When planning an at-home facial, there is nothing quite as indulgent as a luxury face mask. Choosing the right mask depends on your unique skincare needs and concerns. For example, The Intensive Revitalizing Mask is best suited for instantly plumping and reenergizing skin, while The Lifting And Firming Mask is best suited for refining and lifting the look of your face and neck.
How often should I use a face mask?
Pampering and luxurious, how often you should apply face masks may surprise you. A hydrating and revitalizing mask like The Intensive Revitalizing Mask can be used daily to energize and hydrate skin. To refine and lift the look of the face and neck, The Lifting and Firming Mask is suited for use every other day.
What is the best time to apply a face mask, and how long should I leave it on?
From an in-flight pick-me-up to a much-needed indulgence in your skincare regimen, when and how often to use a face mask depends on your skincare goals and on the face mask you choose. Always be sure to check your mask’s specific instructions for how frequently you can apply it. If you’re traveling and want a quick hydration boost, moisturizing sheet masks are a great option since you can typically apply them right after cleansing.
You may wonder if leaving a mask on for longer than the suggested time will deliver additional benefits. For example, can you keep a face mask on overnight? We recommend always following your mask’s unique instructions. The sweet spot for many of La Mer’s masks is 5-10 minutes, which allows the ingredients to deeply penetrate the skin’s surface.
What are chemical exfoliants and how should they be used?
Often grouped with masks because of their ability to support skin renewal, chemical exfoliants are known for creating a smooth texture and revealing radiant skin. These treatments refine skin with ingredients such as alpha hydroxy acid and beta hydroxy acid.
La Mer’s The Micro Peel is ideal for signs of aging. It gently refines skin while strengthening its barrier, transforming the look of pores and imperfections over time, visibly softening fine lines and wrinkles and evening skin tone and texture. This is best added to your nighttime routine after cleansing and before serum. La Mer’s The Resurfacing Treatment features a low pH formula that clarifies, energizes and balances, encouraging cell turnover for smooth, glowing skin. This liquid exfoliator can be used morning and night after cleansing to encourage continuous clarity. When using both of these products, we recommend using The Resurfacing Treatment in the morning and The Micro Peel in the evening.
