Facial Mask Directions

Pamper yourself with a facial mask.

A facial mask is a spa or at-home treatment that calms blemishes and skin irritations, refines and minimizes the size of pores, removes excess oil and improves skin circulation. When searching for a facial mask, you'll find a few different types: mud or clay, cream or gel masks and peel-off masks. Mud or clay masks tighten pores and draw out impurities. Cream or gel masks hydrate and nourish the skin and peel-off masks lift away dead skin cells. Select a mask that most suits your needs and apply it once or twice a week to see results.
