Putting on a face mask while you’re at home can be very relaxing. Nothing else can give you that spa-like feel except for, of course, going to an actual spa. But when you don’t have the time, money, or just want to relax at home while reading or watching TV, a face mask can give your skin great results and allow you to get in touch with your girly side. But with so many different varieties, which facial mask is right for you?
Acne- If you want to try to treat your acne by using a mask, make sure you buy the appropriate one made for acne-prone skin. Several masks are medicated while others reduce the amount of oils, while unclogging your pores, without medication. The latter doesn’t eliminate existing blemishes but it can reduce and control the amount of blemishes you get in the future by cleaning and minimizing your pores. Many medicated masks use the power of sulfur to help clear up existing blemishes while cleaning your pores at the same time. Sulfur can penetrate deep into your skin without over-drying. Use as directed depending on your skin type.
Firmer Skin – You can reduce the signs of aging with specially formulated facial masks. They’re made with powerful enzymes and peptides to penetrate into your skin and reverse the signs of aging. They can help reduce fine lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet, and sagging, leaving your face firmer and tighter. Try Azure Cosmeceuticals HydroPeptide face mask formulated with 15% Botazyme, a blend of enzymes, peptides, and antioxidants that stimulate your natural collagen production.
Natural Masks – If you just want a natural, homemade face mask that tones your skin and leaves it feeling soft and smooth, try using egg whites. Beat together the egg whites in a bowl (1-2 eggs should be enough) and spread the mixture on your skin’s surface, avoiding the entire eye area. Leave it on for 15 minutes or until completely dry. Wash off with tepid water, pat dry, and voilà! Your skin will feel softer and smoother because of the proteins, vitamins, and minerals within the egg whites. You can also make homemade masks using olive oil, oatmeal, yogurt, and many other inexpensive items you find in your fridge.
