6 types of face masks for every kind of skin
From dry to greasy skin, every one wants its mask
November 22nd, 2019
When we talk about skincare, there is no better form of beauty than taking 15 minutes to make a face mask. Why? Because masks contain a much higher percentage of active and cosmeceutical ingredients than creams.
Whether they are clay masks for a deep cleaning or moisturizing formulas in cream to be applied at night, face masks serve to give a "push" to our skin when it needs it most. In addition, they allow you to improve and accelerate the penetration of invigorating and moisturising products (which you use daily), allowing you to achieve optimal results on the complexion.
However, there are many choices on the market. There are masks of all kinds: creamy, the fabric ones, gel, peel-off and many others. Which one to prefer then?
Here are our 6 must-have face masks to choose based on your skin type.
CLAY MASK
COCO WOW French Pink Clay Mask
Skin type: oily, acne-prone
Based on pink clay and caolin, which absorb toxins and excess sebum, this type of mask purifies the pores in depth for a uniform complexion and a smooth "matte" effect.
HOW TO: Apply a thick layer to the cleansed skin, avoiding the eye area. Leave on for 7-10 minutes then rinse profusely. To be used 1 to 3 times a week.
