Facial masks are facial skin care products that can help to heal and restore your skin.





They help to remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin.





In the process, the skin pores are tightened and the skin appears smoother.





Facial skin masks come in different forms. Each of the different types will serve a different purpose.








MOISTURIZING FACIAL MASKS





Moisturizing masks are rich facial masks. They will improve the skin’s moisture levels. This means that flakiness, dry patches and even fine lines can be removed or reduced. The mask works like a moisturizer but more intensively and quickly. They are an ideal mask to use after sunbathing, or when your skin feels “tight”. Obviously, moisturizing masks are good choices for dry skin.





MUD AND CLAY FACIAL MASKS





Mud and clay mask is a good choice if you have oily skin. It will help to absorb excess impurities and grease that is on the skin, close up open pores, remove shininess and clear up blemishes.





Using mud mask on oily and acne-prone skin will give definite improvements.





Mud masks are sometimes used for the healing properties of mud from certain regions. Patients with psoriaris (a skin disorder characterised by thick red scaly patches of skin) improve in Dead Sea spas.





Sometimes known as wash-off masks, they contain clay products such as kaolin or bentonite and can dry up the skin. Hence, they are not suitable if you have dry skins.








EXFOLIATING FACIAL MASKS





Exfoliating masks can be used on any skin type. They have deep cleansing actions and will help to keep your skin in great condition.





Dead cells build-up will make your skin look dull and lead to problems like blackheads. Even normal skins may suffer from the build-up of dead skin cells. Facial masks that exfoliate as it cleanse will help to alleviate this problem.








PEEL-OFF FACIAL MASKS





Peel-off masks contain polyvinyl alcohol or vinyl acetate. They may come in liquid or gel form. These are applied and peeled off after 15 – 30 minutes. Hence, the name peel-off masks.





Peel-off masks are not very drying and may be used by any skin types.





Peel-off masks is refreshing for areas on the skin by clearing pores that are clogged. It will also help to nourish drier skins.
