What are the types of masks?

Face masks sold in stores may have a cream, gel, paraffin, powder, collagen, or silicone texture. Some of them can be used immediately, while others need to be diluted with water, bringing the desired consistency.

The most popular masks are:

1. Gel. Like a light gel, easy to apply and rinse off. Delicately care for the skin of the face, toning and refreshing it. Contribute to the retention of moisture in the deep layers of the dermis.
2. Cream. They have a nourishing cream texture. Easy to apply and well absorbed by the skin. They contain components that nourish and moisturize the face, preventing the destruction of its hydrolipidic mantle. As a rule, they do not need to be washed off.
3. Clay. Made on the basis of red, white, or other clay. In addition, natural ingredients can be added to it. They help to get rid of inflammatory processes, dry out acne, make acne and post-acne marks less noticeable.
4. Alginate. They are made from alginate clay, to which useful extracts, amino acids, and nutritional nutrients are added. This mask is applied all over the face. Even on lips and eyes. It soothes the skin and gives it a radiant, youthful appearance.
5. Fabric. They look like a “face” made of fabric and have slits for the eyes, nose, and lips. Such a mask is impregnated with liquid, providing lightening, strengthening, moisturizing, matting the skin, and the like.
6. Collagen. Ideal for moisturizing, nourishing, and restoring lips and eyes. They have a gel texture and cool the sensitive epidermis, contributing to its regeneration and toning.

However, despite all the benefits of face masks, it is not recommended to do them daily. In this case, the ingredients contained in their composition simply will not have time to work to the fullest. Nutrient components need 1-2 days to fully reveal their effect on the skin. Therefore, it is important that oversaturation does not occur. After all, it can adversely affect the skin. This is because the composition of each mask is individual, and mixing the ingredients together can lead to negative consequences. For example, if the components of the masks have not had time to be absorbed by the skin, then these elements can react.
