Moisturizing, exfoliating, purifying or even nourishing, it is sometimes difficult to find the face mask adapted to your skin type and problem. And for good reason, the needs of your skin evolve very regularly, with each hormonal upheaval or each change of season. Here are the two categories of masks recommended by our facialists:
The hydrating mask, the ally of dry and dehydrated skin
Applied weekly, the hydrating mask helps restore and maintain skin hydration by retaining water in the upper layers of the epidermis. Why is this important? Well-hydrated skin is supple, soft and less prone to fine lines and wrinkles. The hydrating mask will help regenerate skin cells, which helps promote healing and repair of damaged tissues. It also helps restore the skin's pH balance, which is important for maintaining a healthy skin barrier and preventing skin problems such as dryness, acne and irritation.
Our recommendation: The Rehydrating Mask with aloe vera and hyaluronic acid of two molecular weights.
AHA peeling, a gentle exfoliant for the skin
An excellent alternative to grain scrubs, which are often too abrasive for the skin, the exfoliating facial peel with fruit enzymes better known as alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA) has several benefits for the skin. AHAs are natural acids derived from various fruit and plant sources that help remove dead skin cells and stimulate cell turnover. What is the result on the skin? Exfoliating with fruit enzymes (AHA) helps remove dead skin cells, revealing smoother, more even skin underneath. This can help fade age spots, acne scars, and dark spots. In addition, AHAs stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, proteins that keep the skin firm and elastic. By increasing the production of these proteins, AHAs can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Our recommendation: The Anti-grey Mask enriched with lactic acid, glycolic acid and fruit enzymes.
The 2-in-1 mask, nourishing and exfoliating, the ally of malnourished skin
Rich in lipids, the nourishing mask generally has a particularly pleasant enveloping texture. We recommend that you choose a mask containing vegetable oils to nourish the skin and restore its suppleness. Why vegetable oils? They are generally gentle and well tolerated by sensitive skin. Furthermore, oils help to strengthen the skin barrier by replenishing the skin's natural lipids. A healthy skin barrier is essential to protect the skin from external aggressions and prevent moisture loss.
Our recommendation: The New Skin Mask which gently nourishes and exfoliates the skin, its gel-in-oil texture is ideal for self-massage.
How to increase the effects of your mask?
During application or just after, we recommend that you take advantage of this moment to massage your skin for a few minutes with your fingertips or using a massage accessory such as Gua Sha for example. Why should you massage your face? The massage stimulates blood microcirculation, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells. This can help improve skin tone, promote cell regeneration and make skin look brighter and more radiant. Appropriate actions also help stimulate the lymphatic system, responsible for eliminating toxins and waste from the skin.
