There are different kinds of
masks (e.g. cactus, cucumber, etc.) for different purposes: deep-cleansing, by
penetrating the pores; healing acne scars or hyper-pigmentation; brightening,
for a gradual illumination of the skin tone. Some masks are designed to dry or
solidify on the face, almost like plaster; others just remain wet. The
perceived effects of a facial mask treatment include revitalizing, healing, or
refreshing; and, may yield temporary or long-term benefits (depending on
environmental, dietary, and other skincare factors).
Masks are removed by either
rinsing the face with water, wiping if off with a damp cloth, or peeling off of
the face by hand. Duration for wearing a mask varies with the type of mask, and
manufacturer's usage instructions. The time can range from a few minutes to
overnight. Those with sensitive skin are advised to first test out the mask on
a small portion of the skin, in order to check for any irritations.[citation

only be used once a month without the risk of burning the skin. 24k Gold masks
can only be done once every six months.
Masks
can be found anywhere from drugstores to department stores, and can vary in
consistency and form. Setting masks include: clay, which is a thicker
consistency, and will draw out impurities (and sometimes, natural oils, too)
from the pores;[citation needed] a cream, which stays damp to hydrate the skin;
sheet-style, in which a paper mask is dampened with liquid to tone and
moisturize the skin; and lastly, a hybrid/clay and cream form that includes
small beads for removing dead surface skin cells. Non-setting facial masks
include warm oil and paraffin wax masks. These different forms are made to suit
different skin types (e.g., oily or dry), and different skincare goals or needs
(e.g., moisturizing, cleansing, exfoliating). Clay and mud masks suit oily and
some "combination" skin types, while cream-based masks tend to suit
dry and sensitive skin types.
Egg oil has been used as a traditional
face mask where it acts as an emollient, moisturizer, anti-oxidant, penetration
enhancer, occlusive skin conditioner and anti-bacterial agent. Egg oil also
helps the texture of skin. As an occlusive agent, it protects against
dehydration. It can be applied for two hours and washed off with a gentle face
wash. For more details please contact us : http://www.evolvingbeauty.co.uk/category/face/
