A face mask is an additional skin care product that should be used several times a week. It solves specific skin problems: removes excess fat, shrinks pores, moisturizes dry skin, brightens pigment spots. The mask improves the texture of the face, smoothes wrinkles and promotes skin regeneration. However, it is crucial to choose the right mask so as not to do more harm than good. Because, as an example, a face mask with retinol or fruit acids can severely irritate sensitive skin.
Today’s offer of face masks is very abundant – lubricating, sheet, bubble, peeling, magnetic and foaming. Today, let’s look at perhaps the most traditional type of face mask – the spreadable masks.
It is the spreadable, creamy, rich-textured masks that maintain and protect the skin’s lipid barrier. Therefore, they are especially suitable for cold weather. The mask is usually applied to clean facial skin, maintained for about 20 minutes and then cleansed with a tonic or rinsed with water. Remember to always wipe off any excess, otherwise the mask can clog your pores.
When choosing a mask, you should always pay attention to its composition, as flashy ingredients such as gold or platinum may only give you a momentary glow, but in the long run your skin will be more grateful if you allow it to benefit from aloe vera, turmeric, coconut, flaxseed, etc.
