Application Tips
Regardless which mask you opt for the application method will always begin in the same way. As with all skincare products (with the obvious exception of cleansers) it’s important to start with a clean face. If you apply masks directly onto unwashed skin you will trap dirt and impurities into skin which increases the chance of breakouts and irritation.
To increase the effectiveness of your mask, apply to clean skin and gently exfoliate skin as this removes dead-cell skins and enables ingredients to absorb and penetrate deeper into skin.
To ensure that the mask delivers its desired benefits follow the application directions and leave on for the directed time. In the case of clay or mud masks, exceeding this time can dry out skin or increase bacteria levels leading to breakouts. For this reason it is also important to ensure that you remove all traces of clay masks as residue can dry out skin. Using a muslin cloth to gently buff off a mask can help to improve the exfoliating benefits of masks and removes dead, dull skin cells that have been broken down. After washing off your mask follow with a sweep of toner to leave skin feeling clean and fresh.
With so many to choose from, we’d love to know which mask is your favourite?
