The best calming masks are primed for a quick chill, delivering hydrating, de-puffing, and anti-redness benefits in truly cool guise. Amore Pacific Luminous Effect Brightening Masque combines milk thistle and antioxidant gingko leaf in an easy-to-apply sheet mask that offers relief when stored in the fridge of a summer beach house, while Boscia’s Cool Blue Calming Mask features a blend of marine-harvested nutrients, aloe, and botanical ingredients in a deeply satisfying, self-cooling, peel-off formula.
