Masks

Face masks (or masques) are becoming increasingly popular and they are an essential skincare step to get glowing skin. Face masks have the power to deliver potent ingredients and treat nearly all skin conditions, which can include age spots, fine lines, clogged pores and dullness of the skin. Masks and their ingredients are kept in contact with the skin for longer, creating an occlusive layer that traps the moisture or ingredient between the skin and mask, and therefore allows the ingredients to penetrate in a short amount of time. Masks are different to serums and moisturisers, as the occlusive layer prevents some of the product from evaporating into the air, and therefore it has nowhere else to go but directly into your skin.

When deciding on a mask, it is important to consider your skin type and age, as acne-prone skin has different skincare needs than older, more delicate skin. There are many other things to consider, such as the skincare benefits and the different types of masks you would like to use – each with their own individual benefits.
