Purifying peel off mask & Black Charcoal mask (no peel) great for facial
Dead, dull, flaky skin can sit on the skin surface and clog pores. In addition to regularly exfoliating the skin, applying a purifying face mask once a week can help dry skin to shed excess cells so that it feels softer and can better absorb hydrating skin care products.
5 Benefits of Applying Face Masks for Skin Care
Facial masks, clay masks, and mask sheets are some of my favorite skincare products. They’re easy to apply, fun to use, and are great at delivering results. My favorite thing about applying a good face mask is the feeling of tightened and toned skin after a single use.
What Do Face Masks Do?
Should everyone use a face mask? Absolutely. Both women and men can benefit significantly from using a face mask product. They’re not just for beauty: they’re the perfect treatment to help you with your skincare concerns.
A face mask is commonly used for:
- Hydrating and moisturizing the skin
- Removing excess oils
- Improving the appearance of your pores
- Pulling out impurities
- Helping reduce signs of aging
Another benefit to wearing a face mask is the feeling of being pampered like you’re at a spa from the comfort of your own home.
5 Reasons to Apply a Face Mask Right Now
Adding face masks to your skincare (and self-care) routine can do wonders. Here are the top benefits of using face masks regularly.
1. Skincare rituals are relaxing and therapeutic.
Face masks don’t just offer results that improve the overall appearance of your skin. They can also be quite therapeutic. When they’re infused with aromatic essential oils like mint and rosemary, a face mask can lift your spirit by stimulating your senses.
Using a face mask should be whenever you have 20 to 30 minutes set aside for “me time.” It could be doing any activity that relaxes you: watching your favorite Netflix show, scrolling through funny dog videos, or drawing a hot bath. You’ll be drawn into a wonderful sensory experience that will not only relax the mind and spirit but will also leave you with fabulous-looking skin.
2. Facial masks are helpful for deep cleansing.
Sure, cleansing each day helps clean your skin by removing dirt, oil, makeup, and impurities from its surface, but did you know that proper masking takes the cleansing process to a whole new level?
Only a good facial mask can help draw out impurities that hide beneath the epidermis’ top layers. Some people say their skin goes through a “detoxing” when using a mask because they notice the changes in the skin while this is happening.
Masks are incredible at providing this deeper cleansing process, which leads to an improvement in the appearance of pores that you can see and feel. Who doesn’t love that?
3. Clay masks help unclog pores.
Masking with a product that contains Bentonite clay or kaolin clay help to remove dirt and absorb excess oils. It’ll also help to remove the build-up of dead skin cells that accumulate on our skin. When you remove all the debris from the surface of your skin, it’ll help to unclog pores, too, giving you the appearance of smaller, tighter pores.
We all know that clogged pores are nothing but trouble. Yucky stuff gets trapped in your pores and gets pushed deep down into the pore, where bacteria can develop. Once that bacteria starts to grow, we’ll soon get a blemish, a flurry of breakouts, or even one giant pimple that will wreak havoc on our life for several days.
Regular facial masks help to keep your skin surface clean and your pores unclogged. This is an excellent reason to use your face mask right now.
4. Facial masks encourage glowing skin.
Masks, especially those with tingly mint in the formulation, can help stimulate blood circulation. The process of the mask drying on your skin and beginning to harden, along with removing the mask, causes an expansion in the blood vessels in your skin.
This ensures an overall improvement in skin tone. You’ll be left with softer-feeling and smoother-looking skin, and you’ll also notice a radiant glow and a more refreshed appearance. So, relax, feel the tingle, breathe in the minty aroma and wait for your skin transformation.
5. Face masks help your overall regimen.
Masking helps all of your other skincare products work more efficiently. If you want your day lotions, serums, and nighttime products to be absorbed by your skin quicker and deeper, then a face mask is necessary. By masking regularly, you can ensure that your toning, hydrating and protecting products will all perform better, providing you with the results you’re looking to achieve at a much faster pace.
How to Apply a Face Mask in 5 Simple Steps
Step 1: It doesn’t have to be messy.
If you’re going to apply a face mask while relaxing in the tub, you don’t have to worry about making a mess. You can cover your face, neck, and throat and relax. If you don’t have time for a bath, just take the time to pull back your hair so it’s not near your face.
Be sure to wear clothing that does not cover your neck area so that you don’t get it on your clothes. The messy part could be putting it on, but once it’s on, it will dry and will be easy to remove.
Step 2: Start with a freshly cleansed face.
Use your daily cleanser to remove all of the surface dirt, oils, and makeup before applying your mask. This will help ensure that you receive all of the benefits your face mask was designed to deliver.
Pro Tip: Before applying your face mask, dab a small amount of eye gel or eye cream around the eyes. This will help to protect this very delicate area from dehydration.
Step 3: Using damp hands, apply your mask directly onto your wet skin.
