BEST TYPES OF FACE MASKS

A MASK FOR EVERYONE

Face masks come in many forms, sizes and textures. Some are better for certain skin types or needs, for example, if your skin is oily a clay mask could work best.

Fists let’s talk about sheet masks, a Korean classic. These are usually cheaper and easier to apply. The formulas that they use can be versatile and address multiple skin problems.

Then there are clay or mud masks, to soak up dirt and oil. They can help pores look smaller and leave the skin softer and smoother. These might be a little messier, but they are good at getting to all the targeted areas.

Cream masks are next. These are easy to apply and wash off, with a less gooey feeling. They are usually packed with moisturising oils to hydrate your skin. They don’t need to be rinsed off, as you could only wipe them off and leave the excess cream to keep treating your face.

There are also some masks that can be left overnight. They are extremely popular in Asia and are now going to the rest of the world. They make the effects really sink in and all you need to do is go to bed.

THE BEST FACE MASK ACCORDING TO YOUR SKIN

Knowing you skin needs is an important part of choosing the right face mask. You may know all types of masks available out there, but what they do for you is what really matters.

If you have oily or combination skin you could choose a clay mask. A good formula will leave your skin shine-free without it feeling dry. Look for oil-free masks to avoid clogging your pores.

When looking for a hydrating mask, people with dry skin can use a sleep mask. Leaving your face mask on for a longer time helps the ingredients nurture your skin even more. If pigmentation or uneven skin tone is part of the problem, go for a brightening mask.

Sheet masks are usually available for many different skin types. These are good for sensitive skin because of the variety, look for ingredients that are safe and lighter on the skin. You can go for lighter cream masks that also fit your skin needs.
