FAQ: Everything You Need to Know About Face Masks
Why Use a Face Mask?
A face mask provides targeted, occasional care for the skin—for example, increased comfort, nourishment, radiance, or a purifying effect, depending on the product chosen.
How often should you use a face mask?
It depends on the product. Once or twice a week may be suitable for many masks, while some gentle treatments can be used more often and certain purifying products less frequently.
Are sheet masks more effective than cream masks?
Not necessarily. The cloth base mainly helps keep the treatment in contact with the skin. Effectiveness depends primarily on the active ingredients used, their concentration, and the skin’s tolerance.
