Is there an easier way to feel pampered than by simply slicking on a good face mask at the end of the day?
We highly doubt it. Face masks have become the foundation of every good skincare regime. Soaked in rich vitamins and healthy ingredients, as well as feeling cool and refreshing after a day out in the humidity — putting on a face mask is like letting your face bathe in a smoothie bowl. Absolutely scrumptious.
In contrast to the other type of face masks (here’s looking at you Coronavirus and PM2.5), there’s absolutely no shortage of beauty face masks in Bangkok. We’re pretty lucky to live in a city where some of the best face masks in the world lie abundant in every corner shop and department store. But which ones should you choose out of the thousands out there? We’ve selected the top 7 that seem to be remedies for any skin demands from ageing to dry skin to hyper-pigmentation. What’s more, they’re all brilliantly convenient to use, travel-friendly, and easy to find in the city. So, here are our picks for the best face masks in Bangkok to sink your face into right now.

Meshima Labo
The Swiss beauty brand has only recently become available in Bangkok, but it’s definitely making the rounds and impressing all the Thai beauty influencers and beauty editors out there. This Japan-manufactured beauty brand specialises in face masks, and emphasises a natural yet innovative ingredient — the Phiman mushroom — which is know to protect and brighten your skin.
Cle de Peau
Cle de Peau’s Illuminating Concentrate is possibly one of the most beloved and effective face masks in Bangkok. With its 3-part application, it takes just a little bit more effort than your standard rip-out-the-bag face masks, but trust us, it’s well worth the extra few minutes. This skincare set will give your complexion moisture, resilience, and an even texture after just the first treatment.
La Mer
With different sizes to choose from, each La Mer mask is targeted to deliver immediate visible results for a healthy look of deep radiance and a luminous glow. All you need is 8 spare minutes to indulge in their creamy and nourishing treatment at home. Your skin gets a strong surge of hydration and energy and, together with the portable packaging, the face masks makes for the best travel beauty companion you could buy.
Skyn
Inspired by the world-renowned skin spas of Iceland, the Icelandic brand Skyn is replicates the innovation, ingredients, and conditions of Arctic treatments. Using an icy cooling effect, the mask is super effective at combating puffiness and bloat. It retextures your skin to leave it looking sleek and smooth whilst also restoring energy and liveliness to your look.
Tatcha
Being ‘Made in Japan’ might be all you need to know about the cult beauty brand Tatcha, but their amazing face masks deserve even more commendations. The Luminous Dewy Skin mask is a silky soft, skin-fitting sheet mask that deeply delivers a healthy drink of ultra-hydrating botanical oils and extracts for a dewy glow in just one use. One of our favourite Japanese face masks in Bangkok.
Saturday Skin
Don’t be fooled by the adorable pink holographic packaging and the smiley cloud stickers — the Cotton Cloud Probiotic Power mask means serious skincare business. Full of good microbes that fight off blemish-causing bacteria and a marshmallow soft texture that leaves your skin bouncy and fresh, this Saturday Skin mask is, in fact, a real treat for every day of the week. But yes, it’s also probably one of the cutest face masks in Bangkok.
Wei
A touch of Asian medicine is always a good sign when it comes to natural skincare. And when it comes to looking for it in face masks in Bangkok, you’ll have very little trouble. Huang Qi is a renowned healing herb used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to improve blood flow and restore vitality. This sheet mask is soaked in this herbal blend and also assists in strengthening dermal fibres where wrinkles begin. There’s a good reason why Asian skin is famous for its agelessness — let this face mask be an explanation.
