Face Masks
Written By Brittney Thurman
At home face masks are a great way to rejuvenate the skin or simply relax after a long day. There are many different types of masks for each skin type and desired outcome. Masks are a way to create a mini facial at home at a cheaper price and a fraction of the time. Before any formal event such as a pageant, a face mask is a way to prep the skin for makeup and enhance the look of your skin.
Acne Prone/ Oily Skin:
For those women with either acne prone or oily skin, there is a way to combat such obstacles. The best formula for this type of skin is a clay mask that dries after application. Clay masks absorb oil from the skin, minimize pores, and shrink active acne bacteria. A popular clay mask is the Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay mask, priced at $6.99. You can mix the powder clay with either water or apple cider vinegar, depending on you preference. Your pores will be smaller after applying this mask and creates a matte surface to apply makeup or skin products.
Dry/ Sensitive Skin:
Many women struggle with dry skin or have sensitive skin that reacts easily to certain products. A natural product that can help combat these difficulties is rose water. A mask infused with roses can soothe and tone the skin, preventing redness. A well-known product is the Fresh Rose Face Mask, sold at $62 per container. The rose petals yield nutrients that moisturize the skin and soothe irritation. This mask could be helpful to apply before a pageant in order to soothe the skin and create an even skin tone for the application of makeup.
Dull Skin:
If you simply want to boost the overall appearance of your skin or give it a natural glow, an exfoliating mask is the perfect solution to this problem. By exfoliating, the dead skin cells are removed from the surface, leaving a new layer of skin. A good product for glowing skin is the Olehenriksen Moment of Truth Polishing Sugar Mask. The natural sugar in the mask removes dead skin cells off of the surface of the skin, creating a fresh texture the brightens the skin. Apply this mask before a pageant and you will see the difference it can make when on stage.
There are many face masks that each serve a purpose for different skin types and textures, but finding the one that suits your needs is an easy way to reveal fresh, young skin.
