The difference face masks make to your skin
July 08 2022
A face mask is a great way to improve the appearance and health of your skin. In fact, such a face mask could treat a variety of issues ranging from dehydrated to irritated skin.
Let's take a look at a few face mask solutions to common skin conditions.
Face Mask Solutions to Common Conditions
• salicyclic acid and alpha-hydroxy acids for acne
• antioxidants (e.g., Vitamin C) for frine lines and wrinkles
• niacinamide for redness (rosacea)
• kojic acid, retinoids, and Vitamin C for dark spots and pigmentation
How Does a Face Mask Work?
The face mask creates a film and traps moisture in the skin along with the treatment, such as the ones we discussed above. Therefore, the face mask treatment has a greater chance of penetrating the skin and rejuvenating it.
A Word of Warning
Although a face mask promotes skin health effectively, do not overuse them. Use them up to once a week since overuse can lead to skin irritation. Such a weekly face mask will be perhaps the most crucial aspect of your skincare routine.
Are There At-Home Alternatives
While professional treatments are preferable, some opt for at-home alternatives which entail blending ingredients such as cucumbers, yogurt, and avocados. You then apply the resulting paste to your face.
While not the best option for most, it is viewed as a viable alternative for many who cannot afford professional treatment. After all, such individuals are utilizing fruits, vegetables, yogurt, and other groceries they likely already have in their kitchen.
That said, explore the professional face mask options and prices, exhausting all alternatives, before even considering any of the at-home alternatives.
