Facial Masks: What Is The Best Kind To Use Depending On Your Skin Type?

Sheet/tissue masks: for hydrating dry skin

Does your skin feel dehydrated and in need of an instant moisture boost? If so, a sheet or tissue mask could be an excellent option for you. For example, the Garnier Hydrabomb Pomegranate Hydrating Tissue Mask acts as a hydrating wrap that diffuses a serum packed full of nutrients and beneficial ingredients during the 15-minute application time. Inspired by the Korean beauty craze, it provides your skin with lasting hydration for quenched, revived and more youthful-looking skin.

Mattifying masks: for oily or combination skin with imperfections

Fed up with constantly shiny skin and breakouts? A mattifying mask such as Garnier Serum Face Mask Pure Charcoal reduces the look of shine draws out impurities, balance an uneven complexion and minimize the appearance of pores as it deeply cleanses and purifies them. Garnier Serum Face Mask Green Tea is another mask that freshens and mattifies your skin. A peel off mask (i.e. a liquid mask that pulls off like a strip) such as the Light Complete Multi-Action Whitening Peel-Off Mask is another highly effective option to lift impurities while brightening your skin.

Antioxidant masks: for brightening normal skin

Even if you have no particular skin concerns, you can still improve your complexion with a mask. Antioxidants are effective in reviving, rejuvenating and counteracting environmental damage. They can help brighten your complexion and visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines for more youthful-looking skin. A great example is the Fresh-Mix Tissue Masks range, containing vitamin C or hyaluronic acid. Once mixed, the mask forms a gel that fits the face to perfection for firmer, fresher looking skin. You can also use masks infused with lemon such as the Garnier Serum Face Mask Light Complete Lemon which brightens your skin and gives it a natural glow, and Light Complete Bright Up, which makes your skin 1 tone fairer - just in 15 minutes!

Masks to soothe sensitive skin

The fantastic thing about a product like the Fresh-Mix Tissue Mask with Hyaluronic Acid is that it comforts and soothes sensitive skin while reducing the feeling of tightness. Among other ingredients, its formula incorporates hyaluronic acid – which is naturally produced by the body – and when it is concentrated on the surface of your skin as part of an expertly blended formula, it can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and make skin feel soothed, smooth and supple. The Serum Face Mask Lavender is a tissue mask that also helps soothe tired skin, leaving it smoother and more relaxed. No matter your concern, you can find a facial mask designed to improve your complexion. Simply assess your skin type, choose one of the recommended face masks, and start enjoying its benefits.
