The facial mask – intensive care for beautiful skin

Whether as a highlight of your wellness evening at home or as an integral part of your beauty routine: face masks are ideal for pampering self-care moments and are very popular with beauty queens. A nourishing mask is a perfect addition to any routine, and there is a suitable product for every requirement. Their effects and active ingredient compositions are versatile. Masks can, for example, have a moisturizing, exfoliating or nourishing effect. In the following sections, we will tell you how to find the right face mask for your personal skin needs and benefit from the maximum effect.

face masks for every skin type

Our skin needs are as individual as we are. That's why care should always be tailored to personal requirements. In general, skin types can be divided into four categories. There are of course appropriate masks for each of these skin types.

• Normal skin: Since normal skin is relatively uncomplicated and undemanding, you shouldn't overdo it with the care. If you want to do something good for yourself, you can occasionally use moisturizing masks with ingredients such as aloe vera and hyaluronic acid. Regular use of peeling masks also supports a rosy and clear complexion.
• Dry skin: When the skin is longing for moisture and nourishing care ingredients, a rich cream mask is never a bad idea. Hyaluronic acid and high-quality oils provide dry skin with ideal nutrients and refreshing moisture.
• Oily & impure skin: Oily skin can use sebum-regulating ingredients such as clay or salicylic acid. A mask with a peeling effect improves blemishes and calluses on the skin.
• combination skin: Combination skin tends to have an oily T-zone and a rather dry eye and cheek area. That's why masks that balance the complexion are suitable here. So-called multi-masking can provide a noticeable improvement here. We'll tell you exactly how this beauty trend works below.
