The Best Vitamin C Face Masks for Getting a Sunkissed Glow Indoors

Summer is the glow getter’s favorite season. In addition to getting regular doses of vitamin D on the cookout circuit and other planned get-togethers with friends and family, he or she also goes H.A.M with the self-tanner and elevates their vitamin C intake for even brighter results. And if they can somehow track down the best vitamin C mask for an extra dose of illuminated TLC, success is most definitely on the horizon.

Vitamin C‘s spot in the upper echelon of popular skincare ingredients should come as no surprise. Its versatility allows it to be mixed with almost any other skin solution and it provides antioxidant protection better than most other topical ingredients. It also targets a handful of other common skin-related complaints; lack of firmness, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage, to name a few. But its most popular benefit is undoubtedly an uptick in overall brightness. For this reason, you can get your vitamin C fix in a variety of ways, from your sunscreen to your post-cleansing serum or powder to your eye cream.

There’s also the option of saving it for your daily or weekly face mask moment. Though experts say these are best suited for oily and combination skin types since masking is especially helpful in reducing the appearance of pores, the truth is anyone can get in on the action. So whether your summer skincare goals include reaching next-level luminosity or simply switching up your daily routine, here are some of the best brightening vitamin C mask products packed with a wide range of effective ingredients.
