How to Use a Mask

Masks are a relaxing treatment that can help clean pores, absorb oils, and give the skin a radi­ant glow. There are dozens of masks in this and other chapters. These "do it yourself" bargain masks all require the same rules:

Wash your face. Masks work best when they’re applied to clean, dry skin.

Follow directions. Don’t keep a mask on longer than suggested. Keeping it on too briefly will be a waste of time and money.

Rinse your face thoroughly with warm water after removing your mask.
