Make a natural face mask
The skin is the organ most exposed to toxic elements in the environment. It breathes and absorbs everything around it and touches it. Proper care of it is a fundamental part of our overall health .
The skin is not only responsible for protecting us from viruses and bacteria present in the outside world. It is also largely responsible for cleansing our body of all useless and unproductive elements and waste.
Natural face masks are a perfect tool for taking care of our skin from the outside in.
But first… What is a natural face mask?
A face mask is a layer of natural products applied to the entire face to cleanse, exfoliate, and remove dead skin cells . It's one of the best ways to hydrate the face: its active ingredients moisturize, nourish, and purify the deeper layers, such as the dermis or hypodermis.
Types of Facial Masks
Within the world of cosmetics, there are different types of facial masks with different benefits for the skin . One factor to consider when choosing the type of product to use is the type of skin we have.
-
Clay mask
This product typically takes 15 to 20 minutes to apply. In addition to clay, it often includes salts that stimulate facial blood circulation, promoting nutrient delivery. It cleanses the skin of toxins and impurities, exfoliates, absorbs oil, and provides revitalizing minerals. It is ideal for oily skin.
-
Peel-off mask
It used to be more popular, but it's no longer widely marketed. The traditional method consists of applying a gel to the face and, after a certain amount of time, removing it like a skin-like layer that has formed due to exposure to the air. The removal process can sometimes be somewhat painful, so it's not recommended for sensitive skin.
-
Veil mask
This is currently one of the most widely used. It consists of a cellulose mask soaked in a lotion containing active ingredients that are highly beneficial to the skin. After 15-20 minutes, it can be easily removed, and the remaining lotion can be used as a moisturizer. It helps minimize wrinkles, brightens the complexion, hydrates, provides nutrients, and removes impurities. It is perfect for all skin types, and its function varies depending on its ingredients.

Bubble mask
This mask has only recently entered the cosmetics market and is showing very interesting results. Once applied to the face, it has a mousse-like texture that forms many tiny bubbles. Its base ingredients are charcoal and clay, to which antioxidants, green tea, and nutrients are added. It gently stimulates the skin and is very easy to remove.
-
Exfoliating mask
It's used to exfoliate and deeply cleanse the skin, removing all dead cells and impurities. It's important to apply it in a circular motion and rinse it off gently with plenty of water. Some redness may remain on the face due to its exfoliating particles. It's not recommended for sensitive skin or rosacea sufferers.
When to wear a face mask?
A face mask requires time and attention: therefore, the first step is to dedicate a space in our day to this cleansing ritual .
