Should You Include a Mask in Your Skin Care Routine?

Should you include a mask in your skin care routine? The answer is Yes!

Pictures and videos of people wearing face masks seem to be everywhere. Including a face mask in your daily self-care routine is starting to feel like the norm for people. Choosing the right skin care mask can make a big difference in the health and vitality of your skin, and a good face mask can truly boost the effects of your regular skincare routine.

Face masks are skincare products that have highly concentrated ingredients specifically formulated to address concerns related to your skin’s health and appearance. Skincare masks can be used to achieve a wide range of skin health goals. They can hydrate, exfoliate, address uneven skin tone (age spots) and texture, unclog pores, provide anti-aging benefits, and so much more. 

Specialized skincare masks should be applied after cleansing and toning skin but before moisturizing. You can think of it as a replacement for your serums and spot treatments once or twice a week. 

My Zen Skin Care masks, Reishi Collagen Mask, Ocean Magic Seaweed Mask, and Fountain of Youth Mask Kit.

Especially for your lips we have our Overnight Lip Mask that you can put on your bedside stand so your lips never miss a night! People say it helps with lines around the lips too! 

All of our mask products include concentrated levels of active ingredients that work best when they are thoroughly absorbed into the skin so we recommend applying our masks after cleansing when your skin is free from impurities and excess oils that may block pores and make it more difficult for the mask ingredients to be completely absorbed. 

Applying our masks is simple. 

Start by spreading the product evenly over your face, neck, and decollete. Allow the mask ingredients to be absorbed into the skin for five to ten minutes or as long as is recommended for your specific skincare mask. After the ingredients are absorbed, use a cool, damp cloth to gently remove the product from the skin. Pat dry and apply moisturizer as usual. The lip mask goes on your lips and doesn't get wiped off.
