatologist for help,” says Medlock.

And that goes for skin of any gender. Men’s skin may be thicker and more oily, but it, too, suffers as seasons change. “It’s equally important for men to use masks and peels, especially around the eye area,” says Mimi Luzon, the facialist behind the Victoria’s Secret Angels. If you’re not seeing results from a weekly mask, another option is to add a serum booster like vitamin C to your routine. “Boosters and masks have a high concentration of active ingredients in them, but boosters can be used daily.”

These are the at-home, one-step facials that will help with a myriad of skin care battles while revealing your freshest, glowiest skin.
