Everything you need to know about face masks! The Lavender Rooms

Should I be using a mask?

Yes, they are a great alternative if you can’t get into your salon for your regular facial. These at home beauty enhancers can give your skin an instant boost, glow and immediate on-the-spot results!

How often should I use a mask?

Now you know why, let me tell you my top tips for healthy skin. For optimal results you should be using a face mask 1-3 times a week. With our busy lifestyles we know it’s not high on your to-do list, that’s why I love Decléor’s Prolagene Lift Flash Mask and their Sleeping Mask is perfect to suit all lifestyles.

How to get the best out of your mask?

What you will want to start with is clean dry-skin, for the best results we suggest using while soaking in the bath or while you’re showering. This helps the mask to work at its best while the pores are open, so it can penetrate deeper into your skin.

Exfoliate beforehand, I would do this by either using Decléor’s Pyhtopeel Face Exfolaitor or their brand new Green Mandarine Exfoliator. This will help the ingredients of the mask absorb into the skin more effectively once the dead layer of skin is removed.

Apply the mask for as long as instructed, then rinse with luke warm water and a flannel.

Apply your Tonifying Lotion to lock in the benefits of your mask. Use a dry cotton pad, blot skin with a tissue and then you can go on to use your favourite serum and moisturiser.

Which face mask should I use?

Finding a mask that best suits your skin type can be overwhelming with many mask products on the market… Many masks may seem to have overlapping benefits, so to simplify this for you we have broken down masking into four easy to understand categories.

Anti-Ageing
Hydrating & Plumping
Radiance
Soothing

 

If fine lines and wrinkles are worrying you, a smoothing, firming face mask will do just the trick. Many anti-ageing face masks included ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C for its antioxidant properties, for stimulating collagen and brightening the skin.

WHY NOT TRY:

Prolagene Lift Contouring Lift & Firm Mask – The perfect 1 minute flash mask for firmer, more radiant skin.

Orexcellence Energy Concentrate Youth Mask – The perfect mask to re-energise the skin for a fresh, youthful and luminous glow.

 

No matter how much moisturiser we lather on, skin sometimes still feels dry. That’s because we often need something that will penetrate our skin more deeply to effectively hydrate and restore your skin.

We also know hydration is key to fresh, younger looking skin and face masks are the perfect way to rejuvenate your skin giving it a natural, healthy looking glow.

For dry skin, enter: the hydrating face mask.

WHY NOT TRY:

Hydra Floral Ultra Moisturising & Plumping Mask – An intensive moisturising mask to plump, soften and smooth all skin types.

 

Do you suffer from dull, uneven and tired looking skin? Well an instant radiance boost is what you need. Radiance face masks deeply cleanse, exfoliate and brighten dull, lifeless skin leaving skin glowing with natural radiance.

WHY NOT TRY:

Life Radiance Flash Radiance Mask – A powerful, fast-acting mask to restore radiance to all skin types

 

If you have red and irritated skin, a face mask can be the perfect way to soothe, even the skin tone and stabilise.

WHY NOT TRY:

Organic Harmonie Calm Soothing Comfort 2 in 1 Cream & Mask – an 100% natural 2 in 1 moisturiser and mask for sensitive skin.

 

The most important thing is to listen to what your skin is telling you and adapt your face mask routine accordingly.

Now is the perfect time to get into the best skin-care routine you’ve ever had!

Your face will thank you 😊

Keep safe and stay in
