Q1: What is a face mask used for?

A face mask is an additional skincare step. The purpose varies by formula, so a mud mask, hydrogel mask and peeling treatment may all have different uses.

Q2: How often should I use a face mask?

Follow the frequency set by the brand. Some masks are suitable for regular use, while exfoliating treatments may be more restrictive in their use.

Q3: Can I use a face mask every day?

Not every face mask is made for daily use. Check the product instructions, particularly when the formula contains exfoliating ingredients.

Q4: Should I cleanse before using a face mask?

Usually, yes. A clean face is generally the starting point for a wash-off mask, unless the product instructions say otherwise.

Q5: Can a pimple patch be used as a face mask?

No. Pimple patches are for individual blemishes, and should only be used on the area specified by the brand.

Q6: How long should I leave a face mask on?

Use the contact time given on the packaging. Leaving a mask on longer than recommended is not necessary.

Q7: Can a peeling solution be used like a face mask?

No. A peeling solution should be used according to its own directions, including the recommended contact time and frequency.

Q8: What should I use after a face mask?

Once the mask has been removed, continue with your usual skincare routine. A moisturiser can be used if it suits the product and your skin.

Q9: Can I use a face mask on sensitive skin?

Do not use it without checking the ingredient list and directions. If you are trying something new, a patch test can help you see how your skin reacts.
