6 types of face masks for every kind of skin

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.

HOW TO: Apply 2 times a week to the face and eye contour. Remove the face mask after 15 minutes or leave it on for all night.

PEEL-OFF MASK

ORIGINS GINZING PEEL-OFF MASK

FABRIC MASK

DR.JART+ DERMASK PEELING MASK

Skin type: stressed

A carbon bubble mask that gently exfoliates the skin, smoothes the appearance of the complexion and helps to thoroughly cleanse the pores, rebalancing the pH of the skin.

HOW TO: Apply the fabric mask to the face (it is normal if it begins to "fry" slightly), leave on for 3/5 minutes then take off and rinse with warm water.
