Using Face Masks

Many who are prone to acne are recommended to use facial masks or treatments; these promise to draw out all the bacteria and other dirt and elements that have built up on the face, to exfoliate the top layer of skin, and to moisturize at the same time.

There are some facial masks that can do all of these things but you need to be choosey and selective when trying them.  Here are some things to remember:

§         Avoid facial masks that contain acne fighting ingredients.  This is simply because keeping them on your face in such a high concentrate is probably just going to cause excessive dryness and irritation of the skin.

§         The areas around your cheek and next to your eyes are some of the most sensitive on your face; your facial mask should be left off of these areas and instead just used on forehead, nose and chin.

§         Always moisturize after any facial mask no matter what type you use; most will leave some dryness on your face no matter what type of moisturizing ingredients or properties they promise to have.
