10 Facial Masks You Can Use Every Day
Yes, you can – and should – use them every single day to achieve that dewy and bright glow that you oh so want
Do you envy the flawless and luminous complexions of your favourite K-stars? Their secret is the “one day, one pack” method that focuses on using one facial mask every day to achieve smooth and dewy skin.
But before you go on a mask-buying spree, here are some things you should know:
1. Not all masks can be used daily
Hydrating masks are your best bet for a daily facial mask as they give your skin a moisture boost. But you should limit clay masks and peeling masks that contain exfoliating acids like glycolic acid, to two to three times a week, depending on your skin type. And if you’re prone to acne,you might want to limit using a facial mask to once or twice a week only; using one every day could aggravate your skin and cause more breakouts.
2. Chill your facial masks
Joshua from K-pop group Seventeen keeps his favourite masks in the fridge – and you should too. With Singapore’s hot and humid weather, slapping a chilled mask on your skin at the end of a long day is such a refreshing treat.
3. You can create your own mask pack
Saturate cotton pads with toner and place them over your face, or on troubled areas like the cheeks and forehead, as a DIY mask. It’s an easy way to give your skin a quick dose of hydration.
