How To Choose Facial Mask
Choosing the right facial mask is the important first step. As a general guide, clay, mud or peel off mask are best for deep cleansing and perfect for oily skin. It helps to draw out impurities and its antibacterial agents can help to subdue hotspots. Corn or wheat starch and charcoal mask help to boost oil dry up and can be applied on T-zone or entire face.
Dry skin on the other hand benefits from the deep hydrating and moisturizing mask treatments. The cream and gel-based masks provide a barrier to help the skin hang on to its own natural moisture. Masks and serums are also perfect to treat temporary skin conditions such as dehydration or skin sensitivity caused by environmental factors.
Facial masks with soothing and anti-inflammatory ingredients like algae, azulene, or chamomile deliver immediate relief to sensitive skin. A gel-based mask will work better for sensitive oily skin while a cream base is more effective for dry skin.
Dull or normal skin usually needs a mask that helps to exfoliate dead skin cells due to stress, pollution and sun exposure. Facial mask can be applied once or twice a week depending on your needs and the severity of your facial problem.

How To Apply Facial Mask
In order to ensure your face benefits from the goodness of facial mask, you have to make sure that you know how to apply it correctly.
First of all, tie back your hair firmly. You may place a headband or other hair tie on your hair. This will prevent your hair from falling all over you face and getting dirty with the facial mask. You will also gain access to each and every part of your face.
If you want the face mask to be effective, make sure to cleanse your face as well as your neck thoroughly. Thereafter, rinse your face and neck with lukewarm water and let them dry completely. The face mask should be applied on clean and dry face as well as neck.
The best way to apply a facial mask is by making use of your fingers. This is because the warmth of your fingers will help spread the mask evenly. Squeeze out enough facial mask on your palm and use your fingers to apply it on your face.
Start the application of the face mask from the forehead, lightly rubbing it onto your skin. Go on working your way down over your skin, on the cheeks, nose and chin, all the way to your neck. Make sure to leave the skin over your eyes and your lips uncovered by the facial mask.
Leave the mask on your face for the required amount of time, as stated on the pack of the facial mask. In case of homemade mask, at least keep it till the time it sets fully. While the mask is on your face, do not make any facial expressions. Rather, lie on the bed and close your eyes, and relax.
After the mask has set or the required time period is over, rinse your face and neck with lukewarm water. Thereafter, use a mild cleanser to make sure that the entire facial mask is removed completely. Pat your face dry with a soft towel and apply moisturizer, hydrating cream or tonic.
