Important Reasons to Use a Facial Mask

Dear Janice,

I wash my face regularly, do I really need to use a facial mask?

Regular cleansing will remove surface dirt and grime, but only a facial mask will actually draw out impurities from beneath the top layers of the epidermis. Masking helps exfoliate dead skin cells and unclog pores so your toning, hydrating and protecting products work more effectively. Masks also help stimulate blood circulation and leave your skin feeling smoother and softer.

What about those pore strips? Drugstore pore strips rely on an adhesive to cling to embedded impurities. The problem is, when you remove the strip from you face, you also remove the layer of skin beneath the strip and create an overall uneven skin surface. But, unlike harsh pore strips which tear and rip at the skin's surface, Noevir masks are a gentle form of exfoliation that helps create a smooth, even surface and restore your skin's natural radiance.

How often should I use a mask? Apply your favorite Noevir mask after cleansing, but before toning. Ultimate Hydrating Peel-Off Masque should be used 1-2 times per week if you have dry skin, 2-3 times per week if your skin is normal. Clay Masque is most effective used 2-3 times per week on combination skin, 3-5 times per week on oily skin. Quick Recovery Mask can be used 2-3 times a week in place of the final cleansing step of your regular skincare regimen. Noevir's Circu Night DN-Aqua is used after the last step of your p.m. skincare regimen.

TIP: Before applying any mask, dab a small amount of Noevir Eye Treatment Gel around eyes to protect this delicate area from dehydration.
