We love a good sheet mask. And nowadays, everyone’s making them. But the latest at-home beauty fad to hit the market is rubber masks (also referred to as modeling masks). In case you’re wondering what in the world rubber masks entail, they basically start out as a thick gel-like substance and transform into a peel-off rubbery mask that gives skin multiple beauty benefits in a very short amount of time. Rubber masks are a step up from regular sheet masks, if you ask us.
Once only available in spas, they’re now everywhere in Korea and slowly making their way to the U.S. We even hear that our favorite K-beauty brand Dr.Jart+ is bringing its Dermask Rubber Mask collection stateside soon. Until then, check out these must-try modeling rubber masks you can get your hands on right now. They’re the perfect way to treat yourself to some R&R at home when you can’t make it to the spa.

MD's Pick
If your skin is being extra fussy, this goji rubber mask will instantly calm it down. An alginate base is infused with licorice, goji berry and ginger extracts and when mixed with the special powder, it creates a potent gel that soothes and hydrates.

Lindsay
Lindsay is our go-to for the brand's affordable price and large selection of rubber mask options. Since collagen production slows down as you age, we recommend this mask to help moisturize and plump skin on an ongoing basis.

Another favorite from Lindsay is this charcoal rubber mask, which conforms to the face and helps remove impurities. It's perfect for traveling since it's easy to pack and will help your skin stay glowy and fresh, no matter how long your flight.

Bliss
This rubberizing mask has been around for a while and is a solid choice if you're new to the trend (because who doesn't love Bliss?) Apply it, let it work its magic and peel off the mask to reveal a fresh, bright complexion. We also love this mask for days when skin is just a little hungover.

Grand Central Beauty
Play chemist with Grand Central Beauty's innovative mask. When you're ready to apply, mix the ingredients together in the product's handy mixing container, so the formula is always fresh. This rubber mask is pink, so it's fun for selfies and Insta snaps, but it also helps minimize wrinkles, smooth skin and deeply hydrate — all within 15 minutes.

Let Me Skin
With a name like Let Me Skin, you know you're in good hands. This unique hybrid water-jelly formula is a great intro into rubber masks. Not only does it hydrate and brighten, but it is chock-full of antioxidants and botanical extracts that will help to minimize dark spots and signs of aging.

Shangpree
Feeling fancy? Step it up with Shangpree's swanky silver mask. Crafted with silk amino acids, it helps amp up collagen, brighten your complexion and basically makes you feel a few years younger when the mask is removed. Plus, it's pretty fun to put on!

Shangpree
If that's not fancy enough, step it up with this luxe gold mask that actually contains real gold. While it may be a step up in the pricing category, it's still more affordable than a facial at a spa — and you can live it up with a glass of red wine at home while it does its thing. Think firmer, more hydrated and bouncier skin with regular use.
