I know, we are all tired of wearing face masks – but we’re not talking about that kind!
If you’re seeking something a little extra for your summer skin, skincare face masks help target specific issues super fast. Let’s face it, masks are not pretty. Whether they are made of a muddy mess or blue goop, both make you look like a raccoon. But these kinds of face masks can work wonders if you don’t want to splurge on pricey salon treatments.
How much can a mask do if it’s only on your face for ten minutes?
You’d be surprised! Studies have shown that face masks help all those beneficial ingredients sink deeper into your skin, with a more concentrated dose in a short amount of time. Don’t leave them on for too long because some potent actives like exfoliating acids or oils can irritate. Find that sweet spot!
Spending more time outdoors means more pollution exposure, and hot temps and sweating through your sunscreen can lead to clogged pores, (not to mention painful sunburns!). Summer face masks can quickly address all these concerns. You may be more relaxed in the summer, but your skin can become stressed! The secret is listening to your skin and feeding it what it needs to be healthy. There’s a face mask for everything – read on…
