Hi, fellow beauty lovers! My name is Alana Mitchell and I’m so excited to share some tips with you today!
As a licensed esthetician, owner of Skincare by Alana, and creator of Alana Mitchell Skincare products, I’ve had plenty of experience with different ingredients and product lines over the years.
I’m going to discuss my favorite face masks that will give you that “summer glow” that everyone’s always talking about.
I love everything about achieving the perfect summer glow, but I know that for me, it doesn’t come naturally. I rely on a variety face masks for a radiant summer glow to help me revive my complexion during the summertime to brighten, tighten, and hydrate my skin.
Warm temperatures and spending more time outside can make our complexions extra oily thanks to our T-zones putting in some OT. Redness and blotchiness are more common in the summer months, too.
My favorite face masks include all-natural ingredients designed specifically for a variety of skin types and concerns to get you through the rest of the summer.
So, let’s dive in!
1. Epicuren Hydrating Mineral Mask
One of my all-time favorites! This mask restores moisture and revitalizes my complexion. It has a creamy mineral complex packed with restorative key ingredients like aloe leaf extract and shea butter extract, plus natural collagen producers like zinc, copper, and magnesium aspartate.
2. Image Skincare Biomolecular Anti-Aging Radiance Mask
This multi-faceted mask contains ingredients derived from red algae and carob tree and is designed to deliver ultimate anti-aging benefits. It noticeably brightens skin tone and gives me that extra moisture boost I need during the week.
3. Eminence Organics Bright Skin Mask
Perfect for blotches on the skin or patchy spots, this mask may be used by people with normal to dry skin, uneven skin tone, excessive melanin, age spots, or hyperpigmented skin. If you’re looking to “glow up,” this mask is for you.
4. Eminence Organics Clear Skin Probiotic Mask
Since we spend more time outside during the summer, our skin encounters pollution. This mask cleans deep inside pores, removing build-up that can trigger acne. Excess oil is also removed, balancing skin’s natural oils and supporting skin health. This mask also balances pigmentation, reducing the redness and irritation that accompanies acne.
5. 100% Pure Vegetable Facial Mask
Summer veggies aren’t just available at the farmer’s market! This mask is detoxifying and highly nourishing. It draws out impurities to minimize pores and to deeply purify while vegetables and seaweeds feed your skin with vitamins, antioxidants, and other healthy nutrients
6. Epicuren Volcanic Clay Purifying Mask
This is a favorite among celebrity clients. This mask delivers ultra-nourishing, all-natural ingredients deep into the most deprived layers of the skin. This volcanic clay mask uses bentonite (aged volcanic clay ash) to absorb oil and clear away free radicals, plus lavender and sandalwood oil to detoxify and revitalize the skin.
7. Dermalogica Charcoal Rescue Mask
Charcoal is becoming increasingly popular in face masks, and for good reasons! Binchotan charcoal powerfully absorbs impurities while sulfur promotes cell turnover for dramatically brighter skin. Volcanic ash, sea salt, bamboo extract, and alpha hydroxy acids further accelerate skin brightening with dual-action exfoliation.
8. June Jacobs On-The-Go Perfect Pumpkin Peeling Enzyme Mask
I know it’s still summer and a little early for the pumpkin craze, but hear me out. Pumpkin is naturally rich in zinc, a mineral that aids in the healing process, as well as essential fatty acids and vitamins A and C. These ingredients work synergistically to rebuild the elasticity of the skin.
9. Matis Eye and Lip Comfort Treatment Mask
This nourishing and energizing mask uses marine elastin as its main active ingredient. Its anti-aging properties nourish and protect your delicate, line-prone skin around the eyes and lips. it nourishes your delicate, line-prone skin around the eyes and lips.
10. Image Skincare Vital C Hydrating Enzyme Mask
This mask gently removes dead skin cells with enzymes while infusing the skin with vitamins, minerals, moisture, and antioxidants to improve the overall health and appearance of your skin. I love how my skin feels silky smooth and supple after I use this mask!

Oh what a timely article, thank you!
I don’t usually wear a lot of make up but have bought a new foundation to give me some coverage as I’ll be on stage in a couple of weeks and am worried about being a red hot mess!
Trouble is, when I did a practice run my skin looked really bumpy and horrid, reckon a good face mask would give me the smooth base I am looking for!
