MASK MASK BABY! The 5 Best Face Masks For Any Skin Issue
With Award season coming to an end, you’ve probably seen a multitude of celebrities walking down red carpet with their skin aglow and wonder if your skin could be transformed to look like theirs. The answer is, 'yes' and you don't have to spend Hollywood Spa prices to do it!
One of the best and fastest things you can do for your skin is to apply a facial mask.
Masks bring an instant benefit to your skin, restoring and soothing it, plus the all-natural one's are rich in 'good-for-you' ingredients, including clay, fruit acids, essential oils like peppermint oil and lavender and amazing plant-based oils like almond and coconut.
Facial masks are also versatile and can help you treat your particular skin type and/or ailment. If your skin is red or inflamed, the mask can calm and soothe. If you're dry or dehydrated, it can hydrate your skin. If your skin is oily and congested, it can help draw out impurities from the skin. Essentially, facial masks are the jack-of-all trades for any facial woe!
