MAKEUP TIPS
Whether you're looking to fill out fine lines, rehydrate parched skin or
detox congested pores, face masks are the secret weapon that takes your
results to a new level. So, if you're struggling to find a hero product
in your daily regime, then look no further.
Dry Skin
Look for something that will give nourishment and has
anti-aging benefits to help plump the skin. Masks rich in antioxidants
as well as nourishing oils are perfect. Also, before applying any mask
gently exfoliate the face so the mask's ingredients can better penetrate
the skin. For dry skin, apply a soft, hydrating mask to any dry areas
on your face concentrating on the cheeks, neck and décolletage.

Congested Skin
Clogged pores can make your skin tired, dull and prone to
blackheads. Use an antioxidant-rich mask with ingredients like clay for
clarifying and lavender for de-stressing. Remember to stay clear of
black, grainy masks that crack on the skin. Always use a clean, very
soft washcloth steeped in warm water to steam the pores open and wipe
the face clean. Gentle, repeated, upward strokes over the face and neck
will provide a mild exfoliation. Spread the mask over your cheeks and
T-zone (the most common trouble spots), or simply spot-treat your most
congested areas.

Acne Prone Skin
Acne-prone skin is sensitive in its own way, because it
overreacts to an unbalanced moisture level. Always opt for a gentle,
clay-based mask, because they are wonderful at absorbing excess oil and
refining the skin

Mature Skin
Mature skin needs moisture to help it retain a plumped
appearance, especially around fine lines. The delicate eye area is a
special concern, since crow's feet come into play. Make sure your mask
also has plenty of natural oils in it like omega-3s to help nourish and
plump your skin. And use an eye mask and a face mask in conjunction for
a full-face uplift!

Avene Soothing Sheet Mask is alcohol and fragrance-free so you can achieve a more vibrant, radiant complexion.
Oily Skin
Oily skin can sometimes be a symptom of not moisturizing the
skin enough. Just as your body needs good fat, your skin needs good oil.
Stripping oil from the skin makes it create more sebum, which will
leave you oilier. A mask rich in replenishing, lightweight oils like
jojoba and tea tree will help balance out oily skin.
