The Bottom Line I recommend natural products over everything
The first step in finding what kind of mask is best for you is to find the problem that you want to correct with your skin. Distinguish if your face is dry, oily, or blemish problems. Then you must decide whether your skin is sensitive or not, this is crucial because if you have sensitive skin, then you want to find a more natural product that is not full of harmful chemicals that could strip your skin or dry it out. I would recommend a more natural product regardless of the sensitivity of your skin anyway because they are in general, more gentle and won't cause any reactions unless you react as a result of an allergy. If you have oily skin, a good chemical that is most commonly used it salicylic acid, a compound that contains the active ingredient of salicylic acid will dry out oil, but could cause dryness or a stingy feeling. Oily skin is mostly dealt with through astringents, or materials of harsher strength. If you have the problem of dry skin to get it in the winter, there are many moisturizing masks that you can choose from. I would recommend "The Body Shop Bamboo moisture mask" All natural, and with no added chemicals, fragrances, or colors, it contains bamboo extracts and soothing aloe vera so this mask fully hydrates. You leave this on for about ten to fifteen minutes before rinsing with warm water. There is also the bamboo freshener and facial cleanser to match the mask. This has very smooth gel consistency which is very comfortable and there is no tingly feeling if you apply it to near to your eye area. In my opinion, over-night masks seem to get sticky and can be messy and make your pillow smell, I would rather have a great results in about fifteen minutes rather than having something caked on your face all through the night. In conclusion, I recommend that you choose a line in products and get all the corresponding products so you won't get any reactions from mixing products. Natural products are less harsh on the skin and more healthy, always try to choose a brand that does not test on animals. (bath and body works, the body shop, M.A.C., St. Ives. etc.)
