Marvellous masks

by Josephine Fairley
continued from page 1
Oily skin responds well to clay- or mud-based masks. The clay hardens in 10-20 minutes, soaking up impurities and leaving skin feeling soft and smooth. When the mask is removed, surface dirt, oil and dead skin cells adhere to the clay and are rinsed away with the mask. If you have dry skin, steer clear of these types of masks as they'll be too harsh on your face.

Proceed with caution if you have sensitive skin. If it flares up easily, a mask may aggravate it, so try applying a small amount of the mask on an area behind your ear and watch for any adverse reactions during the next day. If you skin stays clear, give the mask a go, but remove it immediately if you experience any burning or stinging. There are masks that are specifically designed to soothe troubled skin. Other masks, meanwhile, are versatile enough to be used on all skin types.
