    If redness, irritation and sensitivity tend to make an unwelcome appearance on your complexion, a calming face mask could do just the trick to help soothe your sensitive skin.

    Check out the gallery below for some of the best face masks for sensitive skin, so you can get on your way to more refreshed and happy skin. Oh, and my favourite tip is to pop your soothing mask in the fridge for an extra hit of cooling relief.

    Gernétic Argini Soothing Mask

    Give sensitive and inflamed skin a break with this calming face mask. Formulated with kaolin, sweet almond oil and extracts of cucumber, witch hazel and chamomile, this mask will purify, tone and soothe skin, while also plumping it with essential fatty acids.

    Natio Clay and Plant Face Mask Purifier

    “The thing I did love about this product is how gentle it was. I could leave it on for ages and it didn't dry my skin out. I'd recommend it to anyone wanting a nice gentle mask that invigorates the skin without dehydration.” - bh member cat lover

    Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Masque

    “This makes my skin appear refreshed, calmed and recharged. It was a perfect pick-me-up for my skin (and my daughter's) recently on holiday when we both needed to give our skin a treatment masque. This masque seriously works into the skin to revive and refresh.” - bh member HuskyChub

    BIODERMA Sensibio Mask

    Free of fragrance, surfactant, parabens, and hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, this soft and creamy mask will soothe uncomfortable irritations instantly and work to bring moisture, comfort and radiance to the skin.

    Clinique Moisture Surge Overnight Mask

    “The cream is extra smooth in texture (if you can believe it) and absorbs right into and feels light on your skin with a slight cooling sensation. The next morning my skin feels smooth and super hydrated and I can see why people love this product.” - bh member Elunia

    /skin-care/face-masks/best-face-masks-sensitive-skin/clinique-moisture-surge-overnight-mask

    Avène Soothing Moisture Mask

    “Once a week, I will apply this mask to my face. I apply a thick layer and leave [it on] for around 15 minutes. I’ll then dampen a facial cloth slightly and dab off the excess product. I’m left with a soft and plump face that's deeply hydrated. Any skin irritations I have are soothed.” - bh member MoonStone

    /skin-care/face-masks/best-face-masks-sensitive-skin/av-ne-soothing-moisture-mask

    Lush Brazened Honey Fresh Face Mask

    “It smells wonderful, refines the skin, makes it softer and smoother and really refreshes your skin. My skin felt relaxed and wonderfully healthy and clean. Rinse it off and feel the difference. You will love the natural, yummy ingredients too.” - bh member Shop A Everyday

    /skin-care/face-masks/best-face-masks-sensitive-skin/lush-brazened-honey-fresh-face-mask

    Trilogy Sensitive Very Gentle Hydra-Mask

    Runner-up in the beautyheaven Glosscar Awards 2018, this mask ensures stressed-out skin feels soothed. Formulated with maqui berry oil, sweet almond and botanical complex SyriCalm® work together to reduce cell damage, redness and inflammation, boost moisture levels and strengthen the skin’s natural barrier function.

