The fabulous world of face masks – application and possibilities after the summer
After a long, hot summer, your skin is yearning for a little more attention and care. Sun, sweat, chlorine and salt water are all really hard on your skin. Face masks are the perfect solution to counteract this stress. They provide intensive care without you having to change your entire routine or products. Here you can find out how to use masks after the summer so that your skin benefits as much as possible. This will help you make your skin shine again quickly, even after the most stressful summer.
Face masks: effects and benefits
Face masks are true all-rounders when it comes to intensive skin care. Masks contain highly concentrated active ingredients that penetrate deep into the skin and can specifically improve specific skin problems.
One of the greatest strengths of masks is their versatility. They come in a wide variety of versions and for a wide range of skin needs, so that everyone can find the right face mask. These are some of the possible effects and benefits:
- Face masks can moisturize dry skin and help it to regenerate.
- They can soothe sensitive skin and support the skin barrier.
- Masks can help repair sun damage or other environmental damage.
- They can intensively supply the skin with vitamins, antioxidants and other nourishing ingredients.
- Face masks for impure skin or oily skin can balance sebum production and combat pimples.
- Masks are an invaluable aid when it comes to anti-aging.
What is special about care masks?
Face masks work so well because they usually take effect for 15 minutes or more. This gives the skin time to absorb all the helpful substances and to transfer them to the exact layers of skin where they are needed. This is why rich masks are a fabulous addition to your usual creams and serums.
Another advantage: masks offer moments of well-being and relaxation. They are not only good for your skin, but also give you the good feeling of taking care of yourself.
Using masks effectively: tips and tricks
Once or twice a week, you should use a mask that meets your current skin needs. If the skin on your face is particularly in need, you can also apply a mask every day.
The optimal time for most masks is in the evening. Then the skin can regenerate perfectly overnight. If you need a special glow or have a hard day ahead of you, you can also use a mask in the morning.
Using the mask is extremely simple. But these tips will help you get the most out of your face mask:
1. Clean the skin thoroughly before applying the mask! When makeup, dirt and grease are removed, the active ingredients can penetrate the skin better. In some cases, a gentle peeling can be useful in preparation. (Be careful if you have very sensitive skin!)
2. Apply the mask to the entire face, but avoid the areas directly around the lips and eyes!
3. Now you just have to let the face mask take effect. The exact exposure time is on the packaging. It is usually between 10 and 20 minutes.
4. Depending on the product, wash off the residue with warm water, massage it in or use a cosmetic tissue to remove it!
5. Then apply your usual cream. If you want, you can also use a serum beforehand
Even more intensive care through multi-masking
Not every part of the skin on the face is the same. That's why multi-masking involves using different masks at the same time. For example, you can use face masks for dry skin on the cheeks and pamper the T-zone with a mask for oily or blemished skin.
