How Do I Zone with Facial Masks?

Have you ever seen the cute InstaGram photos with young, beautiful models wearing 2 or 3 different masks? Or maybe you headed over to Pinterest and a similar photo caught your eye? How do you know where to place the masks on which part of your face? 

It may not be an "InstaGram-able" photo, but here are the ins and outs of using more than one mask to achieve the results that you are looking for.

First, recognize that we all want anti-aging (to slow down our internal clock), but that might not be what you skin needs to get glowing skin, especially if you are under 25. Do you have a tendency for redness? Breakouts? Sun damage? All of these cues and where they fall on the skin are going to help you decide which masks are right for you.

Second, the T zone area (middle of forehead, nose and chin) is where are pores are naturally bigger. When mapping out your face to use different cream masks, you may consider using one for reducing pore size in this area.

Third, decide on the masks and apply. Don't be worry about neat and tidy lines. Follow the directions on the container. Do not let the masks sit on the skin longer than the recommended time. If it needs to be kept moist, consider apply and then taking a nice relaxing bath. If it says no steam, don't head to the shower. 

Finally, consider mixing masks that you love. For example, if you have 2 hydrating masks, you can mix them together and apply all at once. The combinations are endless and make the masking parties so much fun. Different feel, different scents combining... oooh la la. Experiment and see what your skin tells you.

Don't forget to

Breathe. Let Go. Relax.
