The Benefits of Masking
How would you like to achieve that flawless, radiant glow that always seem to grace the faces of models and celebrities of today’s magazines? Just by adding an extra 15 minutes once a week to your beauty regime, you can repair and revive your skin’s overall appearance dramatically.
Part of our secret to providing a beneficial facial here at our Orlando, Florida Plastic Surgery and Skincare Center is to incorporate a specialty mask with your treatment. Masking can provide great benefits for any skin type. If you are concerned about oil/acne control, hydration, fine lines & wrinkles or stressed, irritated skin – combining a weekly mask with your customized skin care regime can help clear up these concerns.
Look for a detoxifying, clay-based masks containing ingredients such as kaolin, sulfur, camphor, salicylic acid, tee tree oil, cucumber extract or aloe. These key ingredients can help to refine enlarged pores, prevent and heal blemishes and absorb excess oils and impurities from deep within the pores. Some masks, especially those containing sulfur, can be a great overnight blemish blaster as well. Simply apply the mask to the blemish as a spot treatment and leave it on overnight. In the morning, the redness and inflammation will have decreased and the blemish will have diminished significantly.
DEHYDRATION, FINE LINES & WRINKLES
A cream or gel based mask can increase the moisture levels of your skin and help to temporarily firm and tighten your wrinkles. Masks providing these benefits will be enriched with vitamins such as Vitamin A, C, E, pro-vitamin B5, peptides, grape seed extract or green tea extract to repair damaged skin. For hydrated skin, be sure to look for ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, amino acids, honey or squalane as well.
ROSACEA & SENSITIVE SKIN TYPES
Masks infused with licorice, comfrey, lavender or chamomile extracts work wonders for calming redness and diminishing sensitivity. Azulene is also a key component when looking to comfort and soothe stressed & irritated skin. This type of mask is usually available in a gel, cream or clay form.
In addition to these three common skin types, there are also many other masks that can address hyper-pigmentation, eye area concerns and even full body mud masks.
Apply your favorite mask, sit back and relax for 15 minutes - even if this is the only time you have to yourself! Why not enhance your home care regimen and give your skin an effortless pick me up? By doing this once a week, you’ll soon be on your way to achieving that healthy glow that we all desire!
