CHOOSING A FACIAL MASKS FOR YOUR SKIN TYPE

Facial Masks are an important part of any skin care regime. It is recommended that you use a facial mask at least once a week. A weekly facial mask session cannot only help your skin receive vital moisture, but it can also ease skin disorders, control excess oil, luminate dull skin and work wonders on premature ageing.
Facial masks can be soothing or energizing, and the actions and rituals often involved with applying a facial mask can be an effective stress reliever and allow us some well-deserved pampering.

If you’re looking to add a beneficial step in your skin care regime, a weekly facial mask is a great addition. Whatever your skin type, there is a facial mask suited to you. Facial masks provide deep cleaning, tighten your pores, or brighten and exfoliate your face. Masks are not a “one size fits all” product though. There are clay masks, fruit extract masks, rubber masks, and gel masks, just to name a few. Before you buy a facial mask, you must recognize your skin type and buy accordingly and it is always best to get a recommendation from your therapist so you know you are always using the best products for your skin.

Germaine De Capuccini has a great range of masks available for you to use at home. We have outlined some of our favourites for you below.

Combination or oily skin
People with oily or combination skin do best with regular use of a clay mask. Clay is great for removing excess oil, deep cleaning your pores and preventing and clearing up blackheads. Natural clay is a great detoxifying treatment for your face without leaving your skin extra dry. Most clay masks work fine with sensitive skin.

We recommend: Exfoliating Dermo-Purifying mask, this creamy mask purifies intensely, exfoliates, mattifies and minimises pores. On oily skin it will help reduce the appearance of imperfections.
Dry/dehydrated Skin
People with dry skin use a mask for a very different reason than those with oily skin. You are not looking to reduce oil, but add moisture. Using a moisture mask will rejuvenate and plump your skin. You leave the mask on your skin for up to 10 minutes and then emulsify with water, rub it in a bit more before washing off the excess. You’ll notice immediately smoother, softer skin.

We recommend: Intense comfort hydractive mask, ssensational treatment that immediately makes skin recover the optimal levels of moisture. This mask will Recharge and reinforce the integrity of your skin.

Dull skin
If you’re looking for a boost of radiance, exfoliating masks will certainly help you. Look for a peel off mask which will exfoliate your skin leaving it smooth and fresh. You’ll be so glad you tried it when you see how happy you are with the immediate results.

We recommend: Timexpert Peel + C Radiance Mask, this mask Retextures and exfoliates. Repairs luminosity and vitality in dull skin and skin harmed by stress. With a tautening effect that immediately minimises the appearance of pores and expression lines.

Mature skin
If you’re looking to work against ageing and want to prevent the formation of lines and wrinkles then you should use a mask that will boost your skins defence and prevent premature ageing. This will give the appearance of a more youthful and firmer face.

We recommend: Essential youthfulness intensive mask, this creamy electric blue mask will provide an intensive cure in just a few minutes. Strengthening the skin defence and working to slow down the ageing process. Skin will look more plump, brighter and hydrated
