Face Masks for Your Favorite Marvel Characters

A while back, I saw Captain Marvel in theaters. I thought it was excellent, while my husband the movie critic / apparent expert on everything thought it was overhyped. I talked to my co-worker who loved it as well and we discussed how many Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movies we would have to watch until Avengers : Endgame comes out. This got me to thinking about how many face masks I would be doing during these movies- and which ones I would do. This then led me to wonder, I wonder what kind of face mask Captain America would use? Would he even use one? Tony Stark would definitely use one. Okoye definitely practices self-care. But the burning question is - which character would use which mask? I've used a lot of masks in my life and I've narrowed down some good character/mask combos.

Captain America - The OG Avenger. He's old school, doesn't like anything complicated, yet is always clean cut and has pristine skin. So how does he do it? He's got Queen Helene's Mint Julep mask. Readily available, reliable, uncomplicated.

Iron Man - Tony Stark is the master of all things boujee and luxurious in the MCU. I picture him using the Peter Thomas Roth 24K Gold Mask Pure Luxury Lift & Firm Mask. This mask is designed to help re-energize skin and minimize the look of the aging effects of stress. I mean, what else would you use after flying a Nuke through a wormhole into outer space? So stressful. 

Hulk - Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay. Strong, effective, and green. Clogged pores? SMASH. 

Thor - Skyn Iceland Arctic Hydration Rubberizing Mask. This peel off mask supercharges skin stressed and depleted skin with an instant dose of hydration. Kind of like how Stormbreaker destroys the Children of Thano's army with one swing. 

Black Window - A deadly assassin that you can always count on to have your back. The perfect match for Black Widow is the Origins Clear Improvement mask, a black charcoal mask that is gentle and non-drying to the skin but deadly to pore-clogging bacteria. 

Hawkeye - He's a tough one; the silent, underrated avenger. I've decided to make him the Summer Fridays Jet Lag mask. This is a mask that you don't think you need but once you try it, you see how valuable it really is. Not to mention that the motto for the mask is 'Give your skin some time off'. Hawkeye loves to spend time with his family when he's not saving the world - he probably wasn't a fan of being on house arrest after Civil War, but what else is there to do besides mask??

Antman - Antman is one of my favorite Avengers. His mask would be the Origin's Out of Trouble 10-Minute Mask. Quick and easily outmaneuvers potential breakouts, yet calming and non-irritating to the skin. Perfect for Scott Lang, a witty microscopic cat-burglar with a big heart. Also usually saves the day.. HINT. 

Nebula - Ole Henrickson Cold Plunge Pore Mask: A detoxifying, cooling clay mask that instantly reduces the look of pores, smooths skin texture, and controls oil all day. Despite her cool exterior, Nebula really cares about her family and will help them any way she can. This mask is perfect for her. Also because it's blue, don't @ me. 

Okoye - Okoye is my favorite character from Wakanda. She is tough, loyal, and charasmatic. The perfect mask for her would be Kiehl's Turmeric & Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Mask, which is An energizing radiance mask that helps visibly brighten dull, fatigued skin - much like how Okoye will also protect those that she is loyal to. 

Captain Marvel - The most powerful MCU character should have a mask of the same caliber. The Drunk Elephant Sukari Babyfacial is one of the strongest and most effective chemical exfoliants on the market. Babyfacial delivers incredible brightening and enzymatic action, improves skin’s elastic feel, and reveals the look of a more even, radiant, baby-soft complexion. Your skin will glow like Captain Marvel's quantum bands. 

Thanos - Some would argue that Thanos is the real hero of the story - I'd say it's up for debate. Thanos is a character that has spent ages searching the universe for the infinity stones to achieve his goal of establishing "balance". He probably hasn't ever had time for a face mask- until now. As he's sitting on his little bachelor planet, he can finally indulge in a little bit of self-care. The mask for Thanos would be the Tatcha Violet-C Radiance Mask. Lord knows he needs only the best things to help relieve signs of aging. After all, wouldn't your skin be stressed after literally wiping out half the universe?
