Best Collagen Face Masks by Type: 2025’s Top Skincare Trend Explained

Whether you leave them on for 10 minutes, or overnight, these masks can make your skin look like you just got an expensive facial.

What is Collagen, and Why Put it in a Mask?
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body. It is responsible for keeping your skin strong, firm, and fine-line free. With age, your body naturally produces less of this protein which results in early aging signs such as fine lines and wrinkles.
Colagen masks, whether in a cream, sheet mask, or a wrapping mask, sit on top of your skin for a given amoubnt of time and allow collagen to absorb through your top layer of skin and work to fight fine lines and dehydration. Use caution when buying these masks, as not all forms of collagen can penetrate your skin. Make sure to look for the ingredients hydrolyzed collagen or collagen amino acids, as these are small enough for absorption.
