What’s the best face mask for you?

Remember the days when the only way to get a decent facial was through an appointment at a spa or beauty salon? Well, now there’s loads of beauty and skincare treatments widely available so that we can have our very own spa days in the comfort of our homes.

A trending skincare treatment we couldn’t overlook were face masks, and while many women have already started using them – not every woman has hopped on that train yet. The reason for this might be that some women don’t know which mask is best suited for them.

Here’s everything you need to know about the most popular face masks on the market:

Sheet mask

Did you know that sheet masks originated from Japan and South Korea? This fact comes as no surprise because these countries are known for their dedication to skincare and cosmetics. What stands out about sheet masks is that they’re generally suitable for all skin types and they require minimal effort – you just apply one onto your face, relax and peel it off after 15-30 minutes.

POND’S Skin Brightening Serum Mask minimises pores and helps to boost your skin’s glow from within to reveal luminous, glowing skin. The best part? You don’t have to rinse it off, simply massage the excess product into your skin, and you’ll notice the results.

Peel-off mask

Peel-off masks work by removing dead skin cells and dust so that your skin is visibly clearer with an instant glow. They’re ideal for people with oily skin because they also assist in removing oil from the skin’s surface without resulting in dehydration.

But keep in mind that you should still wash your face beforehand to prep your skin for the mask. The only downfall with using peel-off masks is that they may be uncomfortable upon removal.

Gel mask

Gel masks are hydrating, lightweight and gentle on the skin – which makes them ideal for people with sensitive and dry skin. They give your skin a cooling, soothing feeling because they’re often infused with antioxidants and collagen to repair and protect the skin.

And there you have it! Now you know which face mask is best suited for you.

Remember to use your face mask in combination with the best skin care products for your skin type – for beautiful, healthy skin.
