Face Mask

Face mask for men

A mask or face mask can be divided into two camps: a cleansing mask and a hydrating mask. The cleansing masks are often clay masks or charcoal face masks. Charcoal and certain clays are popular ingredients in this latter category, as they help to draw impurities out of your pores for a deep cleanse.

Hydrating masks are often sheet masks, so a type of sheet that you place on your face. This kind of mask contains many nourishing and hydrating ingredients to deeply care for your skin, helping to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

Why use a face mask as a man?

A clay mask is good to use if you regularly suffer from blemished skin or acne. A charcoal face mask is one of the deepest cleanses you can do for your face. It helps to draw out excess oil, dirt and impurities from your skin.

A clay mask is a supplement to a good face care regimen to keep the chance of breakouts and spots as small as possible. Spots occur when dirt builds up in your pores and they become inflamed. A face mask helps to prevent it from getting that far.

A sheet mask is applied to cleansed skin if you want to nourish your skin deeply with healthy ingredients for an extra hydrating effect. Ideal for men with dry or sensitive skin. It also has anti-ageing or collagen boosting properties.

How often should you apply a facial mask?

It is good to apply a face mask about 1 to 2 times a week. It is best to apply a face mask after using a scrub, as you will have already removed all the dead skin cells from your skin. That way the path is clear for a deeper cleansing or hydration from the mask.

It is then important to let a mask dry and do its work. That usually takes around 10 to 20 minutes, but this is indicated on the packaging.

After a clay mask, it is important to properly hydrate your skin again. So do not forget to apply a moisturiser or day cream to nourish and hydrate your skin again. After a hydrating sheet mask, gently massage the remaining gel into your skin and you are done.
