Face masks are big business and beauty brands are trying anything and everything to gain popularity. From bee venom to snail secretions there’s really nothing we won’t smear on our faces for beauty. Here are 10 of the craziest face masks on the market.

Dr. Brandt Skincare Magnetight Age-Defier Magnet Face Mask, $94
What do you get when electromagnetic forces interact with black tourmaline? Firmer and more energized skin, of course! While it sounds rather sci-fi, it apparently really works. Using a little metal tool wrapped in tissue, the magnetic mask (as well as dirt, debris and oil) wicks off of the skin making for the cleanest and easiest mask removal ever. No water necessary, just a fine serum left behind to massage into the skin.

Mizon Enjoy Vital-Up Time Anti-Wrinkle Mask with Snail Secretion Filtrate, US$3.50
Snail mucus is slithering its way into our skincare and it’s all the rage! Known to attract water, snail secretions are said to be ultra hydrating, but if you’re squeamish this slimy mask might not be for you.

Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask, $20
Applying this mask is like any other, until it starts foaming up like a bubble-bath-filled hot tub. The carbonated bubbles massage the pores of your skin, removing blackheads and dirt, but you’ll look like a sea urchin while they do.

Zero Skin Caviar Peel Off Mask, £25
Whoever would’ve thought we’d be slathering fish egg extract on our faces for beautiful skin! Turns out we are. Apparently caviar prevents cellular inflammation and minimizes the appearance of wrinkles. This thick, messy mask peels off after 30 minutes and no, you can’t eat it.

Adore Cosmetics Golden Touch Facial Mask, US$3300
California-based Adore Cosmetics has created what may be the most excessive and outrageous sheet mask in the world. Retailing at $3,300, this mask uses "the restorative power of pure gold" to replenish the skin. You could almost buy yourself a new face for that price!

Based on Hirohiko Araki’s manga series, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, this anime skin care beauty mask set can transport you (and a friend) into your very own manga adventure. With vitamin c and hydrolyzed collagen, you’ll step out of your journey looking more youthful than before.

Dr. Jart+

Dr. Jart+ Firm Lover Rubber Mask, $17
This two-step mask system starts with a special serum that is massaged onto the skin. Next, a thick rubber mask is placed over the skin to prevent the serum from evaporating. This process allows for deep penetration and encourages a firmer, more lifted complexion. You get the added bonus of looking like a blow-up doll while wearing it.

Wish Formula Program Cosmetics

Wish Formula The Bat Mask, US$4
This award-winning eye mask is infused with fermented honey. It targets dark circles and fine lines by moisturising and calming the delicate skin around the eye area. It’s perfect for superheroes and those who love face mask selfies.

Miss Spa
9 / 10
Miss Spa Bee Venom Plumping Mask, US$8
This face mask is serious: it comes with an allergy alert warning stating that it contains bee venom and is not suitable for people who are allergic to bees. Royal jelly protein and bee venom are plumping agents that work to boost the skin, but in a much gentler way than via a sting.
Available at Ulta.

Bliss

Bliss Mask-a-Peel Radiance Revealing Rubberizing Mask, $38
After mixing a powder with cool water to make a paste, you apply it to your face and wait 20 minutes. The mask rubberizes so all you have to do is peel it off. This antioxidant-rich mask brightens and evens out skin — and it’s fun to use!
