10 Foaming Face Masks You Have To Try

I'll be honest: face masks have gotten pretty weird in the past couple of years. There are sheet masks that can transform you into a panda, peel-off Tin Man masks, and even masks that you can remove with a magnet. But if you can only try one of these strange facials, make it an oxygenating face mask. You know, the ones that bubble up and make people's faces look like pretty clouds? Yes, they appear and can even feel totally bizarre, but they work.

Typically, oxygenating face masks work to remove impurities from the skin and clean out your pores. But unlike other purifying masks, these won't dry out your skin. Sure, you have to sit through a few minutes of popping bubbles tickling your nose and cheeks. But if you can resist the urge to scratch, you'll be left with a clean and refreshed mug. While all oxygenating face masks will give you those fun bubbles, there are still different types worth trying. Some will work as a peel so you can actually see your dead skin cells being exfoliated, while others contain physical exfoliators or ingredients like charcoal for extra decongesting power. So you can play Santa Claus while revitalizing your skin, here are 10 oxygenating face masks worth trying:
