Collection: Face masks

Benefits of face masks: Face masks usually have a quick and noticeable effect, which can include soothing, moisturising, tightening pores, etc. For example, sheet face masks are useful to use before make-up, as they instantly make the skin look plump and moisturised, and help make-up go on nicer.

Types of face masks: Face masks are generally classified according to their texture. The most popular are sheet face masks, which are made of a kind of thin cloth and are shaped to cover the entire face except for the eye and lip areas. Sheet masks are richly soaked in serums or essences that are rich in ingredients that are beneficial to the skin, so that when you take the mask off, all you have to do is to gently dab the residual serum or essence from the mask onto your skin, and you don't have to wash your face. Similar to sheet face masks are hydrogel masks, which are thicker, denser and made of a gel-like material that can retain more moisture and adhere better to the skin.

Another widely known type of face mask is the clay mask. These masks are made of different types of clay, which absorbs oil and tightens the pores, resulting in a clearer, brighter complexion.

There is also a type of cream mask. This is one of the gentlest facial masks, designed to remove dead cells, tone and revitalise the skin. They usually contain ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, which gives the skin intense hydration and restores its natural radiance. After using a cream face mask, your skin will feel soft, smooth and refreshed.

There are also night masks, otherwise known as sleep masks. They are designed to be applied to the face before going to bed and kept on all night. These masks usually have deep moisturising and nourishing properties and help support the skin's natural repair processes.

How do I choose a face mask? Due to the wide range of face masks available, it can sometimes be difficult to find the right product for you. Therefore, these few tips can help you when choosing a mask.

First of all, we recommend that you choose a face mask according to your skin type or specific skin problems.

Face masks by skin type: for oily skin - the best choice of masks for oily skin is clay masks. They help to control sebum production, tighten pores and cleanse impurities. Sheet masks enriched with hyaluronic acid or charcoal are also suitable.

Mixed skin - If you have a mixed complexion, it is advisable to combine two face masks: clay masks can be used for oily areas and moisturising face masks can be applied to areas where the skin is drier. As with other skin types, sheet masks are suitable for combination skin.

Normal skin - a variety of face masks can be used for normal skin types, and cream masks are particularly recommended as they help to maintain healthy skin conditions.

Dry skin - dry skin needs intensive hydration and nourishment, so night masks are recommended to provide the skin with hydrating and nourishing ingredients.

Face masks for skin problems People suffer from various skin problems, such as dehydration, pigmentation and various skin rashes. In order to choose the right face mask to address a particular skin problem, it is essential to consider the ingredients of the product.

If you are struggling with skin pigmentation, choose masks that contain vitamin C or alpha hydroxy acid (AHA). These active ingredients will help to combat uneven skin tone and brighten the complexion. To tackle dehydration, choose face masks containing hyaluronic acid and ceramides.

If your skin suffers from various rashes, it is recommended to include face masks enriched with acids in your routine. For example, for oily, acne-prone skin, masks with salicylic acid are particularly suitable. This acid has anti-inflammatory properties, cleanses the pores and regulates sebum secretion.
