Music festival season is here. And unlike the weather seasons, this one will run for the next six months. Regardless of which one(s) you choose to attend throughout the year though, one thing's for sure: You'll probably want to rehydrate and detox your face afterwards. Because whether you choose to dance it up in the desert, the plains, the city, or the beach, chances are it's going to be hot and crowded.

And honestly, one of the best ways to help reset and refresh your skin is with a good ol' face mask. Just slap or slather one on, sit back and relax, and feel the effects of a couple long, summer days and nights outside rewind. OK, OK, it may not always be that simple, but having the right treatment really can help. But what's the best mask to try? Well, after being exposed to the elements, something gentle is always a good option. And whether you need some extra moisture, help drawing out the dirt and impurities, or both, there are plenty of options that will help revive your skin from its slightly more sensitive state. So you can enjoy your festival(s) without worrying about the state of your skin, here are 12 face masks to try afterward:
