The Best Face Masks

Face masks are a fine addition to your ordinary facial skin care routine. Used a couple of times weekly they can clarify moisturize, polish, tighten pores and rejuvenate your face. And one of the top things about face masks is there is not any limit to your options! Face masks or facials come in an immense variety in terms of ingredients, fragrances, the needs they treat and the relief they impart. With face masks you have the choice of opting from a variety of spa treatments, medicinal face masks, and do it yourself homemade versions. The options are unlimited, so how do you find the best face mask for you?

The best face masks for you can match your skin’s ailments with the benefits they supply. So with the countless options out there in the facial mask world these are some guidelines that may help you speed up your search.

Face masks can be broken down into three main categories based mostly on consistency and effects: Clay or mud-based masks, Cream-based masks, and Sheet masks.

Mud Masks

Clay or mud-based masks are super-absorbent. This sort of mask will absorboil from the outside of the skin and is naturally best-suited for an oily complexion. Because the masks absorb moisture from the skin, they have a tendency to dry it out and it is suggested that you follow up this treatment by applying a moisturizer. If your issue is dry skin, this is not always the best mask type for you. To see the most satisfactory results this mask will need repeat treatments.

Cream-Based Moisturizing Masks

If your issue is dry skin a cream-based moisturizing mask is just what you’re looking for. Frequently cream masks contain refreshing ingredients like fruit, cucumber and vegetable extracts that make them extra enjoyable. Cream masks are among the best to make in your own house with common household items. The best results from cream masks are experienced when you leave the treatment on for a time period, usually 10-15 minutes to permit the skin to soak up as much as possible, before rinsing away the surplus.

Sheet Masks

The 3rd type can be trickier to use but also the most fun. Sheet masks are the masks you peel off, removing grit,, impurities, product build-up and dead skin cells from the outer layer of your skin. These masks are master exfoliators. They frequently contain ground fruit seeds and pits to slough off dead skin. After smoothing the mask over skin and letting set for a few minutes (anywhere from 10 minutes to 30 minutes) the masks form a firm layer over skin that you can then peel off, leaving skin noticeably smooth and clean. The results are often most dramatic with this mask and it feels great peeling away the oil and dead skin. This mask can leave your skin feeling reborn.

Adding a face mask to your ordinary skin care routine is an exciting, relaxing way to give your skin a boost and maximize other areas of your skin care. Selecting a mask to try out can be half the fun, so look for further posts on homemade face masks, vegan face masks and masks for pimples.
