Get your best complexion ever when you make masking a daily habit. Here's how I've been doing it. By Dawn Chen - 19 Jul This revelation might have gotten me a few curious stares in the past, but daily masking has become an acceptable β and even expected β norm among skincare aficionados in recent years.
My masking journey initially started with a general obsession with Korean beauty back in This was a few years after the Hallyu wave hit our shores and everyone increasingly binge watched K-dramas , or at least knew someone who did. But beyond enjoying the storylines of these shows, I found myself drawn to the seemingly flawless complexions of the actors and actresses on screen.
I decided to give it a shot, but instead of sticking solely to sheet masks, I rotated among the different face masks in my beauty arsenal. In the beginning, I committed to using a face mask daily for a week out of curiosity. But then I saw the results, so I continued for a month, which turned into a year, and after that I just never stopped.
My skin looked healthier and had a natural glow to it. I was even getting compliments on my complexion, something which had never happened before this. Face masks are designed to deliver a concentrated amount of beneficial skincare ingredients to either hydrate, nourish, exfoliate, or deep cleanse your skin in a short amount of time.
The key to reaping the maximum benefits from doing so is to vary the type of mask you use daily. Instead, alternate clay masks with hydrating sheet masks , brightening wash-off masks, and so on, depending on what your complexion needs for that day. In a week, my typical masking schedule looks something like this:. Just as its name suggests, this deep cleansing mask contains a mix of bentonite and Amazonian white clay to draw out impurities and excess oil from your skin.
