The Best Face Masks for Every Skin TypeRehab skin instantly with face masks that deliver plumper, softer and clearer complexions in 15 minutes or less |
If you think that face masks are nonessential, luxurious treats for your skin, you're about to get schooled. According to celebrity aesthetician Sonya Dakar, a face mask is "an integral part of a regular skin care regimen." Whether you're looking to fill out fine lines, rehydrate parched skin or detox congested pores, face masks are the secret weapon that takes your results to a new level, explains Dakar.
The key is application. According to Dakar, most of us are using masks all wrong. "I see a lot of people using masks that are too strong for their skin. An ultra-drying mud or clay mask is not appropriate for most skin types, not even acne. There are much gentler formulations out there that will offer the same results," says Dakar. It's like using the biggest gun in your arsenal to blow away an ant.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, she says some people use masks that are too waxy and oily, which will only clog their pores.
To avoid using products that aren't right for your skin type, Dakar recommends tapping into the dual-mask trend that allows you to target each area of your face with a specific cocktail. A lot of people have dry cheeks and an oily T-zone, says Dakar, so they should layer masks accordingly to create a custom treatment.
Here, the best masks for every skin concern -- to take your complexion to next-level flawlessness.
