Facial masking is an essential, yet often forgotten and misunderstood part of a home skincare regimen. Dating back centuries, facial masks were used for religious, cultural, and beautification reasons.

So why do we mask today? Which one is best for our skin? How often?

The purpose of any skincare mask is threefold: healthy skin maintenance between facial treatments, addressing your skincare concerns, and strengthening/balancing your skin barrier. 

Different masks can target specific skin care concerns. These concerns can range from acne breakouts to exfoliation, dehydration, or pigmentation among others. Your skin can be affected by the environment, sleep patterns, stress levels, product misuse or build-up, medical conditions, and lifestyle.  Whatever the concern, personal skincare issues are ever-changing.

This is where masking comes in.  While it focuses on treating your specific skin issue, it also brings your skin barrier back into balance. Why is this so important? Because our skin is like a coat of armor, protecting us from bacteria, water loss, extreme temperatures, and damaging sunlight.  So when it is compromised so is our overall health.

GINAMARIE has 3 Award-Winning treatment masks to choose from, two are available for home purchase and can be used weekly. First, the Hydrating Charcoal Mask contains activated charcoal to detoxify, along with avocado and apricot kernel oil for hydration. In addition, we have added antioxidants, such as green tea, and various herbs and humectants to further strengthen the skin. Second is our Clarifying Mint Mask, which packs a powerful punch with bentonite clay and salicylic acid. Both help to regulate oil and inflammation while gently exfoliating dead cells and increasing circulation.

Finally, our Pro Enzyme Toning Treatment. This intense facial treatment is available only in GINAMARIE-certified skin clinics or spas. This is a game-changer for your skin. Whether you are looking to correct and improve premature aging skin, heal acne, or maintain healthy skin, this treatment mask is your answer. You can expect immediate results as with any GINAMARIE product but with this one in particular you will achieve toned muscles, healthier skin tone, diminished pore size, deep, gentle exfoliation, and radiant, glowing skin. The combination of papaya enzymes and herbal blends will elevate your skin to a whole new level of healthy skin.

Like a short walk, a good read, or anything that brings you back to center, masking is a small self care act that has both immediate and long term results if done consistently.  They can improve your skin concerns, while also strengthening and balancing your skin barrier, our first line of defense.  Not to mention – masking allows you a little “me time”.  So sit back, relax, and enjoy multi-masking either in the privacy of your home or with your favorite esthetician!
