¿En qué se diferencian las mascarillas de láminas de las mascarillas en crema?
Las mascarillas son una forma estupenda de ampliar la rutina de cuidado de la piel. Además de la limpieza e hidratación diarias, un régimen periódico de mascarillas puede complementar tu rutina de cuidado de la piel. La mascarilla puede infundir humedad en tu piel. Ya sea una mascarilla de láminas, una mascarilla en crema o una mascarilla de arcilla, cuando está formulada con antioxidantes, puede ayudar a proteger y nutrir tu piel. Además, aportan un beneficio relajante: las mascarillas nos ayudan a reservar tiempo de nuestra agenda ajetreada para relajarnos durante unos minutos más, todo en nombre de una piel bonita. Veamos los tipos básicos de mascarillas que encontrarás en las estanterías:
Sheet Mask
Sheet masks are serum-soaked paper masks, typically made from natural fibers. Designed to fit your face, a sheet mask is often formulated to nourish your skin with moisturizing hyaluronic acid and antioxidants. To use, lay your sheet mask flat on your face using the eyes, nose and mouth cut-outs as a guide. The serum will help keep it gently in place on your skin. After about 15 minutes, simply remove and toss! Then, follow with a moisturizer to help seal in the benefits.
Cleanser Mask
Some masks don’t simply nourish your skin, they also act as cleansers to lift away dirt and impurities. Garnier SkinActive Clean+ Pore Purifying 2-in-1 Clay Cleanser/Mask can be used as a purifying cleanser or mask depending on the amount of time you leave the product on your skin. For a mask that helps deep clean your skin, wet hands and face and spread a thin layer of product on your face, then leave on for five minutes. For a daily cleanser, simply massage the cleanser into wet skin and rinse with warm (not hot!) water. Whether you use it as a mask or as a cleanser, the charcoal extracts in the formula act like a magnet to help draw impurities. Make sure to follow up with a moisturizer.
Cream Mask
Cream masks come in many forms: Kaolin masks, antioxidant masks, masks designed to brighten, hydrate, reduce the appearance of wrinkles or help fight blemishes. Choose the mask that best addresses your skin concern, then spread a thin layer on your cleansed face. Leave on for a few minutes and rinse off, following with a moisturizer.
Sleep Mask
Imagine a sleep mask as a thicker-formulated moisturizer, typically meant to deeply nourish your skin throughout the night. Sleep masks are especially useful in winter months or when skin is exposed to harsh, dry air, such as on an airplane. Garnier SkinActive Miracle Anti-Fatigue Sleeping Cream is formulated with hyaluronic acid to help hydrate the skin. Apply this cream nightly to clean skin — you can even use it after you’ve done a sheet, cleanser, or cream mask — and be sure to cleanse your face again in the morning.
