3. Masque or Mask

We are going to discuss Masques (or Masks) as part of our Great Skincare Regime series of articles on their own. This is due to the fact that some masques may fall into the Preparatory stage and some can be discussed in the Nourishing and Repairing stage. Some masques are used to deep cleanse the skin whilst others will nourish and restore the skin.

It is very important with masques to ensure that they are used correctly, in terms of application, and are used on the correct areas of the face and at the correct frequency. They are an integral part of a Great Skincare Regime due to the type of ingredients they use and the amount of time they spend on the skin.

Below we have discussed each of the different Dermalogica Masques independently.

Dermalogica Cooling Masque

The Dermalogica Cooling Masque is part of the Clear Start range of products which is designed for teenagers and younger people with acne or breakouts. Unusually for Dermalogica it is designed to be used 5 times a week and should be applied to the face, left on for 7-10 minutes and then removed with water.

Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Recovery Masque

The Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Recovery Masque is part of the AGE Smart range and is designed to be used by those with drier and prematurely ageing skin. It should be used 1-2 times a week and can even be left on overnight if you don’t mind orange pillow cases.

Dermalogica Sebum Clearing Masque

The Dermalogica Sebum Clearing Masque is part of the MediBac Clearing range and is designed to be used by those with acne or breakout prone skin. It is a deep cleansing and purifying Masque that should be used 1-2 times a week.

Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Masque

The Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Masque is ideal for use by those with skin which is normal or normal to dry and should be used 1-2 times a week. It is a very popular masque that rehydrates and calms skin whilst helping to deal with fine lines.

Dermalogica Skin Refining Masque

The Dermalogica Skin Refining Masque is ideal for use by those with skin which is normal or normal to oily and should be used 1-2 times a week. It will help to remove any excess oils whilst refining and cleaning pores without drying your skin.

Masques are a critical element to a Great Skincare Regime and if you have the time to use one once or twice per week the benefits and results will be very much worth it.

Dermalogica facial masques

You hear people mention facial masks in relation to spa treatments that they may have had and you can see them in small packets in supermarkets and health stores but a lot of people don’t really know what they are, what’s in them or the benefits they have on your skin.

Some of the main benefits of facial masks are that they cleanse the skin really deeply and add some much needed moisture. Because masks are worn for at least ten to fifteen minutes it means the ingredients have time to work into the skin rather than being applied and washed straight off like with other products. Most facial masks will help moisturise your skin but some are specifically intended for this purpose and will therefore have special ingredients that will give your skin a huge moisture boost.

Dermalogica offers a number of different masques that aim to help your skin in a number of different ways. The Skin Hydrating Masque is oil free and restores the skin’s natural moisture levels but doesn’t make it oily. The formula also contains a number of vitamins which help to nourish and replenish the skin.

The Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Recovery Masque is intended for people with dry skin and is designed to calm and de-stress skin that really needs help. Another concoction of vitamins means that this product moisturises, firms, restores suppleness, calms and helps with the growth of new, healthy tissue.

Other masques in the range include the Dermalogica Sebum Clearing Masque, Dermalogica Skin Refining Masque and Dermalogica UltraCalming Relief Masque. Some are designed for dry skin, some for oily skin, some for sensitive skin and some for normal skin but there’s one thing that’s guaranteed, whatever skin type you have there’s a Dermalogica masque for you.
