Are you one of those who has never ever put a mask on your face? Well, you are missing one of the most relaxing and beneficial beauty experiences for the skin. If you already do it but you still have doubts about how to apply them or the one that best suits your skin, calm down. We have prepared a guide so that you do not have any questions and know how to choose the ideal mask for you.
Everything you need to know about face masks
- Prepare your skin. It is essential that before applying your mask, you have clean and exfoliated skin. Remove your makeup thoroughly first and then massage yourself with your regular facial scrub. By having the face free of impurities, the active products that your mask contains will penetrate your skin better and will be much more effective.
- Choose the right product. It all depends on how your skin type is. If you have it dry or sensitive, look for masks that provide extra hydration. There are some that can even be left overnight and others that come in tissue or paper format. It all depends on the texture you like the most. For oily or combination skin, the best ones are the purifying ones, which help control shine and drag out pimples and blackheads. For mature skin, choose those that have a tightening effect, there are even those for the neck.
- What to do while … If you have little free time, you can always opt for an express use product or to perform other tasks while you are wearing it, but it is best to take advantage of those minutes (normally no more than 15) to relax and not do nothing. You can browse your Clara Magazine, give yourself a leg massage or just breathe. At the end of the day, most of them are for weekly use and it is sure to be great to give yourself those minutes.
- And now how do I take it off? Tissue masks are the easiest to remove because you just have to pull them to make them peel off without further ado. For the rest, read the instructions first, but usually it is enough to rinse the face with water (always warm or cold so as not to dry out the skin and close the pore) or use a cotton towel. Pat your face dry without rubbing it against the towel.
