Even though 2020 is coming to a close, face masks aren’t going anywhere. In 2021, I’m pledging to wear more stylish face masks. I’ve got my go-to black fabric masks, but let’s just say they do not spark joy. Silk face masks are all over my Instagram feed and for good reason.

Silk itself is having a moment. It just looks inviting and fancy. From pillowcases to scrunchies, everyone is clearly looking for a little luxury right now. So why not silk face masks? Because most of us have shelved our OOTDs in favor of sweats—or loungewear sets if you’re still trying—silk face masks can be easy way to elevate your look. You don’t have to put in much effort, and hey, you’re going to wear masks regardless, they might as well be chic.

These fancy face masks have more benefits than just looking good. You’ve probably either heard or dealt with this dreaded entry into the 2020 lexicon: Maskne. As if we didn’t have enough problems, some masks are causing cheek, chin and upper lip breakouts. If you’ve been struggling with maskne like me, silk might be your answer to preventing further breakouts. Silk is generally hypoallergenic, holds onto less moisture and creates less friction on your face, which is the real maskne culprit.

When you’re shopping for silk masks, you want to make sure that they have multiple layers, because one layer of silk isn’t going to cut it. The masks I’ve rounded up below either have extra layers of protection or have pockets for filters.
