Moisturizing masks: Professional skin care right at home!
In recent years, facial masks of every variety have become more and more efficient and specialized, making them a beauty routine staple. Try them once and you’re sure to adopt for good this special kind of pampering!
A mask for each skin type:
- Moisturizing (dry or sensitive skin)
- Soothing (delicate and sensitive skin)
- Cleansing and purifying (oily skin)
- Smoothing and firming (mature skin anti-wrinkle)
The choice of mask depends on your skin type (and its condition!) and on the area of the body being treated. However, when skin is exposed to extreme cold in the winter or the harmful effects of the sun in the summer, moisturizing masks are a safe bet for everyone, regardless of skin type.
Preparing the way!
Start by thoroughly cleansing your face. Want a beauty tip from the pros? Do what estheticians do and exfoliate your skin before applying the mask. This will eliminate impurities from the epidermis and enhance the effectiveness of the treatment.Masks ready! Get set! Moisturize!
Moisturizing masks plump up the epidermis by infusing it with various types of active ingredients formulated to keep it well hydrated:
- Wheat germ oil
- Shea butter
- Hyaluronic acid
- Vitamins and certain minerals
Keep your skin glowing by using a moisturizing mask every 7 to 10 days, three to ten minutes each time (depending on the product used).
Certain masks come in a cream, others in a gel. Some rinse off with lukewarm water and others are peeled off the skin like a film.
