Facial mask
Facial masks are nothing more than aesthetic treatments aimed at skin health. Therefore, its main function is to promote deep hydration, nourish the skin and restore freshness and elasticity. And because they are products that are easy to apply and provide immediate results, they have become very popular.
Nowadays it is difficult to find a person who has never worn a face mask. However, using a face mask does not exclude other daily skin care, such as using moisturizer and sunscreen.
The mask serves more as a revitalizing treatment and enhances other care, so much so that it should be used once a week, or depending on the skin’s needs, twice. Therefore, it is a treatment that addresses the most diverse skin needs.
Types of face mask
With so many skin types with specific needs, the industry has invested heavily in products that address each of these specificities. Therefore, there is a huge variety of face masks on the market today. Therefore, choosing the right product is essential to obtain the best result. Let’s get to know the most common types of face masks:
Washable
These are the ones that require washing after the action time. They are a great option for those looking for deep and lasting hydration. The results are noticeable immediately after washing, with even greater efficiency when incorporated into the weekly skin care routine. One of the most used and standout washable facial masks are clay masks, which, due to their detox action and anti-inflammatory properties, help treat acne.
Pell off
Pell-off masks are those that, after application, are allowed to dry for a while and are finally removed entirely, removing all impurities from the skin. However, its results are not as deep and long-lasting, as when it dries, the product does not transmit all the active ingredients to the skin. But it still offers instant revitalization, in addition to being very practical.
In sheet
These are those masks that come in disposable sheets, made with fabric fibers that mold to the shape of the face. They are great because they have a high concentration of revitalizing agents, which promote instant action on the skin. This type of mask, however, is not recommended for continuous treatment, and is more commonly used for those looking for radiant, vibrant skin before an important event or occasion.
Non-removable
As the name suggests, these masks do not need to be removed after application. Typically, they are part of the night treatments category, almost always in gel or fluid emulsion textures. Therefore, since they act on the skin for longer, they offer greater use of nutrients, as the skin will have more time to absorb the product.
Benefits of face mask
Facial masks have special and concentrated formulas, with active ingredients that aim to restore the skin’s vitality and health. Therefore, among the various benefits of regular use of this product, we can highlight deep hydration, detox, whitening action, nutrition, and rejuvenating action. Furthermore, it improves the skin’s radiance and radiance, also reducing pores.
However, the biggest advantage of the face mask is its intensity. Due to its highly concentrated formula, which stays in contact with the skin for longer, this product has a much deeper and longer-lasting action than common moisturizing creams.
But to get all these benefits, it’s important to choose the ideal facial mask for your skin type. This will make all the difference in the outcome of the treatment. In addition to skin type, skin needs, lifestyle and age group must be taken into consideration. All of this will help you choose the best product for your skin.
For example, people who are exposed to the sun for a long time, the ideal is to look for a facial mask that restores freshness and hydration to the skin. For those over 40, opting for a facial mask with collagen in the formula will help keep your skin firmer and younger for longer.
The app
However, even with so many benefits for the skin, the facial mask is not for daily use, precisely because it has a very concentrated formula. Therefore, the recommendation is to use the product once a week, at most twice depending on your skin’s needs. Therefore, on other days, the ideal is to maintain your care routine as usual, starting with cleansing, then hydration and finally sun protection.
When applying the facial mask, it is necessary to take some basic precautions to obtain even more satisfactory results. First of all, wash your hands well with neutral soap and water, then wash your face as usual, with facial soap or cleansing gel. So, with clean facial skin, the facial mask should be applied.
The application is very simple, and regardless of the type of mask, the method is the same. Therefore, simply apply a thin layer of the product over your face to cover the entire skin and follow the instructions. Typically, the time for the product to act varies between 15 and 20 minutes. In the case of sheet masks, shape them according to the shape of your face.
After the period of action determined by the manufacturer, rinse your face with running water to remove all the product. In the case of sheet and pell-off masks, after removing the film, wash your face well. Remembering that using a facial mask does not replace daily skin care.
