What Is the Multi Masking Beauty Trend?
Multi masking involves applying multiple masks to different areas of the face to treat different skin conditions. This technique is based on a universal truth: not all areas of our face are equal. Therefore, treating areas individually increases the benefits of skin care. The eye area, for example, is finer and more sensitive. Because of this, it tends to lose moisture faster than the rest of the face. Cheeks tend to have larger pores, resulting in oily skin. The jaw area could also be the problem area in which the hormonally induced acne settles. Since a single mask cannot cover everything, multi-masking is the perfect way to treat all skin conditions.
This beauty trend is not only good for the skin. It’s also a great way to take care of your complexion without having to spend hours applying, removing and reapplying different products. In addition, it is the most convenient and effective way to have a professional facial treatment at home. Depending on the effect you want to achieve, one or the other mask is better. By using up to four different face masks at the same time, you can target specific problem areas. This is especially good for women with combination skin type who tend to experience conflicting conditions in different areas of their face.
Many big beauty companies are launching their own customizable face mask kits in response to this trend. However, the results are easily reproduced by simply using the different masks you have at hand and either applying one mask at a time, rinsing off in between, or by applying several different masks to different areas of the face at the same time.
The Advantages of the Trend
Every skin is different and reacts in different ways. You might feel the skin greasy one day, a little dry on the next – with Multi Masking you can create a customized solution to treat specific problems, according to your needs.
Multi Masking Is Convenient
Short on time? Multi- masking can produce very good results in record time. Whether you’re at home, at your desk, or in bed, you can multitask while multi-masking and get instant results.
Relax With the Beauty Trend
Stress can wreak havoc on our skin. So taking the time to relax and slow down and applying a mask can prove beneficial in a number of ways. Not to mention that you’ll feel like you’re in a spa in your own home.
Multi Masking: Choose the Right Mask
When choosing your mask, always look at the ingredients first and remember that when it comes to skincare, simplicity is the key. After cleansing, take a close look at your skin’s surface and start thinking about what you’re seeing: larger, more visible pores? Red, inflamed spots? Certain spots with hyperpigmentation? Depending on what you’re observing, you can opt for a clarifying mask, a soothing mask, or a hydrating mask! Below are more tips to help determine your skin condition and choose the best masks.
- Oily, acne-prone skin
Your skin is more prone to inflammation, prone to excessive oil production, and pores are visibly larger on your forehead, nose, chin, and cheeks. Applying a clarifying clay-based mask to these areas helps to remove dead skin cells, draw out impurities and unclog pores. The mineral-rich clay in clarifying mask formulas also promotes detoxification, absorbing and balancing excess oil production to reduce build-up and acne.
- Sensitive, damaged skin
Your skin tends to feel dry and sensitive or appear red and inflamed, with pore size varying across the face. Applying a regenerating face mask creates a protective shell and provides instant relief from inflammatory skin conditions. Soothing masks intensely nourish sensitive skin and deliver concentrated, soothing herbs directly to the skin to speed up the skin’s healing process.
- Dry, mature skin
Your skin is more likely to feel tight, dry and sensitive or show signs of aging such as fine lines and hyperpigmentation and less visible pores all over your face. Applying a nourishing face mask can provide an instant dose of skin-loving vitamins (like A and C) to boost collagen production and stimulate cell renewal for a more vibrant, youthful complexion. Powerful hydrating ingredients hydrate skin, help diminish fine lines and signs of aging for a natural, plump look.
Let’s summarize:
- Oily skin – clay mask
- Dryness – mask containing hyaluronic acid and B5
- Pigmentation and scarring – all with vitamin C
- Wrinkles and fine lines – mask with moisturizing properties and vitamin E
- Acne and blemishes – a clay mask will help, for scars choose a soothing anti-inflammatory and vitamin E mask.
- Flaky, blotchy skin – a light scrub with gentle active ingredients
Important tip: Always make sure you have washed your face and hands before use. You don’t want to transfer dirt to clean skin.
