There are sooo many beauty face masks out there that promise, well, everything, but the FAACE brand aims to simplify the process, to ‘provide a solution to skin that’s been disrupted by life.’ (That would be all of us, right?)
The line includes Period Faace, Tired Faace, Sweaty Faace, Dull Faace, Dirty Faace (a cleanser) and Menopause Faace.
We asked founder Jasmine Wicks-Stephens about the revolutionary brand.
We wanted to give consumers a new way to shop for their skin. We found a white space in how women actually talk about their skin and provided them with a more straightforward way to shop that speaks in the language they are using. We call it “skin disrupted by life”. Ironically, often the time your skin needs the most care, is the life moment when you have the least energy, inclination and motivation to provide it. That’s how we landed on Period, Tired and Sweaty Faace.

The brand first hit our radar with their ‘PERIOD ‘ mask which we thought was genius because most of us break out at that time of the month. ($35 a tube. About 40 uses.)
We asked Jasmine about developing this mask…and normalizing the conversation about periods:
“Period Faace mask was our first concept as we’re period obsessed in my office, plus all find it plays havoc with our skin. And whilst we live in a straight-talking society to some extent, periods are still a relatively taboo subject– which is ridiculous when so many people have periods! Period poverty is an ongoing issue too – and that’s not in the sense of people not having the means to purchase period products, but also safe spaces to use them, avoiding the stigma attached to having them and a lack of awareness around the topic of menstruation generally. We donate a pack of sanitary products to someone in need for every Faace mask sold via the great social enterprise, Hey Girls. So why did we create period? To be specific to the skin for that time, to give a nice but super easy sensorial experience for people to use during that time, but also, because it felt empowering to have a product called ‘period’ as a bit of a ‘so what, I’m on my period?!’ and help to normalise that a bit more.”
Buy a mask and help end period poverty. Win-win.
