Face masks are treatments applied to the skin for a period of time,
then removed. Typically, they are applied to a dry, cleansed face,
avoiding the Eyes and Lips.
There are many kinds of face masks available, which typically fall into one or more of the following categories:
- Clay-based masks use kaolin clay or fuller's earth to transport
essential oils and chemicals to the Skin, and are typically left on
until completely dry. As the clay dries, it absorbs excess oil and dirt
from the surface of the skin and may help to clear blocked pores or draw comedowns to the surface. Because of its drying actions, clay-based
masks should only be used on oily skins.
- Peel masks are typically gel-like in consistency, and contain
various acids or exfoliating agents to help exfoliate the skin, along
with other ingredients to hydrate, discourage wrinkles, or treat uneven
skin tone. They are also left on to dry, and then gently peeled off.
They should be avoided by people with dry skin, as they also tend to be
very drying.
