face masks everyday?

Question

will using a clay based face mask everyday harm my skin? i have very oily skin, and just trying to dry it up more. if i use a face mask at night for 10 mins then put moisturiser on that'll be ok wont it? or will it damage my skin? thanks x

Answer 1

if u use a face mask everyday ur skin will react by thinking its been over dryed out and therefore produce more oils stick to usin it once a week and in the mean time use a gentle foaming wash for oily skin followed by a toner for oily skin and a matt mosturiser garnier pure A products are great and not too pricey either. but basically cleanse tone and moisturise every mornin and evenin exfoliate once or twice a week and use a mask once a week.

Answer 2

I don't know about your specific skin type, but I am not too sure that face masks are great for every day use. I once read in a natural care book that face masks should be used about once a week, maybe twice for normal skin. Sometimes it may take out so much oil from your skin that you begin to produce it faster, so that may not be such a great idea since you say your skin is oily as is.
If your main problem is removing oil, I have tried Clean & Clear oil absorbing sheets, and they are $5 for 50 sheets at CVS and other drugstores, and they remove oil from your skin very well, and you can use them on the go, and best of all, you can use them over makeup too, as long as you dab, none of it goes away!
About facemasks, maybe consult your doctor before making any drastic changes, because you don't want to harm your skin permanently.

Answer 3

i would recommend that you use a face mask about once or twice per week.
if you use really harsh astringent, or clay based products they will remove the excess oils from your skin, which in turn encourages it to produce more oil.
the best skin care line by far is Dermalogica. you can get it from many salons, and even on line.
i would advise you to have a facial first though, as the therapist could analyse your skin & prescribe the most suitable product. go to a salon that uses dermalogica & then follow the advice that the therapist gives you on caring for your skin. once you have started using it you will notice an amazing difference almost immediately & will never go back to any other product range.

p.s if you want to cut costs & cant afford a salon facial, try your local college. most beauty departments in colleges use dermalogice & the facials are normally much much cheaper than a salon.

Answer 4

No, because it blocks all the skins pores. use a face wash daily and maybe a face mask once or twice a week. A facemask is just like having foundation on, it blocks the pores, but if used correctly, can be very successful

Answer 5

Face mask's are not supposed to be used everyday but since you put a mosturizer on afterwards I don't see much harm.

Answer 6

I wouln't advise using it every day , once a week or maybe twice is more than enough. If I was you I'd go to one of the beauty counters such as clinique (which I use) and ask them what's best for your particular skin type and will advise you what and when to use it.

Answer 7

u should chop up lavender and rosemary, put water in a bowl with the plants, wait a while, strain it, mix the now mushy plant residue with moisturizer, and apply it all over your face. You'll have fragrant, baby soft, skin when u wipe it off gently, and rinse your face, and dry it well.

Answer 8

only 2-3 times a week ull just dry up ur face and create more oil on ur face and more blemishes

Answer 9
