Can you believe that Memorial Day is this weekend and that summer is just around the corner?! For me, the transition from Spring to Summer means it’s time to change up my skincare routine and prep my skin for the drying, pore clogging elements of summer. One of my favorite ways to instantly transform my skin, not to mention give me a much needed relaxation break, is to indulge in a fabulous face mask and prep my skin for the seasons, the elements, events etc. Lately, I have been testing out so many fabulous face masks, that I decided to share my favorites in this post and give you a handy dandy reference guide of which mask to use depending on what you skin needs throughout the summer.

2) Luzern Pure Oxygen Radiance Mask ($70) This cosmecutical grade mask combines oxygen and co-enzyme Q10 to give your skin an instant burst of energy and radiance.
