It can be quite overwhelming deciding which facial mask is right for you when presented with a sea of choices. Those with dry skin should opt for ones that deeply moisturise the skin, whereas those with oily skin would find ones that pull out impurities more beneficial. If you suffer from red, irritated or inflamed skin, a soothing one is best. Here is a quick guide to help you understand the properties of some common ingredients:

Dry skin:
◉ Olive - moisturising
◉ Avocado - brightening
◉ Banana - hydrating

Oily skin:
◉ Seaweed - deep cleansing and toning
◉ Tomato - pore tightening 
◉ Clay- oil absorbing

Irritated skin:
◉ Honey - antiseptic and moisturising
◉ Aloe vera - softening
◉ Cucumber - soothing

Of course, these ingredients aren’t limited to help just one skin type, but are typically known to help one more than the other. Experiment to see what works for you. Always remember that you could be sensitive or allergic to an ingredient, so to be safe, check the ingredients. Opt for face masks that use organic fruits and oils, and are free from perfume. If you feel a burning sensation, rinse your face immediately and thoroughly - face masks should be calming and pleasant! 

Have a lovely pamper night
