Face masks
Introduction
If we want to really pamper our skin, we treat it to high-quality face masks on a regular basis. These are usually applied after cleansing the face, left on for a certain amount of time, and thus supply the skin with valuable minerals and vitamins. However, this only works if the face masks are tailored to the individual skin type.
Face masks for different skin types
Masks for normal and dry skin
Masks for normal and dry skin are primarily designed to moisturize and ensure a smooth, fresh complexion. The concentration of active ingredients in moisturizing masks is significantly higher than in day or night creams, for example. This optimally replenishes our skin’s water reserves.
Particularly suitable active ingredients are hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, glycerin, vitamin E, and collagen.
Masks for oily skin
Masks for oily skin often contain salicylic acid or clay. These active ingredients can reduce pore size and regulate sebum production.
Face masks for sensitive skin
There are also special face masks for people with sensitive skin. They strengthen the skin’s natural protective barrier and soothe the skin. Proven active ingredients include chamomile, calendula, and healing clay, which are considered particularly gentle and well-tolerated.
Masks for mature skin (anti-aging)
Masks for mature skin mainly contain anti-aging ingredients that minimize the formation of wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid plays a central role here. Other typical ingredients include vitamin C, natural plant extracts (e.g., ginseng, peach, apple, and barley), peptides, and allantoin, which repairs and regenerates the skin.
A good anti-aging face mask has a slight lifting effect, leaving the skin looking visibly rejuvenated.
How to use face masks
Face masks should ideally be used once a week. They serve as a supplement to, not a replacement for, your daily skincare routine. The recommended application time should not be shortened, as the mask needs time to saturate the skin with active ingredients.
Special masks for different areas of the skin
Lip masks – intensive care for sensitive lips
In addition to cleansing and nourishing face masks, lip masks are particularly useful during the cold season. The change between cold weather and dry heated air often leads to extreme dryness and painful cracks.
Lip masks contain high doses of active ingredients that, after a certain application time, ensure smooth, supple lips. Skin cracks can heal, and many lip masks also have a gentle plumping effect. It is important to use a special mask shape so that the active ingredients can be fully absorbed. High-quality nonwoven materials are increasingly being used for this purpose.
For optimal results, the lips should be gently exfoliated before application.
Eye masks – freshness for the sensitive eye area
Eye masks instantly give you an alert, lively look. They can plump up fine lines and crow’s feet and reduce puffiness and dark circles. As the skin around the eyes is particularly thin, it needs specially tailored care.
Eye masks are usually available in pad form and contain special lotions that visibly refresh the eye area.
Hand masks – intensive care for stressed hands
Hand masks are not facial masks, but they have a similar care effect. Hands are exposed to severe stress every day, such as cold, heat, frequent washing, and cleaning agents. Hand masks provide the skin and nails with intensive moisture and protect them from drying out.
Décolleté masks – targeted care for sensitive skin
The décolleté is a particularly sensitive area of skin and requires special care. Décolleté masks are therefore specially shaped to fit the contours perfectly. The so-called membrane effect further enhances the effect of the ingredients.
Foot masks – care and callus reduction
The feet are also among the most stressed parts of the body. Foot masks make stressed skin soft and smooth again and help to remove calluses. This ensures that the feet always look well-groomed and attractive, for example in open shoes.
Current trends in face masks
While body and face masks from Asia have been popular for a long time, aspects such as “Made in Germany” are now coming more into focus. Consumers attach great importance to the highest quality – from the raw material to the end product.
High-quality carrier and nonwoven materials are particularly important in this context. Ideally, these should be biodegradable, compostable, and of natural origin. Sustainability, environmental protection, and recyclability are also playing an increasingly important role. Today, innovative materials can even be produced in a climate-neutral way using renewable energies.
