While many of us associate the summer months with oilier skin due to the higher temperatures and humidity, it can also be the time for increased skin dehydration if you’re that way inclined. This can be due to a little excess alcohol consumption (whoops), as well as time spent in the pool and the ocean, which can dry out even the slickest of skins over time. If you’re back at work chances are the aircon is also cranking, and we all know what too much time in the sun can do at any time of year.

With all of this in mind, we’ve put together a handy list of our favourite masks for addressing dehydration in the quickest way possible. And yep, we’ve included one for your butt as we’re all showing a bit more skin these days!

Trilogy Very Gentle Hydra-Mask

This certified natural mask from local beauty legends Trilogy is like a long, cool drink of water for the face. Called the Very Gentle Hydra-Mask for a reason, it hydrates as well as strengthens irritated skin barriers in need of a serious hydration boost.

It’s fragrance-free so great for even the most sensitised of skins and has been dermatologically tested for its non-irritating efficacy. Yummy ingredients found within include antioxidant-rich maqui berry to fight free radical damage, breakthrough botanical complex Syricalm® to calm, and sweet almond to deeply hydrate.

Suitable for all skin types but particularly very sensitive or reactive, we’ve found this is a great mask to have on hand if you happen to catch a little too much sun or miss a spot when slapping on that sunscreen.

Nuori Supreme Moisture Mask

We love 100 percent clean Scandi beauty brand Nuori, and their Supreme Moisture Mask comes highly recommended. Great for an instant hydration boost and also as an overnight treatment, it is highly concentrated but also super lightweight so perfect for dehydrated and distressed skin.

Like all Nuori products, it contains some beautiful – and unique! – natural ingredients, and in this case they include grape and Damask rose waters combined with natural hyaluronic acid to restore moisture levels. Botanical squalane and betaine are also in there to strengthen the skin’s barrier function, while anti-inflammatory chamomile extract reduces irritation and restores suppleness. Last up, Vitamin B3 revives skin tone, improves elasticity, and prevents moisture loss for plump, happy skin.

Plant Apothecary MATCHA Organic Antioxidant Face Mask

Not just for targeting dehydration, Plant Apothecary’s MATCHA Organic Antioxidant Face Mask is an anti-inflammatory dream. It combines the purifying properties of white clay with the powerful antioxidants of organic, fair-trade matcha (powdered green) tea, which has been proven to reduce inflammation and fight damaging free radicals. The blend also contains organic essential oil of chamomile, known for its soothing, anti-irritant properties, and it’s perfect for travel given its powdered formula. Just mix a teaspoon of powder and a few drops of water into a thin paste in your palm, apply to your face, let dry, and rinse off.

BAWDY Bite It Hydrating Toning Plant Based Collagen Butt Mask

We couldn’t write about masks without mentioning the formidable BAWDY, whose butt masks help combat gravity, and then some! Ideal for using on the regular especially during bikini season, they are formulated to tone and contour your behind as well as add some hydration when and where it’s needed.

Their Hydrating Toning Plant-Based Collagen Butt Mask uses super-powered skincare ingredients like plumping plant-based collagen, hydrating sodium hyaluronate, aloe leaf, and chamomile to deeply moisturise dry, dehydrated skin. Ideal for before or after a day at the beach or by the pool, we can’t help but love this beauty from BAWDY for its ability to deliver your Best Butt Ever.
