Face Mask 101

Face masks are one of the best beauty inventions, ever! Not only do they bathe your skin in the most amazing ingredients, but they also feel like a little mini spa facial. (And so much cheaper, too.)

You can use a face mask once a week, or any time that your skin feels that it needs a little boost. Some people actually love to sheet mask every day – it’s actually one of the top secrets to achieving glass skin!

Face Mask Singapore Types

• Sheet masks. So many sheet masks, so little time! Face masks are soaked in the serum, and then trap the ingredients so your skin absorbs all the goodness. There are hundreds of different kinds, ranging for $1 budget buys to luxury face masks with premium ingredients. Find some of the most popular Korean and Japanese face masks, or try out a new brand!
• Sleeping masks. These are thicker, richer versions of moisturizers that are meant to be left overnight. Apply on top of your night cream or on its own.
• Eye masks. Goodbye, dark circles and puffy eyes! These special masks fit perfectly under the eye area. Wear them for 10 to 15 minutes to reveal brighter, younger looking eyes.
• Clay masks. This deep-cleansing face treatment draws out impurities while toning your skin. Wash off clay masks after 10 to 15 minutes, and then use a toner to remove any stubborn residue.
• Peeling masks. This face mask can be literally peeled off your face (pulling dry flakes or blackheads/whiteheads with it).

Kinds of Skin Treatments

• Spot treatments. Target problematic areas like acne or blemishes! Some spot treatments can help dry a fresh pimple overnight, or help fade post-inflammory hyperpigmention (PIH).
• Resurfacing treatments. This face often contains acids like AHAs and BHAs, retinol and other ingredients that break down dead skin cells to reveal new, radiant skin. Consider this the easy, instant and safe alternative to a clinical chemical peel.
• Essences, lotions and serums. What’s the difference between these skin treatments? Consistency. Essences and lotions tend to be watery and can be patted into the skin or sprayed like a face mist; serums are thicker and denser.
