Tips on using face masks
• Cleanse your skin before you apply your mask. Wash your face thoroughly to remove excess oil and dirt on your face before putting on a face mask. Also, remember to remove your makeup.
• Since face masks exfoliate and renew your skin, overdoing them will cause other skin problems like dryness or irritation. Limit the time you leave the mask on (20 minutes is what’s recommended) and use it once a week.
• Choose your face mask wisely. Find the right mask for your skin type and find the right ingredients you need for your skin condition. If you have naturally dry skin, you will want to find a hydrating face mask while if you have oily skin, you may need something that will remove the excess oil from your skin. Do your research and find what works for you!
• After you rinse off the face mask, finish your routine by moisturising your face with your go-to moisturising cream. It will seal in all the goodness from the face mask and retain the moisture and serum in your skin.
• You can also use this time to gently massage your skin to improve blood circulation and relax the muscles. It will not only help you feel better but look better too.
• Face masks are only one part of your routine! Remember to follow a beauty routine that works for you every day to keep your skin looking young, healthy and glowing all the time.