    The clinque mask really didn't impress me

    As for Lush masks - the BB Seaweed is way better for sensitive skin, so soothing and hydrating!
    Mayy 2 Feb 2019 8:25 AM
    Glad to see Lush on the list! They have some great masks!
    abbeyleee12 31 Jan 2019 8:42 AM
    avene is amazing would definatley reccommend!
    Gilded 30 Jan 2019 6:42 PM
    I don't have sensitive skin but I'll try a good gentle mask, nonetheless.
    Luna19 27 Jan 2019 3:02 PM
    Haven't tried any of these masks yet, I have heard really good thing about Trilogy though when it comes to sensitive skin
    Trish_D 27 Jan 2019 3:28 AM
    I've enjoyed scrolling back reading the comments for this but it's a little sad that so many members are no longer active on the forums and we still miss Rosemary who did this article originally.
    katrina176 26 Jan 2019 1:45 PM
    I haven't tried any of the masks mentioned. But would like to dry the Clinique over night mask.
    Tee631 25 Jan 2019 1:52 PM
    i love the lush masks
    Chrystalage 25 Jan 2019 1:11 AM
    A good mask is on my wanted list but I will do some more research before deciding.
    Yohanna 24 Jan 2019 12:04 PM
    Love Trilogy one. Atm using resurfacing masks, so may need soothing one after I overdo it as usual. hehe
    GeeJ 24 Jan 2019 10:49 AM
    I haven't tried any of these. Good list to see which new mask to buy.
    clearcrystalwater 24 Jan 2019 10:01 AM
    I'm going to use that Clinique Overnight Mask tonight!
    clearcrystalwater 24 Jan 2019 9:59 AM
    I had my last Minennsey mask yesterday morning and gee they are good. I love them!
    NellAdams 23 Jan 2019 7:18 PM
    To be honest I think everyone should default to sensitive products and only up the ante if it's absolutely necessary. In my early 20s I was beating my skin senseless for being both oily and dry and neither products for oily nor dry skin worked... as soon as I started using products for sensitive skin my complexion improved amazingly. I think we all have more sensitive skin than we stop to think.
    Miss19 22 Jan 2019 6:13 PM
    It’s hard to calm my skin down if it’s irritated or dry
    ShannonIris 7 Aug 2018 8:27 PM
    I only really like sheet masks when im after something more hydrating and calming
    vtjh 4 Jul 2018 6:43 PM
    Given the number of masks that I have, I shouldn't be lusting after new ones but these are sooooo tempting!
    ThisIsMe 1 May 2018 2:25 PM
    Haven't tried any of these but heard good things about a few..
    Trish_D 30 Apr 2018 6:34 PM
    I've given up on masks as I haven't found anything that I can use. Natio have a beautiful Arnica and Aloe Skin Calming Lotion that I got in a GWP that I find very calming.
    Peta908 30 Apr 2018 2:58 PM
    Avene works a treat on my face
    skincare junkie 30 Apr 2018 11:52 AM
    I tried the Natio clay mask. It is nice but I wouldn't say it's for calming.
    sunjeanie 30 Apr 2018 9:32 AM
    I love masks. I used a sheet mask by Eaoron last night and it was super hydrating, and I've got a whole lot of Korean sheet masks coming in the mail today. Woohoo!
    Okatko 29 Apr 2018 2:21 PM
    I haven’t tried any of these masks. The National and Avene are ones I’m more likely to try. It I really want to try a sheet mask but I think I’ll terrify the kids. What I would give for some quality home alone time.
    Belindarella 29 Apr 2018 12:55 PM
    That Lush mask looks lush!!
    cityglenda 29 Apr 2018 11:54 AM
    I'd love to try the Avene & Natio masks as I already use some of their products & I really like them
    Snailor 28 Apr 2018 9:41 PM
    Ooooh! I didn't know Dermalogica made a hydrating mask - I would love to source a sample of it.
    skincare junkie 29 Apr 2018 11:29 AM
    It's been around for over 15 years but a few years ago they reforumuated it - and for the better! I really enjoy using it now.
    blackkittykat 28 Apr 2018 7:08 PM
    I'd love to try any of these, but the only one which I've tried is the Lush Brazen Honey one. It was great, but I prefer some of their other face masks.
    GoddessMagick 28 Apr 2018 3:15 PM
    My skin has been very sensitive and red so it is great timing to read about these masks and their reviews. Keen to try the Dermalogica, Avene or Clinique anything to help soothe and protect the skin's mantle,
    Beautybabe140194 28 Apr 2018 10:19 AM
    I have recently bought the above dermalogica one and I can't wait to try it.
    Isabelbolton 28 Apr 2018 10:14 AM
    I remember using the peel off masks years ago and they hurt so much coming off!
    jillian206 28 Apr 2018 8:13 AM
    I do quite like moisture surge but have never tried the mask before. Looks good :)
    Miss19 27 Apr 2018 7:42 PM
    If I want to calm my skin I'll put some fresh aloe vera on it
    Elunia 27 Apr 2018 7:20 PM
    Ohh a snipit of my Clinique review was used :)
    Princess Perfume 27 Apr 2018 6:05 PM
    I've used the moisture surge mask and loved it. And I am a bit of a fan of 7th Heaven masks too
    Tigerlily 27 Apr 2018 5:42 PM
    I've only used the Clinique Moisture Surge Overnight Mask, it is ok, more for moisture rather than calming I would say
    Amazeballs16 27 Apr 2018 4:20 PM
    I love the brazened honey mask, still one of my fave lush masks!
    The moisture surge mask is quite good, used it ages ago but as a overnight cream not as a mask.
    Bellefleur 27 Apr 2018 3:07 PM
    That Dermalogica mask looks very appealing. I love their charcoal rescue mask, so I'm sure my skin would like this one as well.
    TheUglyDuckling 27 Apr 2018 2:17 PM
    Ohmigosh, gimme gimme gimme that Lush Brazen Honey! Sounds absolutely amazing! I've been saving my Lush pots too, so it looks like I've got a new mask for my hit list! Woohoo!
    MoonlightSak16 27 Apr 2018 1:42 PM
    I used to love the 7th heaven masks so much long time ago particularly the peel off masks. Havent tried them in ages and this article reminds me that I should give them a go once again.
    clearcrystalwater 27 Apr 2018 1:22 PM
    Oh yeah I just used the Dermalogica one this morning. I like to use it around my eyes and lips sometimes too for when I'm having another mask that needs to avoid the eye and lip area. This Dermalogica one is perfect for eyes, lips and all over too of course!
    Gilded 27 Apr 2018 12:13 PM
    The only one I've tried is the Dermalogica one. Its ok.
    2663anne 27 Apr 2018 11:53 AM
    I love sheet masks, any other kind of mask makes my skin very irritated even the ones designed for sensitive skin.
    Tee631 27 Apr 2018 11:43 AM
    im in love with the fresh masks
    Beccaduncan23 27 Apr 2018 11:00 AM
    The Lush fresh face masks are really nice and calming!
    MrsRobinson 21 Feb 2018 1:21 PM
    Love soothing masks but haven't tried any of these yet. Just purchased an Avene but it was the anti-redness one.
    Eyeream 2 Feb 2018 11:59 AM
    I need all of these
    dailybeet 23 Jan 2018 3:51 PM
    The Avene soothing mask works wonders in my occasionally irritated skin
    Sweety7 5 Jan 2018 3:11 PM
    I love to use sheet masks, apply a thick layer of aloe vera gel or facial oil and my current favourite Secret Key snail repairing essence, are my go to products to calm & soothe any skin irritation or dryness.
    onlyoni 26 Nov 2017 8:32 AM
    There's nothing like a nice mask to smooth and calm the skin. I've tried quite a few different masks but none of the mentioned ones.
