What exactly is multi-masking?

Think of multi-masking as the art of using different face masks on various parts of your skin simultaneously to help combat a variety of skin concerns. Its like creating a tailored treatment for your skin addressing those different concerns at the same time.

So if your forehead is oily but your cheeks are dry and then you’re experiencing pesky pimples on your chin and nose, multi-masking could be the perfect remedy.

Is multi-masking right for you?

While multi-masking can be a game-changer for some, it might not be for everyone. Here are a few things to consider;

Identify your skin concerns

Take a closer look at your skin and pinpoint the specific areas that need attention. If you have multiple skin concerns, multi-masking will likely be a great option for you.

Choose the right mask for the right areas of your face

Face masks are designed to target specific areas of concern and therefore each face mask depending on that concern will be formulated with different key ingredients. You need to be sure you select masks that cater to your skin’s individual needs. Whether it’s hydration, exfoliation, oil or blemish control, there’s a mask out there for you, just choose wisely!

For areas of your face suffering from dry skin, you’ll best to use a hydrating mask. Oily T-zone, apply a purifying mask to that area. Certain areas of your skin looking dull and devitalised, applying a brightening mask will do wonders for your skin!

Patch test new masks first

Before slathering different masks all over your face, it’s crucial to do a patch test first. This will help you determine if your skin reacts well to the ingredients in each mask.

Don’t overdo it

While multi-masking can be both effective and fun! Don’t go overboard and over apply! Applying too many products at once can overwhelm your skin and lead to irritation. Its best to stick to 3 masks maximum at once.

What are the benefits of multi-masking?

By targeting different areas of your face with specific treatments, you can address multiple concerns simultaneously. It’s like giving your skin a tailored spa treatment, leaving you with a refreshed, rejuvenated, and glowing complexion all over.

How do you apply the masks?

Using a brush or your fingers, carefully and evenly apply each mask to the appropriate area of your face. Then sit back and relax for 10 minutes while the masks work their magic. Remove with lukewarm water.
