How Often Can You Apply a Face Mask?

There are numerous masks available, depending on the skin problems of the face. In fact, this type of care meets specific needs: moisturizing, astringent, illuminating or even sebum regulating. The frequency of a mask depends on the type of skin and its condition:

• If you have oily skin or skin prone to blemishes, you can opt for a purifying mask just once a week to preserve yourself from dehydration.

• Dry skin, prone to tightness needs a moisturizing mask. Thus, one to two applications per week will allow to regain a moisturized and flexible skin.

• In the case of tired skin with a dull tone, it is recommended that you use a radiance mask at least twice a week to restore your skin's radiance.

• For mature skin showing a loss of tone, you can treat yourself with a tightening mask once or twice a week to restore volume and firmness to your facial skin.

As a general rule, a face mask is used twice a week at the most, or even only once. It depends on the ingredients the face mask contains. For example, clay masks have a tendency to tighten and dry out the skin. That's why once a week is more than enough. However, using a face mask too regularly risks attacking and irritating the face's very sensitive skin.
