Benefits of Masks
Face masks deliver highly concentrated actives, vitamins, and nutrients to the improve overall skin health. They differ from moisturizers or serums as they are occlusive. They create a physical barrier locking in ingredients, allowing them to absorb more efficiently. Masks are a great way to pamper and treat yourself on a weekly or biweekly basis.
These are a few different types:
Enzyme masks contain fruit enzymes typically derived from pineapples, papayas or pumpkins. They are used to exfoliate, or in other words break down dead skin cells and increase cell turnover, leaving the skin smoother, softer and brighter.
Sheet masks usually contain hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and/or antioxidants . They moisturize, help restore skin’s barrier, and help defend against free radicals.
Cream or gel masks are great options for people who have dry or sensitive skin or if you need a healthy boost of extra hydration.
Hydrojelly masks are organic and electrolyte infused to help increase skin’s ability to retain moisture and improve overall skin health. As most facial masks neglect the eye and lip areas, hydrojelly masks can go over the eyes and lips, amplifying the benefits for the entire face. The jelly texture provides extra full hydration and instant cool and soothing effects all at once. They also create a completely silky soft, occlusive barrier over the skin, which helps increase penetration of active ingredients along with topical serums into the skin.
