Get Masked For The Season

It’s officially “Spooky Season”! That does not mean that your skincare routine changes need to be scary though. Fall changing into winter signifies heavier moisturizers and products that support a healthy skin barrier function while assisting in preventing water loss.

All Treats and No Tricks

Just like a moisturizer or a serum, a mask in your skincare routine is a means to deliver concentrated ingredients for targeted skincare concerns. The similarities between serums/moisturizers and masks is simple; they are are occlusive — by creating a physical barrier that locks in beneficial ingredients, allowing the skin to absorb more efficiently. The product is not washed off, but absorbed fully.

How Do I Apply A Mask & How Often?

Masks are easy to apply. In your home skincare routine, you should apply your mask after you cleanse and tone your skin.

For traditional masks, using a mask brush, apply an even layer of the mask to your face and neck area. You should be using a sweeping upward motion from the neck to the forehead. Let mask set for 15 to 20 minutes. Gently remove your mask with tepid water.

Rule of thumb is mask once a week depending on your skincare goals, especially for those who have sensitive skin. If you have oily skin, you can mask up to twice a week. For those who are on a more aggressive anti-aging skincare routine, you can mask twice a week as well.
