Mask

An indispensable ally in the weekly beauty ritual, the face mask is a classic that is still too little used and applied correctly.

It's a common misconception that a mask is only there to reduce the gaping of pores (which really depends on your skin type and the temperature at which you wash it), but it's actually a skincare product in its own right. Nourishing, purifying, firming and soothing, masks adapt to your skin and its needs, and come in a multitude of ranges using essential oils, mineral clay and other natural products.

In fact, you shouldn't hesitate to have several types of mask at home. One to suit your needs at any given moment. For example, after the holidays, opting for a course of rather astringent masks, with a touch of thermal spring water and oils to relax the skin a little, will be excellent for sorting out a complexion strained by excess.

Note that you should avoid using more than one mask a week (just as you should avoid using more than one scrub a week), as your skin is not designed to withstand so much stress. No matter when you start your ritual, it should be applied after washing your face (sometimes after exfoliating, depending on what you want to do), and of course on cleansed skin.

Always keep an eye on how your skin behaves. It may ask for a nourishing honey mask, or a firming gel. It should remain a moment of gentleness for your face, a moment of pleasant, delicate care. So treat yourself!
