What’s the best face mask for my skin type?
@mirandakerr
- Dry Skin: You will want to opt for face masks that contain hyaluronic acid, honey, glycerin, shea butter or ceramides to help nourish and hydrate the skin.
- Ageing Skin: With the help of Vitamin C, you can get a youthful glow and protect your skin from sun damage, so look for this ingredient in your face mask. Vitamin C boosts collagen, which helps prevent wrinkles while also preventing hyperpigmentation caused by exposure to too many UV rays.
- Sensitive Skin: Consider face masks with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, aloe vera and chamomile for soothing the skin. Masks that contain cucumber extract work well to reduce redness caused by irritation or rosacea.
- Oily Skin: Those who have oily skin will benefit from a clay or charcoal mask because they absorb excess oil. Charcoal can also help clear clogged pores, making it an excellent choice for those looking to reduce acne breakouts!
- Combination Skin: Clay and charcoal masks can be a great option for those with combination skin because they help to balance out the oil in your T-zone. Hyaluronic acid is also an excellent moisturiser, while salicylic acid will help minimise acne and breakouts.
- Acne-prone Skin: Opt for face masks that contain exfoliating BHA (salicylic acid) and AHA (glycolic acid) acid to prevent acne breakouts, brighten skin and promote collagen production. A clay or charcoal face mask can also be a good option for this skin type to absorb excess oil.
