About Face Masks
What a treatment mask does
A treatment face mask is a concentrated, leave-on or rinse-off step that targets a specific need, from hydration and brightening to clarifying and gentle exfoliation. Medical-grade masks deliver actives such as hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, clay and gentle acids in a format designed for occasional, targeted use as a boost to your routine.
Types of face masks
- Hydrating masks: hyaluronic acid and humectants to plump dry, tired or dehydrated skin.
- Clay masks: absorb excess oil and help clarify congested, oily skin.
- Exfoliating masks: gentle acids or enzymes to smooth and brighten.
- Brightening masks: vitamin C and antioxidants to even the look of skin tone.
- Sheet and gel masks: a quick hydration and soothing boost.
Choosing a mask for your skin type
Match the mask to what your skin needs that week. Dry or dehydrated skin loves a hydrating mask, oily and congested skin benefits from a clay or exfoliating mask, and dull or uneven skin responds to a brightening mask. Sensitive skin should favor soothing, fragrance-conscious formulas.
How and when to use a mask
Use a mask one to three times a week, after cleansing, as a boost rather than a daily step. Rinse-off masks are removed before the rest of your routine; leave-on masks can be followed by your serum and moisturizer.
How long should I leave a mask on?
Follow the product instructions, usually ten to twenty minutes. Leaving a clay mask on until it fully dries and cracks can dehydrate the skin, so remove it while still slightly tacky.
Using masks with other actives
Avoid pairing a strong exfoliating mask with other strong actives such as retinol on the same night, to prevent irritation. Hydrating and soothing masks layer well with most routines.
