How often should you apply a face mask?
It all depends on the type of mask and your skin's needs. Generally, once or twice a week is enough to maintain skin balance. Hydrating or radiance masks, such as SHINING STAR Flash Glow Mask from Made with CARE, can be incorporated more regularly into your routine. While purifying or nourishing masks, such as the Absorbent Mask IOMA Paris, can be used according to periods and specific needs (fatigue, dryness, excess sebum, etc.).
How to apply a mask correctly?
Always start by cleansing your face to prepare your skin. Then apply an even layer of your chosen mask to dry skin, avoiding the eye area. Leave on for the recommended time, usually between 10 and 15 minutes, then remove with warm water or a soft cotton pad depending on the texture. For nighttime formulas, such as Vitality Sleeping Mask from IOMA Paris, simply rinse the next morning.
Should you apply cream after a face mask?
Yes, it is recommended, especially after applying a mask. Even if the skin is visibly plumped and soft, applying a moisturizer helps prolong the benefits of the mask and strengthen the skin barrier. A cream adapted to your skin type will seal in hydration and optimize the effects of the treatment you have just applied.
