THE PREFECT FACE MASKS FOR EVERY SKIN TYPE
What is that 10 minute fix when your skin needs some immediate care? A face mask! Whether you're looking to fill out fine lines, rehydrate parched skin or detox congested pores, face masks are the secret weapon that takes your results to a new level. So, if you're struggling to find a hero product in your daily regime, then look no further.
Dry Skin
Look for something that will give nourishment and has anti-aging benefits to help plump the skin. Masks rich in antioxidants as well as nourishing oils are perfect. Also, before applying any mask gently exfoliate the face so the mask's ingredients can better penetrate the skin. For dry skin, apply a soft, hydrating mask to any dry areas on your face concentrating on the cheeks, neck and décolletage.

The Solution Hydrating Face Mask that contains Hyaluronic Acid which helps dry, thirsty skin lock in moisture.
Congested Skin
Clogged pores can make your skin tired, dull and prone to blackheads. Use an antioxidant-rich mask with ingredients like clay for clarifying and lavender for de-stressing. Remember to stay clear of black, grainy masks that crack on the skin. Always use a clean, very soft washcloth steeped in warm water to steam the pores open and wipe the face clean. Gentle, repeated, upward strokes over the face and neck will provide a mild exfoliation. Spread the mask over your cheeks and T-zone (the most common trouble spots), or simply spot-treat your most congested areas.

Acne Prone Skin
Acne-prone skin is sensitive in its own way, because it overreacts to an unbalanced moisture level. Always opt for a gentle, clay-based mask, because they are wonderful at absorbing excess oil and refining the skin

Mature Skin
Mature skin needs moisture to help it retain a plumped appearance, especially around fine lines. The delicate eye area is a special concern, since crow's feet come into play. Make sure your mask also has plenty of natural oils in it like omega-3s to help nourish and plump your skin. And use an eye mask and a face mask in conjunction for a full-face uplift!

Oily Skin
Oily skin can sometimes be a symptom of not moisturizing the skin enough. Just as your body needs good fat, your skin needs good oil. Stripping oil from the skin makes it create more sebum, which will leave you oilier. A mask rich in replenishing, lightweight oils like jojoba and tea tree will help balance out oily skin.
