Masks/Exfoliators

When do you need to use skincare masks or scrubs that exfoliate your skin, you ask? You can use a mask or scrub anytime you want to remove dead skin cells, but research which one is best for your skin type and skin condition such as acne or red irritated skin. Facial masks or scrubs lock in the ingredients in the skin creating a film that helps to hydrate, moisturize, exfoliate, or dry, the skin depending on the active ingredients in the mask, for instance, vitamin C for fine lines. Before applying a mask or scrub, your face should be free of oil residues, therefore masking should follow other steps in your skincare regimen such as cleansing, toning, and applying a facial essence. A skincare mask doesn't have to be a sheet mask, it can be a gel, clay, liquid, or powder-to-liquid face mask. It all depends on its purpose and if you are looking for a face mask for oily skin, dry skin, or sensitive skin.
