"I tend to alternate my masks a lot, depending on what the season is and how much time I have and what my skin needs," says Gucci. Cooler days call for extra nourishment, so she's already taking pre-emptive steps against the dryness, blotchiness, inflammation and potential rosacea flare-ups that come with fall. On today's masking agenda: May Lindstrom's lush raw honey, white clay, silver, and organic macadamia nut oil blend, which gently dissolves dull skin with natural enzymes as it repairs.

From the most potent Japanese plumping elixir to an intensive overnight hydration boost and a top dermatologist's pore detoxifying charcoal fix, here are the 6 face masks she swears by for good skin.
