Face masks are a targeted treatment and should be used depending on your skin's current needs. As your skin needs are constantly changing, using face masks daily can be beneficial for your skin!

Every morning and night, cleanse your skin and observe its current condition to decide which type of face mask you should use. Hydrating masks can be applied in the morning to prep your skin for the day ahead while clarifying or exfoliating masks can be used at night.

There are days where your skin may be particularly dehydrated such as when you spend an extra-long day in an air-conditioned office, travel to a dry, winter climate or drink too much caffeine.

Regardless of the reason, your regular moisturiser may not be enough to replenish your skin's moisture. You will need an extra-hydrating face mask for a powerful boost of hydration so you can go back to having bouncy and healthy skin!
