Facial Masks for Every Skin Type
Face masks are an essential part of any skincare routine. They deliver concentrated ingredients that target specific skin concerns, offering hydration, clarity, and radiance. At CXCosmetics, our collection of face masks includes options for all skin types, from hydrating and soothing masks to purifying and firming formulas.
Why Include Face Masks in Your Skincare Routine?
Face masks provide an intensive boost of active ingredients to your skin. Unlike daily moisturisers or serums, masks are left on for longer, allowing the skin to absorb nutrients more effectively. Whether your skin needs extra hydration, brightening, or oil control, incorporating a face mask a few times a week can help maintain balance and glow.
For skin that feels dry or tight, our skincare for dry skin collection pairs perfectly with hydrating masks that deliver moisture deep into the skin.
Choosing the Best Facial Masks for Your Skin Type
It’s important to choose a face mask that matches your skin’s unique needs:
For a firmer, more lifted appearance, consider pairing your mask routine with products from our skin firming cream and lifting products collection.
How to Use Face Masks for Maximum Results
- Cleanse: Start with a clean base to remove impurities.
- Apply the mask evenly: Use a brush or fingertips to apply a generous layer, avoiding the eye area.
- Leave on for the recommended time: Typically 10-20 minutes, depending on the formula.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water: Gently remove the mask without scrubbing.
- Follow with a toner and moisturiser to lock in benefits and hydrate your skin.
