Weekly masks

[lummerz]

why is it recommended that you have masks weekly?

why can't you do it 3-4 times a week?

I can never figure it out

I only have one bi-weekly during my facials. My skin doesn't seem to require it any more than that.

I use Microdermabrasion 2-3 times per week, and also use a mask to controll oil if I get really oily. The whole concept is that the skin cells on your face and body die every three days. A build up of dead surface cells can cause your makeup to change color. Even though you wash your face, that is not enough to remove all the dead cells That is why you should exfoliate at least twice a week. I always do it it on Sun & Wed. If I use the Micro or mask more than 2-3 times a week, my face gets sore. Just experiment and see what works for you

I honestly don't use a mask... I have one, but I generally use it twice a week (when I remember), and not on the same days I use my exfoliator.

I'm too lazy for masks, I only put a mask on when I get pimples

I use the SSC sulpher mask once a week and spot with it when I have a breakout.

I rarely use masks. I find microdermabrasion and peels do more for me than masks. I find many masks just made my skin feel good for a few hours and then it's all back to square one. But I can see cumulative results from microdermabrasion and peels.

well, everyone's skin is different, so I guess it's a trial and error kind of a thing to figure out what works best for you.

However, I personally would do it about 2x a week max, since I don't want to irritate my skin and cause more problems. (skin might be sensitive, and might actually do more harm than good, if you know what i mean)

I only do a mask once a week. I find that my face becomes really dry if I do it more than that.

 

[magosienne]

i do masks once or twice a week. my skin is sensitive so i can't do more than 2 ( i use greensand or kaolin masks depending on how much my skin is irritated).

the masks are made to wash your skin deeply, so it can't be used everyday. i guess it depends on how your skin is, but if you have a good cleanser and a gentle exfoliator, once a week should do it. also, you have to be careful on how your skin reacts, if the product is aggressive, 3 or 4 x a week might be too much for your skin.

I think that they suggest you once a week because your skin doesn't need more than that. Your daily care should be enough. Also, It depends on the kind of mask you are using.. I'm using nourishing mask every week and other kind of masks once a month. And that's well enough!

 

[frutips011]

I use biotherm's purifying balancing mask once a week, i tried using it more often but it really dried out my skin

 

[Willow30]

Once a week is a good starting point - but depending on your skin and the ingredients in the mask, more than once a week is okay too.

Examples:

If you have normal skin, you shouldn't need more than one clay mask a week, if you have oily skin, you may need it twice or three times

If your mask is simply honey, you can do this every night without issue because it is so gentle and soothing, pretty much regardless of skin type.

Hi,

Well said.

 

[Jennifer]

i use it whenever i feel like i need it. it changes every week.

 

[Guenevere]

I used to do a couple different masks, at least one a week. It's been a while since I've done one and I started doing them again about a month ago. I can't believe I stopped for so long, I've already noticed a difference since I've been using them again.

 

[TKelly]

It all does depend on what yuor skin can or can't handle. Everyones skin is different.

 

[LVA]

Depends on your own skin, some skin can handle more than 1 mask a week .. like moi

Agree.
I usually do it twice a week for regular treatment.
