Time for deep cleanse masque

[Savvy_lover]

can masque like queen helene and other types of deep cleanse masque be used everyday ? coz all the tim ei see ppl saying it sould be used one or twice a week while i go to some beautican they say its actually better to use it 3 times a week. i mean its to deep cleanse anyways so why not everyday ??

i wouldnt use them every day, since that can really really dry your skin out.

id just go by when you need it.

so if i use good moisturizer it is okej to use them everyday? coz i just have this masque obssession i feel uncomfortable not using it everyday .. lik ei have nth else better to do !

Idk its up to you. If you are going to do it i would moisturize alot but i think it will over dry your skin in time.

I wouldn't do it every day! Maybe every other day.. at the very most! I think it would just be too drying on your skin! Yuck.

Masks are not designed for everyday use. 2 or 3 times a week at the maximum. If you do it everyday you will do more harm than good to your skin. That would defeat the whole purpose, right?

yeah..just get a really good cleanser, and a scrub..to use. dont use it everyday! you can use the scrub every few days and itll cut down the use for the masque too

thx all i wash my face evryday and i didnt go out my face was clear for a few days and then it starts again

it snot puss kinda pimples its pink or turning red a bit going up looks like clogged pores with sunken pores and swollen area around them !i put on BP cream and it made them all red .. i duno why i used st ives clay mask and wash it off with water and i didnt go out . i dunno if hks that humid and polluted even at home i got the bad air in my face and cause those swollen evil.

sounds like you have a lot of irritation going on,, id try for a natural line of products that wont be harsh, maybe you have sensitive skin. i used a st ives apricot scrub for about a month and it RUINED my skin, before that i was using natural products but heard so much about this that i used it and it dried me out, irritated me, everything else. went back to natural cleansers and have been fine ever since. since you are from hong kong i have no idea what kinds they have there but make sure they have no harsh ingredients!

let me also say that i have acne or i did, its pretty much gone now, i never used acne products..because they dry your skin out and can do worse for you. i always use regular stuff for sensitive skin. nothing that has acne 'fighters' (aka skin destroyers) in it.

I would recommend a drying lotion, like from Mario Badescu. It'll dry them up fast and wont cause irritaion. Niether of their products do. But like Kaville said, masks are a once in a while thing. If used everyday, they would totally strip the skin of essential nutrients since they deep cleanse.

I think scrubs and deep cleansers should be really limited to like 2x a week.

Nope, just make sure you dab it on the eruption only. Its a treatment for the problem area, not like a moisturizer (regardless of the name drying lotion ^^")

It kills me, hearing about people practically trying to scrub their acne off! I completely agree with you, MindySue, as gentle has ALWAYS been the best approach for my skin! Scrubbing and stripping your skin is illogical: this is an organ that you have to take CARE of. My acne is pretty much gone, thanks to my gentle skincare, exercise, and healthy diet. Scrubbing and stripping did nothing but aggravate my skin, giving me just about every bad skin condition you could name. Don't attack your skin, ladies! It only makes everything worse.
