Things You'll Need:
- Exfoliating face mask
- 15 minutes, more or less
-
Step 1
Look for masks that are the right skin type for your skin, either oily, dry, or combo. Use two different masks if you have combo skin. Pick an oily skin mask for oily parts and a dry skin mask for the dry parts of your face. Use a clay mask for oily skin, kaolin clay works well. Clear up your acne with a sulfur based clay mask. Use a moisturizing exfoliating mask for dry skin and apply moisturizer afterwards.
-
Step 2
Figure out what you want to do for your skin. Pick an Beta Hydroxy Acid mask to deeply exfoliate your pores. Remove blackheads and whiteheads with an Beta Hydroxy Acid mask.
-
Step 3
Use an Alpha Hydroxy Acid exfoliating mask to erase acne pigmentation marks, sun spots, and to just help exfoliate the top layer of your skin. Try an Alpha Hydroxy Acid mask for your acne, if Beta Hydroxy Acid (salicylic acid) does not work for you. Make your skin radiant with an Alpha Hydroxy Acid mask too.
-
Step 4
Choose a fruit enzyme exfoliating mask to gently dissolve dead surface skin cells. Use a fruit enzyme mask if you want the benefits of an Alpha Hydroxy mask, but want something more gentle.
-
Step 5
Look for pH balanced exfoliating masks, especially when it comes to Alpha Hydroxy Acid or Beta Hydroxy Acid masks. Make sure that the exfoliating masks have a pH of 3.5 to 4.5, otherwise the mask may irritate your skin or not work to its' full potential.
-
Step 6
Use a manual exfoliating scrub mask if your skin likes it. Pick a scrub with tiny grains. Make sure the scrub particles are not sharp. Gently massage your face with the scrub.
