Top 5 Benefits of Using Face Masks:

1. Refines skin pores: Face mask can help you to get clearer skin and more refined pores. It deep cleanses the pores and clears the pores of dead skin cells, metabolic wastes and the oily substances that can clog them.
2. Increases hydration: Face mask can also bring moisture and hydration to dry and dehydrated skin types. The water from the mask penetrates deep into the skin epidermis to soften the skin and enhance its elasticity. When the skin is hydrated and well moisturized, it becomes easy to apply proper makeup. Also it gives a more plump and youthful appearance to the skin.
3. Diminishes fine lines: Regular use of face masks can reduce the signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, and brown spots and so on. Also you will get to enjoy a softer and smoother skin texture.
4. Gives even skin tone: Face masks are also designed to diminish hyper-pigmentation and give you more even skin tone and texture. It also promotes the sweat gland secretion so as to increase the oxygen content of the skin.
5. Firmer skin: Loose skin can make your look older than your age. The problem of loose skin can be easily solved with regular use of face masks. There are certain types of face masks that help to enhance collagen production and fight off free radical damage which will gradually result in firmer, tighter, fresher looking skin.

Apart from the above mentioned skin benefits, applying a face mask also helps you to relax. You get the time to relax, while your face mask is working. This will help you to de-stress and that alone can make you look and feel better! Whether you use a cream or a sheet based face mask, you’ll feel great during the process.

What really is hyaluronic acid? Naturally produced in the human body, hyaluronic acid is a type of a sugar molecule that keeps our tissues cushioned and lubricated. It is found in skin, joints, and connective tissues.

Now, don’t be afraid of the word “acid” in its name: HA is a gentle hydrator for anyone’s skin. In fact, when it’s formulated for skincare, hyaluronic acid is like a sponge that finds up to 1,000 times its weight in water. HA is what gives your skin that plumpness!