Remember, it’s called a face mask for a reason. You should look like you’re wearing a mask when you put it on. Never rub the mask directly into your skin.
It should be applied like frosting on a cupcake. Be sure to avoid the eye area, keep your nostrils clear and extend the mask from your face, down your neck and throat. Nothing worse than a young-looking face and an old wrinkly neck, right? I always treat my neck as an extension of my face.
Step 4: Just leave it on and wait.
You can use these 10 to 20 minutes to relax, style your hair, check your email—whatever you want. Just be conscientious of the time and follow the directions on the label for time of removal. The product benefits are tied to the directions for usage. Be sure to follow them for optimal benefits.
Step 5: It’s time to remove the mask.
Masks are designed to adhere to your skin. You don’t want to be too rough when removing it. Use plenty of water and a washcloth to wash away the mask gently. Pat—don’t rub your skin dry with a towel.
It doesn’t get any easier than that when it comes to using a mask.
Pro Tip: When your face mask has dried, and it’s time to come off, simply place a warm, wet washcloth over your face and hold it onto your skin for a few seconds. Repeat this a few times to help loosen up and dissolve the face mask from your skin. This tip will make the rinsing-off process much easier and gentler for your skin.
How Often Should You Use Face Masks?
Every healthy skin care regimen includes daily use and weekly use products. You can use a face mask once a week or up to three times a week. Depending on your skin type. A normal to dry skin should use it less, and a normal to oily can use it more.
Everyone should introduce masking into their skincare regimen if they haven’t done so already. For just a few (relaxing) minutes a day, your skin will undergo a noticeable transformation that you can see and feel. You will love the way your skin looks.

WHAT ARE ACTIVATED CHARCOAL FACE MASKS?
Face masks can brighten, tighten and purify the skin and the benefits that they deliver will be determined by their active ingredients.
A face mask made with activated Charcoal is deep-cleansing and well tolerated by most skin types.
Activated Charcoal is used in face masks because it is an incredibly porous natural ingredient that is known to draw out impurities and balance the skin’s oil production.
Typically, an activated Charcoal mask will be a skin care product that is applied to the face and left on to deliver a detoxifying effect.
An activated Charcoal face mask may feel slightly tight on the skin and, after 20 minutes of use, it should be removed with water.
3 SKIN BENEFITS OF ACTIVATED CHARCOAL FACE MASKS
1: DEEP-CLEANSING
The easiest way to understand the benefits of using activated Charcoal skin care is to think of the ingredient as having magnet-like properties.
Once applied to the skin, activated Charcoal attracts dirt and toxins and lures them away from the skin surface to deliver a deep-cleansing action.
2: PORE-PERFECTING
Damaged and enlarged pores can’t be shrunk but you can make them appear smaller!
Activated Charcoal does this by drawing ingrained impurities out of the pores and onto the skin surface where they can be cleansed away.
3: SKIN-BALANCING
Activated Charcoal is the best ingredient for oily and spot-prone skin and helps to regulate the amount of bacteria-attracting sebum that the skin produces.
By reducing excess sebum production and removing impurities, activated Charcoal helps to stop blocked pores - a common cause of spots.
IS ACTIVATED CHARCOAL ECO-FRIENDLY?
WHICH SKIN TYPES BENEFIT MOST FROM ACTIVATED CHARCOAL FACE MASKS?
The skin-balancing benefits of purifying activated Charcoal mean that the Purifying Face Maskis the perfect skin care product for those with oily skin or combination skin, as well as those affected by acne or large pores. However, those with dry skin can also benefit from using an activated Charcoal face mask.
WHY APPLY AN ACTIVATED FACE MASK TO COMBINATION SKIN?
Combination skin can be prone to an oily T-zone and applying a face mask to this area will help to balance the oil production in your skin so that the T-zone is less shiny and less prone to breakouts.
WHY APPLY AN ACTIVATED FACE MASK TO DRY SKIN?
Another skin type that can really benefit from applying our Purifying Face Mask is dry skin.
HOW TO USE AN ACTIVATED CHARCOAL MASK
Drawing deep-engrained impurities from the skin isn’t instantaneous and for optimum results, we recommend leaving the Purifying Face Mask on the skin for 15-20 minutes.
This time period allows heat from the skin and the surrounding atmosphere to dry the mask.
As it dries, it will pull the following impurities out of the pores and onto the skin surface:
- Dead skin cells
- Dirt
- Toxins
- Pollutants
- Sebum
- Sweat
After 20 minutes, the skin should be thoroughly cleansed to remove any excess mask product, and the impurities that the mask has drawn-out, from the skin.
Dead, dull, flaky skin can sit on the skin surface and clog pores. In addition to regularly exfoliating the skin, applying a purifying face mask once a week can help dry skin to shed excess cells so that it feels softer and can better absorb hydrating skin care products.
