is it safe to use a body mask as a face mask? is there a major difference between the two?

Answer 1

A body mask has oils in it that may clog your pores and cause you to get pimples which is what ur trying to prevent in the first place.

Answer 2

I wouldn't. A body mask is gonna do things like drain toxins and stuff that you would want for the body. A face mask will either soften, tone or tighten the skin and draw out spots. The body is alot more resilient than the face and body products tend to have much stronger ingredients in them than face products and when these companies make their products they tailor it specifically to the area of the body they are selling for. Generally, if the products specify face or body, use it as it says on the tin.

Answer 3

there is a difference, but it isn't major. a body mask is meant for your body. on the other hand, the skin on your face is alot more sensitive than the skin on your body. so if you use a body mask on your face, you will get zits and maybe a little rash cuz it will be too strong for the skin on your face.

Answer 4

No, it is not safe to do that, the skin on your face is WAY more sensitive than the skin on your body. If any of these ingredients are used in the body mask, do not use it on your face:
*


(These are of greatest concern when they appear in the beginning of an ingredient list.)

* Ammonia
* Alcohol or SD alcohol followed by a number (Exceptions: Ingredients like cetyl alcohol or stearyl alcohol are standard, benign, waxlike cosmetic thickening agents and are completely nonirritating and safe to use; SD alcohols are not considered a problem when they are used in minute amounts, as is the case with some ingredient mixtures.)
* Arnica
* Balm mint
* Balsam
* Bentonite
* Benzalkonium chloride (if it is one of the main ingredients)
* Benzyl Alcohol (if it is one of the main ingredients)
* Bergamot
* Camphor

Answer 5

face masks are often made of more delicate products than body masks as the skin on your face is more delicate. i dont think you should use a body mask as a face mask as it could leave you with a really bad rash

Answer 6

I would be leary of using any body products on my face. I'm a stickler for that. Your facial skin is much more sensitive than your body skin, and tend to lose elasticity quicker, as well as be more sensitive to acne breakouts, etc.

Read the ingredient labels between the two and you will notice a difference, but mostly, I think products for the body skin may be too harsh for use on the face.

Answer 7

i dont think you should try that cause there is a differents in those two you should stick with it and not try it if its for you face then its for your face only dont try anything like that cause it can damage you skin and it can cause things just be careful on what you use and how you use it choose something that you know that might help you with your skin read what its for and why

Answer 8

Of course it is not save ! Your facial skin is much more sensitive then your body use the right product or make your own !

Answer 9

I have done, and my skin is good. I wouldn't worry about it. They usually put the face ones in smaller bottles to make more profit.

Answer 10

unless it says you can i wouldnt
some formulations may not be suitable for your face
