Facemasks are one of the best ways to unwind. Running a bath, lighting some candles and smearing on a detoxifying, calming face pack is the perfect way to shut out the rest of the world. So if you’re into pampering, you might want to know the best way of applying a facemask.

Here are some tips from Mind Body Green:

1. Apply masks after you shower.

It may seem like a good idea to apply a face mask before you shower so that you can just easily wash it off when you get into the tub (rather than making a mess around your sink.) But waiting until post-shower will benefit your skin so much more. The warm water from your shower will create steam, which will, in turn, open up your pores. This will soften the dirt already in there, making it easier for the gunk to leave your skin. It also makes your face more susceptible to all the good ingredients in a mask.

2. Use the right tools.

Think paint brushes are only for artists? In that case, it’s high time you start thinking about your face as a canvas. To keep your hands goop-free and avoid using kitchen tools during face mask experiments, it’s a good idea to buy a simple, soft bristle brush to keep in your medicine cabinet.

Not only will using a paintbrush to apply a mask guarantee that most of the product ends up on your face (and not on your palms/fingers/floor), it’ll also ensure even application over your face because it’s much easier to control how much product you pick up and lay down on your skin. Just remember to wash the brush after every use and make sure it’s dry before storing.

3. Wash the mask off with lukewarm water.

We’ve all been in that situation where we leave a mask on for a little bit too long and it dries into a hard, impossible-to-remove mass of dried clay. So first thing’s first: don’t leave a mask on too long. You run the risk of the active ingredients getting a little too active with your skin, and also put yourself in the position to have to hack away at your delicate face to remove the product.

When the time does come to wash it off, lukewarm water is key. Cold water won’t be effective at breaking down the product, but using water that’s too hot will dry out and aggravate your face. Remember that your pores aren’t capable of safely withstanding extreme temperatures, so opt for room temperature water when it comes to removing a mask. You can also use a gentle, clean cloth for some extra help if necessary.

4. Apply a toner afterwards.

Most people know how important it is to moisturize after using a mask, but adding toner to the mix is an equally important — but often overlooked — step. The right toner will help your skin lock in all the benefits of the mask, which in turn will keep your skin smoother, plumper and younger. Additionally, it’ll help whatever moisturizer you use after penetrate deeper.

One of our best selling facemasks is La Biosthetique Masque Clarte – Smooth Purifying Mask which is perfect for combatting blemishes: the gentle cleansing mask Masque Clarté features multiple properties – it clarifies and unblocks the pores, soothes irritations and intensively cares for the skin.

Specially developed for combination and problem skin that is prone to blemishes, Masque Clarté features an innovative formulation of three care components to smoothen, clarify and cleanse. The kaolin-based face mask helps the skin with skin problems such as blemishes, visible pores and a sallow complexion. Like a magnet, it attracts excess sebum and dirt particles and unblocks the pores – without irritating and dehydrating the skin.

Masque Clarté supplies the skin with conditioning jojoba and wheat germ oil, as well as calming chamomile flower oil, intensively invigorates it and makes it smoothly even. For fresh looking, clear skin.

Tip: You can dab Masque Clarté on to blemishes in the evening and leave on overnight.

Main ingredients:

  • Kaolin is a particularly fine, very light clay that mildly cleanses without attacking the skin’s natural protective layer.
  • Bisabolol, the oil of the chamomile flower, is anti-inflammatory, calms the skin and soothes irritations.
  • Jojoba oil conditions the skin making it soft and smooth and results in a fresh and healthy complexion.
