Cream Masks
-
Texture: Thick and creamy, designed to provide intense hydration and nourishment.
-
Benefits: Ideal for dry or sensitive skin, these masks help to moisturize, soothe, and improve skin texture. They often contain ingredients like shea butter, aloe vera, and oils.
-
Usage: Apply a generous layer to clean skin, leave on for a specified time (usually 10-20 minutes), and then rinse off or tissue off any excess.
Clay Masks
-
Texture: Applied as a paste. They dry down as they absorb excess oil and impurities.
-
Benefits: Best for oily or acne-prone skin, clay masks help to draw out toxins, reduce shine, and unclog pores. Common types of clay used include bentonite, kaolin, and French green clay.
-
Usage: Apply to clean skin, allow it to dry (usually around 10-15 minutes), then rinse off with warm water. It’s often recommended to use these masks once a week to maintain a clear complexion.
Both types of masks can be effective for enhancing your skincare routine, depending on your skin type and concerns!
