Professional face masks

The condition of the skin of the face can tell a lot of unpleasant details about its owner, because it is on it that regular sleep deprivation, the consequences of bad habits and malnutrition, prolonged sitting in front of the monitor and insufficient walks in the fresh air are imprinted. In addition, the skin of the face is most affected by climatic fluctuations and weather phenomena: in summer it is constantly scorched by the hot sun, and in winter it is blown by a cold wind and frost penetrates. That is why facial skin requires special, more thorough, salon care. But if there is no time for trips to the salon, professional masks for facial skin care will come to the rescue.

In order to find the perfect cosmetics for the face, you need to understand the complex and multifaceted system of classification of masks. The first thing you should pay attention to is the distribution of cosmetics by types and some features of the skin. According to this criterion, there are several main types of masks:

1. For dry skin;
2. For oily skin;
3. For normal skin;
4. For combination skin;
5. For problem skin;
6. To combat pigmentation or rosacea;
7. For allergy sufferers.

Next, you should pay attention to the main component of cosmetics.. According to this indicator, the masks are divided as follows:

1. Based on paraffin;
2. Based on white clay;
3. Based on algae;
4. Based on extracts or essential oils of plants;
5. Based on collagen or animal placenta.

Some masks can be sold ready-made, but there are also those that need to be made from branded blanks.

By action, these types of masks are distinguished:

1. To Support Healthy Skin: moisturizing, nourishing, cleansing, toning and refreshing.
2. Healing: cleansing and closing pores, fighting acne or rosacea, anti-inflammatory and soothing.
3. Anti-aging: for skin tightening, to combat pigmentation.
4. Relaxing, to restore the healthy functioning of the central nervous system: warming or Ayurvedic.

The last and most complex type of classification is the distribution according to the form of release. There is no consensus among cosmetologists about which type is better, but some masks are in greater demand than others. Consider them in order from the most popular to the least attractive professional cosmetologists:

1. The cream mask is in the greatest demand among cosmetologists. Such products are most often needed to maintain healthy skin or nourish it after cleansing procedures. Due to their delicate, light texture, they quite simply penetrate into the deep layers of the epidermis and nourish them from the inside.
2. Paste masks are also used by cosmetologists quite often. As a rule, they include minerals and white clay. Such cosmetics are ideal for cleansing the skin.
3. collagen sheets. This is a very interesting type of mask. It looks like a rather strong sheet of paper that has been moistened and spread over the face.This type of cosmetics, as a rule, is designed to combat wrinkles and sagging skin.
4. Gel masks are used a little less often, as they have a pronounced therapeutic effect. They relieve inflammation, close pores, degrease and whiten the skin of the face.
5. Not all cosmetologists like powder masks, because they need pre-treatment. Such masks must be mixed with water or other liquid components, and only after that they are ready for use.
6. Film masks are becoming less and less popular. This type of mask is applied to the skin in a thin layer and remains on it until completely dry. They are ideal for cleansing pores and fighting oily skin. However, such cosmetics have a number of contraindications and are a strong allergen.
7. Rubber or alginal masks are a very popular type of cosmetics today. They take the last place in the ranking solely because of their high cost.

Any high-quality cosmetic product should be sold with detailed instructions for its use, but not all recommendations can fit in a short instruction. In order to achieve maximum effect at home, you need to remember a few important secrets:

1. To achieve the greatest effect, masks should be applied only to well-prepared skin, therefore, before applying this type of cosmetics, it is necessary to thoroughly cleanse the skin with a peeling cream or scrub.
2. For the best absorption of the mask, it should be applied to well-steamed skin, for example, after a bath.
3. Do not apply masks before applying decorative cosmetics - this will reduce all efforts to zero result.
4. Do not use masks before going outside. Wind and the smallest grains of dust that fly in the air will clog newly opened pores and can cause infection.
5. The best time to apply such cosmetics is in the evening, before going to bed. During this period of the day, the skin will have the most time to not only absorb, but also absorb the benefits.

Every professional cosmetologist strives to select only the best, high-quality materials for their work, so we have chosen for you those products that have the most positive feedback from cosmetologists.
