Don’t you just love it when you’re getting a facial at your favourite spa and the aesthetician applies a face mask that’s just perfect for your skin? Do you think you should be using face masks at home? If you said yes, you’re on to something! And if you said no, we’re confident we can get you to consider the benefits of face masks because you definitely should use them.
First off, let’s talk about when you should use a face mask. Just like you cleanse and moisturize your face every day (we hope!), you should use a face mask as part of your overall skincare routine. In fact, we consider it the most important part of ANY skincare routine! If the mask is designed to be washed off then it should be applied after you’ve cleansed your face, and if it’s meant to be left on overnight then it should be the last thing you do before getting your beauty sleep. Also, unlike your everyday skincare routine it’s typically recommended that you apply a mask to your lovely face about once to three times a week. Be sure to also check the instructions on the package of your favourite mask to ensure you follow the directions for recommended frequency.
So why add the extra step to your skincare routine? Well, face masks are a great skincare tool because they are able to provide immediate improvement for many different skincare issues. They are able to do this because of their super concentrated formulas which are able to go deep into the skin and produce immediate results. In fact, good quality masks contain amazing ingredients such as hyaluronic and glycolic acids, shea butter, grape seed oil, various fruit extracts, antioxidants, etc. And, the best part is that when used correctly and consistently, face masks can maintain and even improve on the immediate results! Furthermore, because our skin needs change over the seasons and over time, it’s important to make sure you are using the right mask for your skin type – something your aesthetician can help you figure out.
Additionally, another amazing benefit of face masks is that there is a mask for everyone. Depending on your skin’s needs, you can choose between a clay/charcoal mask, a cream mask, a sheet mask and more. What is more, many face masks that are made with high-quality, organic and environmentally-friendly ingredients such as the ones from Eminence Organics are sure to help improve any issues your skin may have. Whether you have dry, dull skin that makes you look fatigued, uneven pigmentation that makes you feel uncomfortable, fine lines that age you or suffer from acne, you’ll have no problem finding a mask perfect for your skin.
As you can see, using face masks as part of your routine is important and can really make a difference. The good news is that you don’t have to wait until your next facial appointment to experience the benefits of a good quality face mask. All you have to do is talk to your aesthetician about which product is right for your skin and get it so you can use it from the comfort of your home. You – and your skin – deserve it!
