What to consider when choosing a mask
Rely on reviews on the Internet - the product must have been tested before you, and therefore you can expand the general idea, decide whether to purchase.
Most of the options considered in the article are of high cost - we only consider effective ones that demonstrate visible results. Very budget, declared as tightening, removing wrinkles, nourishing with hyaluronic acid - a waste of money. The effect is not encouraging, the best you can count on is a short-term hydration (although this is the task of the base cream).
Not always high cost speaks of amazing efficiency. And among the expensive products there are frankly failed launches. But among professional tools, as well as premium, luxury, it is easier to find a decent option than among very budget ones. We’ll talk separately about Korean bestsellers - Asian cosmetics are unique.
Important! Consider not age, but current problems. Moisturizing is necessary at any age - and in youth, when the skin is tight, supple, and in adulthood.
Well, if you can get a probe of the mask you are interested in - be sure to test it on a sensitive area (at the bend of the elbow, for example), only then purchase it. Products do not always give an instant effect, some demonstrate a cumulative effect, so you should not immediately blacklist a seemingly ineffective one. Other important nuances, tips, we will cover in the course of the description of the selected products, and there are plenty to choose from in our rating.

The best homemade masks
Do not make a common mistake - steaming your face with decoctions of herbs, with the addition of essential oils, peel of aromatic fruits, etc. This procedure can lead to serious allergic reactions.
If you still have a desire to make homemade, try the classic clay with the addition of base (not essential!) Oils. Clay should be cosmetic. All types of clay show approximately the same effect - they intensively mattify, lighten black spots a little, and even out their complexion. As a base oil, you can use peach, grape seed and others. On different types of clay, it behaves differently, but the cleaning effect, especially when using water, not oil, will be noted by each.

Multimasking
Multimasking involves applying different types of care products to different areas of the face. So, the T-zone often requires matting, removal of surface oxidized sebum (that is, removal of the “tops” of the black dots). The areas around the eyes require delicate moisturizing, “nourishing” the skin, smoothing wrinkles, getting rid of swelling, and blue. The area of cheeks, cheekbones, nasolabial folds also requires special care - products with anti-aging, tightening, tightening components, because these areas are also subject to gravitational and photoaging.
T zone
Let's start with the T-zone. It is worth using tools that contain coal, salicylic acid and other components that have a drying, deep cleansing effect that prevents the appearance of new black spots, pimples.
The trend that came to us from Asia has taken root. Korean brands represent masks not only for different parts of the face, but also for individual parts of the body.
Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask To Clear Pores
Composed of bamboo charcoal, white clay, lecithin, caring components. Not too “chemical”, but effective composition. Effectively cleans problem areas, demonstrates cumulative effect.
Price - from 800 r.
Eye area
The skin around the eyes is particularly susceptible to negative influences, both exogenous and endogenous. Common problems are swelling, a mesh of small wrinkles, noticeable small vessels. The area around the eyes needs not only a specialized daily care product (creams, gels), but also additional care. Do not choose by age or type - consider exactly the current needs around the eyes. For example, you need to tighten, “nourish”, smooth small wrinkles. Such products are most often produced in the form of patches.
Payot – Design Lift Patch Yeux
Perfectly smoothes fine wrinkles around the eyes. Price - from 1400 p.
The trend for multimasking has its drawbacks - you need to purchase more products. On the part of companies, it would be more honest to release products that include several masks at once, which are perfectly combined with each other, solve problems of different areas of the face.
Cheeks, cheekbones, chin
The task is to tighten, saturate with moisturizing components, lighten age spots, reduce the signs of photoaging, and obtain an easy lifting effect. There may be other problems in this area (clogged pores, for example), therefore, depending on the needs of these zones, you can use the appropriate care, not necessarily anti-aging, tightening. But we consider the most common situation when the skin of the cheekbones, cheeks needs a lifting effect, lightening pigmentation.
Sensai - Cellular Performance Hydrachange Mask
As an option - a mask from the Korean brand Sensai. Despite the high cost, products from Sensei are always pleased with the effectiveness, compliance of the stated promises with the effect that they see, feel.
If financial opportunities allow, be sure to try Sensai products, especially decorative cosmetics.
Price - 8000 p.
Multimasking can also have negative aspects: when using a large number of funds, the risk of developing an allergic reaction is higher. Moreover, it is not clear what exactly triggered the adverse events. The best option is to test separately, and only then, in the absence of allergies, use them as multimasking.
To see the maximum effect of the masks, use professional ones selected for specific problems. For example, if you need to adjust the dull complexion, treat inflammation, moisturize deeply, smooth out fine wrinkles.
For those interested in alginate products. Best Alginate Facial Masks - Ettang Peppermint, Dr. Jart “Mania of Purification” and Dr. Jart "Mania of Radiance." Alginate facial mask is based on alginate salt extracted from brown algae.
As a rule, masks that demonstrate excellent results are expensive, but cost is not an indicator of effectiveness. So, if you purchase “for pampering”, a beautiful photo on Instagram with a mask, then you can purchase something from GlamGlow. But you, most likely, will not be pleased with anything but attractive packaging and beautiful content with sparkles, shimmer, unusual dyes, etc., although the manufacturer offers GlamGlow products at high prices. Masks stand like some professional ones demonstrating a real result. However, the reviews on GlamGlow are mixed - from enthusiastic to extremely negative. Choose the right one, depending on your current needs, and, if possible, focus on professional ones, especially when it comes to problem skin.
