When your skin looks a little dull, tired, or stressed, it might be calling out for a glow-boosting mask. Facial masks are more than just a self-care ritual—they’re targeted treatments that can revive, replenish, and restore your skin.
Why Use Face Masks?
Masks provide a concentrated dose of active ingredients to help improve your skin’s condition. With regular use, they can:
Brighten your complexion
Boost hydration
Detoxify and purify pores
Calm irritation
Balance oil production
How Often Should You Mask?
Most skin types benefit from using a mask 2–3 times per week. For more intensive treatments like exfoliating or clay masks, 1–2 times a week is ideal to avoid overdoing it. Always follow up with hydrating products to protect your skin barrier.
Matching Masks to Your Skin Type:
Dry Skin: Go for cream or gel masks with hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin, and Aloe Vera.
Oily or Acne-Prone Skin: Clay masks with Kaolin, Bentonite, or Salicylic Acid help draw out excess oil and clear pores.
Combination Skin: Multi-masking (using different masks on different areas) works wonders. Hydrate dry zones and purify oily ones.
Sensitive Skin: Look for calming ingredients like Chamomile, Cucumber Extract, and Panthenol (Vitamin B5).
Dull or Tired Skin: Brightening masks with Vitamin C, Niacinamide, or gentle exfoliants like Lactic Acid can revive radiance.
Types of Masks:
Cream Masks: Ideal for deep hydration and nourishment.
Clay Masks: Great for detoxifying and mattifying oily or breakout-prone skin.
Sheet Masks: Convenient and packed with hydrating serums.
Exfoliating Masks: Use AHAs or enzymes to slough off dead skin and improve glow.
Sleeping Masks: Applied at night to seal in hydration while you rest.
Skin Bytes Tip:
Always apply your mask to freshly cleansed skin. Follow with your serum and moisturiser to lock in the benefits. Don’t forget your neck and décolletage—they deserve some glow too!
Healthy skin is glowing skin—and with the right mask in your routine, you’re just a few minutes away from a radiant boost.
