Face masks are a great way to take care of your skin and should be a part of any beauty regimen. The deep cleansing and moisturizing that face masks offer can’t be beaten, and that is why more and more people are turning to them as a way to freshen their face and keep themselves looking healthy and younger!
Face masks aren’t as simple as they seem, however. If you want to get the most out of your face mask, there are a couple of tips and tricks the beauty professionals have been keeping to themselves. Here is our guide to getting the most from your face mask – follow just one or two of these top tips and you will see and feel the difference!
Prep Your Face for the Main Event
It may seem extreme to prepare and treat your skin for a face mask, but getting your pores in the right state for a face mask can give you a lot more bang for your buck.
Before applying your chosen face mask, lightly cleanse your face of the day’s dirt, debris, and grease to make sure your skin is primed and ready to make the most of your mask. Be sure to remove any makeup too, so nothing is in between your skin and your mask.
Use a Serum Before the Mask for Extra Luxury and Skincare
A great first step that will help you get more from your face mask is to use a serum high in peptides and moisturizers to help your skin produce its natural collagen. This can greatly increase the effectiveness of your mask, and when the right products are paired together, you can achieve some amazing results.
Using an anti-aging serum that is high in peptides before applying a mask that evens skin tones and smooths skin texture. This can erase lines and creases from your face much more effectively than either product used on its own.
Choose the Right Mask for the Job
Different face masks do different things, and it is important that you choose the right one for your skin, and for the right time of day.
Overnight masks are becoming more popular, and a better way to get your skin the care and hydration it needs without having to change your style and routine during the rest of the day. A hyaluronic acid overnight mask is great for cleansing and moisturizing, and by using it overnight, your skin is free for you to add makeup or other products in the day time to keep you looking your best.
Try Some Multi-Masking
You’ve heard of multi-tasking, now get ready for multi-masking. Many people have difficulty finding the perfect face mask for their skin. You may have an oily t-zone, for example, yet the areas around your cheeks and neck may be dry and need extra moisturization.
The trick here is to use the right product for the right area of your face, and multi-mask. Use something that can penetrate oils to cleanse deeply, like a tea tree mask, on your oily t-zone, and then switch to a high moisturizing mask on areas of dry skin.
Get the Right Tools for the Job
If you want to get more from your masks, then you should invest in a mask brush and a cleansing cloth. The brush is great for applying masks to your face and is much more accurate than using your fingertips or your hands. Cleansing cloths are made from soft micro-fibers that don’t irritate or dry the skin. Let your products do the exfoliation and leave the rough face cloths and cotton pads alone for good.
Skincare is self-care, and with the right approach, you can take better care of the skin you are in by using some of our face mask tips.
