How find the right mask for your skin?
Start asking yourself what your primary skin concerns are and go from there.
Do you have an oily, breakout-prone complexion? Look for clay or charcoal based product that absorb excess oils, address sebum production and keep pores from getting clogged. If you're on the opposite end of the skin type spectrum and suffer from dryness and sensitivity look for a mask that will give you a dose of soothing moisture. Anti-inflammatory ingredients like sulphur or kaolin will help calm the skin. If you're in need of brightening look for mask that include vitamin C (ascorbin acid) or licorice. If you're worried about fine lines or sign of aging try a retinol-spiked version.
Most mask will tell you what issues they target on packaging so go from there and experiment a little if you need found a favourite.
