What ARE FACIAL MASKS?

Facial masks are skincare treatments applied to the face to address a variety of skin concerns and provide specific benefits, such as hydration, exfoliation, or pore cleansing. They come in various formulations, such as creams, gels, sheet masks, clay, or peel-off types, and are typically left on the skin for a set period before being removed. Different types of masks target different skin needs:

HOW DO FACIAL MASKS WORK?

Facial masks work by delivering concentrated ingredients to the skin that target specific skin concerns. When applied, they create a barrier over the skin, allowing the active ingredients to penetrate deeply and stay in contact with the skin for an extended period. The mask’s texture, formulation, and type determine how it works:

How Is The Procedure Performed?

The facial mask procedure begins with cleansing the face to remove makeup, dirt, and oils, ensuring the skin is prepped for maximum absorption of the mask’s active ingredients. Depending on the type of mask, it is then applied evenly across the face using fingers, a brush, or a spatula, while avoiding the eyes and lips. For sheet masks, the pre-soaked fabric is placed directly on the face. The mask is left on for 10-20 minutes, allowing the ingredients to work, whether hydrating, exfoliating, or detoxifying the skin. Afterward, the mask is carefully removed, either by peeling off (in the case of sheet masks) or rinsing away with water, followed by the application of moisturizer or a soothing serum to lock in hydration and protect the skin.

WHAT KIND OF FACIAL MASKS ARE THERE?

Hydrating masks: Often enriched with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, or glycerin, these masks provide deep moisture and help soothe dry or dehydrated skin.

Clay masks: Typically used for oily or acne-prone skin, clay masks draw out impurities and excess oils from the skin’s surface, helping to minimize pores and reduce shine.

Exfoliating masks: These masks contain ingredients like enzymes or acids (e.g., AHA or BHA) to gently exfoliate dead skin cells, leaving the skin smoother and brighter.

Sheet masks: Pre-soaked in serums or nutrient-rich solutions, these masks are placed directly on the face, offering a quick and effective boost of hydration and nutrients.

Peel-off masks: These are applied as a thick layer that dries and hardens, then peeled away, often leaving skin feeling refreshed and smooth by removing dead skin or impurities.
