Facial masks have been used since ancient times to soothe, nourish, and purify the skin. Depending on the type of mask, they can provide hydration, detoxification, and many other benefits. No matter which type of mask you choose, they should always be applied to freshly cleansed skin for maximum penetration. While some masks are appropriate for all types of skin, many work best on a specific skin type. So how do you know which type of mask to use? Here’s a list of the best masks for each skin type to take some of the guess work out of choosing the appropriate one for you!
