The struggle is real. Skin care has evolved into a multi-dimensional problem, much like our polluted environment – a constant juggling act between fixing a current issue, cleaning up after previous damage and preventing future mishaps. Amidst this chaos, skin care trends have you questioning the intent of cosmetic brands – how can you tell a real skin care solution from a gimmick?
This was my dilemma when the peel off masks trend came around. The satisfaction of lifting off a layer of dead skin and dirt and the immediate reward of fresh, tingling skin truly sounds appeeling, but I was skeptical.
* Reduces Dead SkinClean skin is healthy skin. Peel off masks adhere to the top layer of dead skin and the dirt in clogged pores. As you peel the mask off after it dries, it lifts off all the micro particles of dust and dirt, giving you radiant skin immediately!
* Treats Skin IssuesIf you don’t know a thing about antioxidants, just know this – antioxidants are life! They are your best chance against free radicals that are the major cause of acne, pigmentation, dark spots and uneven complexion.The usual lot of peel off masks, regardless of the brand, tend to be vitamin, plant-based or fruit extract-based that give your skin a boost of antioxidants. They come in, do a cleansweep of the skin damage already present in your skin and help shield from future damage too.
* Younger Skin
With visible reduction of pore size and evidently firmer skin, a post peel off will leave you looking years younger as your skin appears brighter and more taut. On regular usage, you will also notice reduced appearance of fine line and wrinkles, especially if your peel off masks have vitamin C, vitamin E or extracts with anti-inflammatory properties.
* No More Ugly ShinePeel off masks absorb excess oil from your skin while they unclog and purify your pores, giving you a natural matte and clarified complexion. Don’t be mistaken, this is nothing like your aggressive oil control creams and face washes that leave your skin feeling like cardboard. Peel off masks absorb excess oil without dehydrating your skin.
* Uproots Facial HairThis one’s a bonus. Peel off masks also stick to the fine facial hair on your skin and gently uproot them when you take the mask off. Without the peach fuzz adding a shade of dullness to your complexion, your skin will immediately look more polished and radiant.
