Not that you need another reason to bust out a skin-care mask, but Halloween is a good one if you’re looking for an excuse to try a new one. Consider face-masking a double-duty treat this time of year. Not only will it give you glowing, plump skin to prep for your Halloween makeup, but some masks even resemble costumes themselves. To get in the holiday spirit skin-care style, we rounded up five skin-care masks that give us all the Halloween feels (and a major boost of hydration) before we even put on our costumes.
The Mask That Looks Like It Was Made By a Mad Scientist
A hydrating mask is key when it comes to makeup prep, but not all hydrating masks can transport you to a mad laboratory like the Quenching Mineral Mask. This turquoise-blue jelly texture contains air bubbles that give you the look and feel of a goopy, mad-scientist creation and soothes dry skin in a snap.
The Mask That Literally Sends You Into Outerspace
I Dew Care Space Kitten Peel Off Mask
If you want your Halloween skin-care ritual to feel a little more cosmic, try Space Kitten by I Dew Care. This exfoliating black peel-off mask not only helps to minimize the look of pores and rid them of excess oil, but it also gives off the look of a galactic night sky once applied.
The Trendy Instagram Gradient-Inspired Mask
Petite Amie Skincare Hybrid-Cellulose Masque
Gradient colors are trending pretty much everywhere, and this Petite Amie Hybrid-Cellulose Masque makes a great case for adding these hues into your skin-care, too. The pink, purple and blue gradient mask is optimal for selfies and helps boost the natural radiance in your skin with each use.

The Mask That Makes You Embrace Your Inner Child
Embracing your inner child doesn’t get much more fun than these HipDot x SpongeBob face masks. They come in two types: SpongeBob or Patrick, and both contain a nice blend of hyaluronic acid, marine proteins and red algae to give you the ultimate under-the-sea TLC.
The Mask That Could Double as an Actual Halloween Decoration
Perhaps the most festive of them all, this Bat Eye Mask from Wish Formula is shaped like the actual spooky creature, and sits firmly on your nose and underneath your eyes. It contains centella honey fermented essence and vitamin C to get your under-eye area looking bright. Halloween skin-care doesn’t get much better than this.
