Using face masks is a great way to complement and enhance the performance of your skincare regimen. It is not to replace your existing facial care routine, but to work in conjunction with regular products. In our daily lives, pollution, stress, alcohol, smoking, and hectic schedules can aggravate the aging process. Regular moisturizers and sunscreens may not be enough to protect our skin and maintain its optimal condition.

Applying a face mask is probably the easiest way to maintain beautiful, healthy skin. You can do it in a spa or just do it yourself from the comfort of your home. Although it may seem a bit weird for a while with the mask on your face (about 20 minutes), the result can be very attractive. If you apply the face mask at home, you can relax in an easy chair, read a book, or even vacuum the carpet while doing it. It’s a great facial care to boost skin health once a week.

How does the facial mask work? It is based on the concept of the occlusive bandage technique or ODT:

• When the skin is temporarily covered with a face mask, moisture is sealed in the epidermis instead of being released into the air. This results in a soft and flexible epidermis.
• If a high concentration of nutrients is included in the mask, the absorption of nutrients will increase in a closed environment.
• In a covered condition, the temperature of the skin’s surface will rise slightly and it will stimulate circulation.
• Some face masks will shrink when they start to dry out. Results in tight skin.

There are different types of masks appropriate for different skin types. The 2 main categories are: deep cleansing masks and deep hydration masks. Deep cleansing masks are specially formulated to absorb oils and remove impurities from the skin. They also need to be gentle enough to heal blemishes and prevent inflammation. It is a great complement for daily cleaning. Deep hydration masks are designed to give your skin a regular hydration boost. They help stimulate blood circulation and leave the skin soft and supple. In conclusion, the beneficial effects of face masks include:

– Remove excess oil

– Minimizes the appearance of pores.

– Clean and nourish the skin

– Reduces skin irritation.

– Nourishes and soothes the skin

– Moisturize and soften the skin.

– Reduce the number of black dots and white dots

– Stimulate blood circulation.

By applying a mask once or twice a week, your skin will be smoother, smoother and cleaner. No matter what climate and humidity you live in, it is an excellent facial care to enhance your daily skin care and restore your skin’s natural radiance.
