The skin on the face is very sensitive and responds to changes in many factors like weather, stress, lifestyle, and cosmetics.
A regular skincare routine will help our skin to overcome these changes. With the right mix of skincare products, your skin will still be elastic, nourished, and hydrated.
Each of us longs for beautiful skin that will be radiant and perfect. Nourishing facial masques are a good starting point to achieve that goal. However, to achieve the desired effect, it is necessary to follow the basic skincare rules. We will advise you on how to do it.
How to choose a suitable facial masque?
Start with nourishing your skin sooner before the first wrinkles or other imperfections on your skin occur.
Using a suitable facial masque for your skin type regularly will provide your skin with nutrition and hydration. It can help with common skin problems such as pores, acne, or wrinkles. It is essential to know your skin type so that you can use the masque to give your skin everything it needs.

Facial masques for normal skin type
If you are one of the lucky ones, it is easier for you to choose suitable cosmetics. The main reason is that normal skin type usually does not have any major problems with enlarged pores, acne, or irritated skin.
This skin type does not need any special attention and care. Nevertheless, you should clean and hydrate your skin regularly to keep a healthy look and elasticity.
Strengthening and hydrating facial masques are suitable for normal skin type. This type of facial masque immediately supplies the skin with the necessary nutrients, restores its energy, and strengthens your skin’s protective layer.
Facial masques for combination skin type
The most common problems of this skin type are in the area of the T-zone, i.e., on the forehead, chin, and nose. Usually, the skin is oily in this zone, and the cheek area is dry, so it lacks sebum.
If you have this skin type and suffer from acne, your skin is oily and irritated, then clay (or similar type) facial masques are the right choice. These types of masques can deeply cleanse, brighten and rejuvenate your skin. Due to their consistency and composition, they do not irritate the skin but have a calming effect.
The cleansing clay facial masque removes impurities and excess grease from the skin, protects it from external factors, thoroughly cleans pores, and prevents the shining effect on your skin. This type of facial masque leaves your skin hydrated and soft.
Facial masques for dry skin type
If you have a dry skin type, you are probably struggling with the feeling of roughness and lack of hydration, but also with small scales on your skin. Dry and rough skin can suffer greatly, especially in cold weather, when more contracted and irritated.
Irritated skin deserves a good dose of hydration. Therefore, when choosing a facial masque, reach for a nourishing masque with minerals but avoid irritating and perfumed products.
How to apply the facial masque in 3 steps
If you already know your skin type and have chosen the right facial masque, you are only three easy steps away from having beautiful skin in 15 minutes.
The first rule is to apply the facial masque to clean skin. You will ensure the best effect on your skin by cleansing it and opening its pores before applying the facial masque. This way, your skin will absorb the masque nutrition components and benefit from them.
Apply the facial masque in sufficient quantity with thoroughly washed fingers or a cosmetic brush from the center of your face to the sides.
Also, don’t forget the neck and décolleté. Leave the facial masque on for at least 15 minutes or as stated in the product description.
Wash the facial masque with lukewarm water and dry your skin very gently. After drying, apply a thin layer of night cream. It would be best if you repeated this routine regularly. However, please do not overdo it with the use of facial masques. With frequent use of facial masques, the pores on your skin will always be open and thus clog quickly.
