Popular Q&A's for Facial Masks

1. What are the different types of face masks?

Face masks come in lots of different forms such as sheets, clays, creams and gels. Clay masks are great for oily and acne-prone skin, absorbing excess oil and drawing out impurities. Cream masks offer hydration and nourishment, perfect for dry or sensitive skin. Gel masks soothe and cool irritated skin, while sheet masks, soaked in serum, provide targeted treatments in a convenient single-use format. 

2. What are the benefits of using a face mask?

Face masks offer a concentrated treatment to address specific skin concerns. Facial masks are highly targeted to hydrate, plump, smooth, brighten, purify and soothe the skin. They are also a wonderfully relaxing and pampering addition to your skincare routine.

3. How do I choose the right face mask for my skin?

Consider your unique skin type and concerns when choosing the right mask for. For dry skin, look for hydrating masks with ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid or Aloe. For oily or acne-prone skin, clay or charcoal masks can help purify and balance. If you have sensitive skin, opt for calming masks with ingredients like Chamomile and Blue Tansy.

4. How often should I use a face mask?

It's best to include a facial treatment mask into your weekly skincare routine. 1-2 times a week is ideal, however some masks like peel masks are designed for intense exfoliation and are best used only once per week. Always check the product instructions for specific recommendations. If you have sensitive skin, you may want to start with a once a week treatment and pay attention to how your skin responds. 

5. Can I use a face mask with other skincare products?

Yes! It's best to use a face mask after cleansing and before applying serums or moisturisers. This allows the mask to penetrate effectively and deliver its concentrated benefits. If you are using a peel mask with active AHA's or Glycolic Acid, avoid using this immediately after exfoliating as this can irritate the skin.
