What is a peeling mask – and what does it do?

Peeling masks are big news at the moment. As the ‘in’ product, you might need to do some catching up – what are they, what do they do, why should you use one? Stylecraze offer their reasons…

1. Banishes Dead Skin And Dirt Like A Boss

Clean skin is healthy skin. Peel off masks adhere to the top layer of dead skin and the dirt in clogged pores. As you peel the mask off after it dries, it lifts off all the micro particles of dust and dirt, giving you radiant skin immediately!

2. Fixes All Skin Issues With Antioxidants.

If you don’t know a thing about antioxidants, just know this – antioxidants are life! They are your best chance against free radicals that are the major cause of acne, pigmentation, dark spots and uneven complexion.

The usual lot of peel off masks, regardless of the brand, tend to be vitamin, plant-based or fruit extract-based that give your skin a boost of antioxidants. They come in, do a cleansweep of the skin damage already present in your skin and help shield from future damage too.

3. Takes The Years Off Your Face

With visible reduction of pore size and evidently firmer skin, a post peel off will leave you looking years younger as your skin appears brighter and more taut. On regular usage, you will also notice reduced appearance of fine line and wrinkles, especially if your peel off masks have vitamin C, vitamin E or extracts with anti-inflammatory properties.

4. Gets Rid Of That Ugly Shine

Peel off masks absorb excess oil from your skin while they unclog and purify your pores, giving you a natural matte and clarified complexion. Don’t be mistaken, this is nothing like your aggressive oil control creams and face washes that leave your skin feeling like cardboard. Peel off masks absorb excess oil without dehydrating your skin.

5. Gently Uproots Fine Facial Hair

This one’s a bonus. Peel off masks also stick to the fine facial hair on your skin and gently uproot them when you take the mask off. Without the peach fuzz adding a shade of dullness to your complexion, your skin will immediately look more polished and radiant.

6. Easy Hydration And Nourishment

You may not know this, but your moisturizer may not be absorbed into your skin completely if you apply it hurriedly or unevenly. Also, when you skip moisturizing or live in a humid or dehydrating environment, your skin is stripped of moisture and may age faster.

Peel off masks can make up for all that loss of hydration and nutrition in just a few uses. Making peel off masks a weekly regimen will help your skin heal even if you neglected it for the longest time.

7. Calms Your Skin – Anti Inflammatory Properties

Peel off masks have a cool and soothing effect on your skin, which makes it your go-to option for a quick pampering or de-stressing session. The anti-inflammatory properties in gel masks help remove dirt, dead skin, whiteheads and blackheads easily while reducing skin inflammation from micro-acid particles in the air or even angry breakouts or rashes.

Dr. Spiller Biomimetic Skin Care Enzyme Peeling Mask is an incredible product which contains the Plant Phytoenzymes which are activated by water and have a dissolving effect on the horny surface of the skin. The complexion appears smoother, younger and brighter.

Skin type: For all skin types except severe acne. Suitable for sensitive skin easily irritated by physical exfoliation. Do not use in or around the eyes.

Benefits:

Used in professional facial treatment as enzymatic mask to remove dead skin cells, impurities and excess oils. Ideal for sensitive skin types to avoid mechanical friction.

How to use:

Mix the powder mask with 1½ times the amount of water (water should be around 40°C) and apply onto the face. Leave on for 10 – 15 minutes. It is recommended covering the mask with a warm, moist cloth so the enzymatic action can fully develop. May also activate the enzymatic action while under steam. Remove the mask with a moist cloth.

Make sure to mix only the quantity needed for one treatment, since the rest cannot be used for further treatments due to the missing enzyme activity.
