To hydrate the skin, it is not enough to apply cream every day, there are other cleansing and hydration rituals that provide extra nutrition to the face. Just as it is necessary to exfoliate the skin once a week to remove dirt and dead cells, it is also recommended to use a moisturizing facial mask adapted to your skin type, as it helps to recover the necessary water level and keep acne or the appearance of the first wrinkles at bay.
There are face masks for every skin type, you just need to know when and how to use them. In this article, we'll explain everything you need to know about using a moisturizing face mask.
When to apply a moisturizing face mask?
Unlike facial creams, masks should be applied once a week or every two weeks. They should be left on for at least ten or fifteen minutes. In the case of cleansing masks for oily skin, it is recommended to leave them on for even half an hour to absorb all the fat that the face expels and thus avoid the appearance of blackheads and pimples. It is also an excellent way to tighten pores to regain a refined skin texture.
The ideal is to apply a facial mask in the evening, when the skin is prepared for rest and better receives all its properties. After a good cleansing and before using the night cream, you will apply the treatment mask with a specific brush or with your fingers. Now that you know when to apply a facial mask, we will explain step by step how to perform this treatment at home so that it is really effective.
How to use a hydrating face mask?
Skin preparation
The first step in any beauty routine is cleansing . With a very gentle cleanser and makeup remover, you should remove all dirt from the face and, if necessary, exfoliate the skin with a scrub so that the mask is better absorbed.

Application of the mask
Once your skin is ready, without delay, you will apply the mask appropriate to your skin type. It must be done carefully, avoiding the eye and lip area. Apply with your fingertips or with a special brush for face masks. When your face is covered except for the areas to avoid mentioned, you must leave it on for at least ten minutes.
To remove it, use warm water and make circular movements. The skin will be extremely sensitive at this stage, after exfoliation and use of the mask, so it is good to use a very soft towel, which does not scratch the skin or irritate it. To dry your skin with the towel, it is best to pat gently.
Once you remove the mask, you can moisturize the skin with your usual cream. You should choose a nourishing and dense cream so that the skin is well hydrated.
Which face mask should you choose?
The mask to apply depends on the type of skin. There are masks for dry skin, which include nourishing oils such as olive, shea or avocado that prevent dryness and flaking. But if your skin is combination or oily, it is better to use masks with exfoliating granules that absorb fat and keep the face matte and shine-free.
For mature skin, it is best to use anti-aging masks, because in addition to moisturizing the skin, they help prevent the appearance of wrinkles and slow down aging.
