Making sure to keep your skin moisturized is especially important during the colder, dryer months. One of the ways you can nourish your complexion is by using jelly masks, which are rich in hydrating ingredients that also brighten and soothe your skin. Jelly masks come in tubes, jars, and pumps and have a gel-like consistency. Here, we go over the benefits of using some of the most common jelly types of jelly masks.
Cucumber Masks
Cucumber is a super-ingredient packed with vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that can combat irritated, swollen, or sunburnt skin.

Do No Harm
Jelly masks are meant to give your skin a boost, but that doesn’t mean they can’t do more harm than good. Always follow the instructions on the label. If your skin is sensitive, do a patch test before applying it to your face. Look out for redness, dryness, or hives.
If you’re unsure about trying a jelly mask at home, the next time you get a chance to have a spa day, make sure to look into jelly mask treatments that cater to your needs.
