Beauty mask for face

Beauty mask for the face has one main feature - a quick and simultaneously precisely directed action on the skin. A characteristic feature of face masks is the solution of a specific problem, for example, moisturizing, purifying, exfoliating, etc. Masks should be used in combination with other facial care products - creams, serums, etc. While the universal cream maintains a certain balance, nourishes, softens the skin, the mask has a therapeutic and health-improving effect on our skin, i.e. Is aimed at eliminating one existing problem.

Some women believe that the beauty mask for the face is absolutely not necessary in care, the usual cream has many wonderful properties - it rejuvenates, nourishes, moisturizes, in general, makes the skin irresistible and does not take too much time. But this is a mistaken opinion, the mask has a much deeper and wider effect in facial care.

The cream, unlike the mask, should last on the skin all day (all night). Before him is a lot of tasks - do not overdo, do not tighten, moisten, eliminate greasy shine, go for make-up, have a pleasant fragrance. That is why some of the ingredients that are part of the cream, absolutely do not need our skin. When creating a mask, the situation is quite different - it does not matter color, smell, consistency, here the main benefit and effectiveness. In the face mask contains a large number of active ingredients and use it once or twice a week. On the impact on the skin all face masks are different, in this case you need to choose, based on the skin problem - fatty, dry, fading, problematic, etc.

Nourishing, moisturizing masks

As the name suggests, masks nourish and moisturize the skin that needs it. Usually it is necessary in the cold season, when the skin suffers from a temperature drop, cold wind, overdried air in the room. If there is a tightness of the skin, there is peeling, then this mask is exactly what you need. Consistency of masks is usually thick, creamy, oily. Such masks do not absorb the skin, but remain a layer on the surface of the skin. There are such masks that do not need to be washed off (you should only get a surplus wipe with a napkin).

Mask-film

Mask-film has an exfoliating effect. Usually such masks are sticky, gel-like in consistency. After application on the face begin to dry out, forming a film that fits snugly to the skin. This mask is removed from below upwards (from the chin), along with the film, the horny skin particles are removed. In such masks, components can be added that enhance the exfoliating effect, for example, fruit acids.

Mask-roll

This mask as well as the previous one has an exfoliating effect. The mask should be applied evenly on the face, it will dry up a little and form a dense soft layer, which must be rolled with fingers. The process of exfoliation is due to mechanical action on the skin (rolling), also the chemical components of the mask help to remove the dead layer, which helps to disconnect unnecessary cells. Usually the amount of such components is high enough that in case of dry or sensitive skin it was possible not to roll up, but simply to wash off with warm water, avoiding excessive injury of the skin.

Mask-pilling acid

Another kind of exfoliating mask. Such masks are an alternative to costly salon procedures. Their action is based on dissolution due to the upper layer of keratinized particles contained in the acid composition. It is not recommended to use such masks for dry or sensitive skin, due to too aggressive components.

Cleansing Mask

Virtually all cleaning masks contain clay (or it directly clay) in the composition. After applying such a mask after a few minutes, it starts to harden and tighten the skin. In this case, you can cover the mask with a layer of food film (pre-making slits for the eyes, mouth, nose). The mask will not tighten the skin, and the greenhouse effect created by the film will only enhance the effect of the mask.

Heating masks

This is another kind of cleansing mask. In contact with the skin, this mask begins to intensively heat, as a result of which pores are opened and harmful substances, dust, and contaminants are expelled outward. A good effect after this kind of masks are scrubs or peelings, which will remove the residue of contamination from the opened pores. Some manufacturers produce products that have a dual effect - thermo-scrubs. Such products on wet skin begin to heat up, and exfoliating ingredients help to remove dirt and clean pores.

Toning masks

Such masks, as a rule, are used when you need a quick result, for example, before a party. This mask perfectly refreshes, tightens up, returns a blush. The composition and consistency of the mask can be the most diverse, most toning masks contain vitamins, extracts of cocoa, ginseng, etc. Masks are simply necessary for women who live in large cities. In the people such masks are compared with the "Cinderella effect" because of a quick, but short-lived result.

Masks for the eyes (lips)

The skin in the eye area is very delicate and delicate, so to care for it you need to use the most light masks that are designed to care for these areas of the skin. Such masks can be moisturizing or nutritious, applied as usual masks, after a certain period of time they are removed with a napkin or washed off with warm water.

Special masks

Masks that solve a specific type of skin problems. For example, soothing, for sensitive skin, whitening, etc. Masks, depending on the purpose, have a different consistency, differ in composition, but invariably show a positive result on the face.

Scrubs can also be attributed to face masks, since they have the same effect: effective effect in a short time. Scrubs are applied to the face by massaging movements, then washed off with cool or warm water. In the process of massaging the skin gets all the useful substances that are at the heart of the scrub (oils, vitamins). When choosing a scrub, you need to take into account the abrasiveness of the exfoliating components (soft microballoons, apricot chips, etc.) and the composition of the main part. For oily skin, scrubs with oil content are not suitable, and when dry, scrubs that have anti-inflammatory components can not be used.
