Do Face Masks really work?

Face masks are the “in thing” these days, with every beauty expert recommending them for anyone who wants to say goodbye to skin problems and maintain a soft and supple texture at the same time. But you must wonder – Do face masks really work? Rest assured, you aren’t alone, as a lot of people share your concern!

What is the truth?

Firstly, face masks aren’t instant solutions – results can take days, and sometimes weeks to appear, depending upon the skin type and issues that have to be tackled. When you apply a face mask, it has a soothing effect that makes you feel calm and at peace, while the ingredients are gradually absorbed by the skin. Once you rinse it off, the skin feels softer and refreshed.

Face masks available in the market combat various problems such as signs of ageing, dryness, oiliness, dullness, acne, breakouts, blackheads, whiteheads, clogged pores, and so on. It is advisable to use them twice a week (don’t overdo), for best results.

It is always better to use products with natural ingredients as they not only improve your skin health and overall texture, but guarantee there is no underlying damage to the skin (as is the case with beauty creams and face masks that contain toxic chemicals).

What about clay masks?

While shopping for beauty products, you should opt for facial clay masks when it comes to oily or breakout-prone skin. Clay has inherent properties that flush out impurities from within, allow pores to breathe, and reduce appearance of blackheads and whiteheads.

It helps to speed up the process of healing active breakouts, but don’t expect your pimple to magically vanish overnight or the size of your pores to become microscopic. Your problems won’t be fixed in a single pampering session – the face mask needs to be used regularly for skin related issues to go away.

While those with oily skin can safely use clay masks, it doesn’t mean that people with sensitive or dry skin have to steer away! There are plenty of face masks containing clay and other ingredients that soothe inflamed skin, heal rashes, and reduce redness, which are common in the case of sensitive skin. If you have dry skin, opt for a hydrating clay face mask that replenishes moisture and eliminates the “dry and flaky” appearance.

The answer to – do face masks really work – is a resounding “Yes”! Just make sure you stick to a beauty regimen about when to apply, how often you should do so, and the right way to wash off!
