Face Masks
Achieve a truly deep cleanse with a face mask, which not only removes impurities but also delivers essential nutrients and antioxidants to your skin, aiding in hydration and repair. There’s a face mask suitable for every skin type and concern.
What is the purpose of a face mask?
Face masks provide targeted treatment for specific skin issues such as hydration, detoxification, brightening, and anti-aging. They deliver concentrated ingredients directly to the skin, offering quick and noticeable improvements.
How often should I use a face mask?
The recommended frequency depends on the type of mask and your skin type. Generally, using a face mask 1-2 times per week is advisable. Always follow the product’s instructions for best results.
What types of face masks are available?
- Sheet Masks: These are pre-soaked fabric sheets that deliver a high concentration of ingredients. They are easy to use and disposable.
- Clay Masks: Ideal for oily and acne-prone skin, these masks draw out impurities and reduce excess oil.
- Hydrating Masks: Typically gel or cream-based, these masks are excellent for adding moisture to dry skin.
- Exfoliating Masks: Containing alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or enzymes, these masks help remove dead skin cells and brighten the complexion.
- Peel-Off Masks: Applied as a liquid and peeled off once dry, these masks can help remove impurities and dead skin cells.
How do I apply a face mask?
Start with a clean, dry face. Apply the mask evenly, avoiding the eyes and mouth. Leave it on for the recommended time (usually 10-20 minutes), then rinse off with lukewarm water or peel off, depending on the type. Follow up with your regular skincare routine.
Can I use a face mask if I have sensitive skin?
Yes, but select masks specifically designed for sensitive skin. Look for calming ingredients like aloe vera, chamomile, and hyaluronic acid.
Should I moisturise after using a face mask?
Absolutely. Moisturising after using a face mask helps to lock in the benefits and keep your skin hydrated, sealing in the active ingredients.
How do I choose the right face mask for my skin type?
- Oily/Acne-Prone Skin: Opt for clay or charcoal masks to absorb excess oil and purify the skin.
- Dry Skin: Choose hydrating masks with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin.
- Combination Skin: Multi-masking can be effective, using different masks on different areas of your face.
- Sensitive Skin: Select gentle, soothing masks with calming ingredients to avoid irritation.
