How To Multi-Mask To Address Multiple Skin Concerns

Have a zit? Put on a kaolin and bentonite clay mask. Your skin has lost glow? Time for a skin rejuvenating, serum-soaked sheet mask. Need to gunk out blackheads from your t-zone? There are a ton of new categories of skincare masks popping up in the market. And while using a mask meant choosing one that only targeted a specific concern, today, the multi-masking movement has taken skincare to the next level. One mask can’t heal all and instead of taking a one-and-done approach, experts suggest that you try multi-masking. So, sit back, pull out all your masks, learn how to multi-mask and let that do its job while you sip a glass of wine.

Multi-Masking In A Nutshell

Essentially, multi-masking is using a bunch of masks to treat multiple skin concerns. Think of it as an all-in-one app that helps you shop for apparel, beauty products, jewellery and accessories at once. Or a cocktail that mixes all your favourite things about drinking.

Someone looking for the right multi-masking for combination skin can apply an acne mask on the spots and a hydrating mask in other areas. The skin on your face has different requirements and multi-masking is the perfect solution for it. 

Multi-Masking Rules

1. Use different masks for different areas of your face
2. Exfoliating masks help get rid of blackheads and whiteheads around the nose
3. Gentle clay masks with kaolin and bentonite deep cleanses pores
4. Fix your combination skin t-zone with the Mama Cica Oil Fix Exfoliating Gel Mask.
5. Get rid of excess oil and sebum by using the Bravocado Deep Cleansing Clay Mask.
6. Rejuvenate dull, tired, dehydrated skin with the Mon Cherry Brightening Pink Clay Mask.
7. Remember, multi-masking is best done in the evening

Your Go-To Multi-Masking Guide

1. Go with a cleansed face

You know, we know that clean skin is a great start to any and all skincare routines. Opt for a deep cleansing product like the luxuriously creamy, gentle oil-based Mon Cherry Dirt Dissolving Cleansing Balm. Even better, add a quick lathering, gel-based face wash like the Chialeader Shine Control Gel Face Wash to turn it into a double cleanse step. Another way to go about it is to take a warm shower that will help loosen any debris that are clogging pores.

2. Exfoliate, don’t forget

If you have dry, flaky skin and think that lathering on a mask immediately after cleansing is the way to go, you might be in for a surprise. Removing the dead skin cells actually helps finish up the cleansing routine effectively. And exfoliation also improves blood circulation. A quick, on-the-go option with the goodness of glycolic acid is the Mama Cica Instabright Peel Pads that gently exfoliates, unclogs pores, lightens spots and boosts skin radiance.

3. Tailor your treatment

Areas of your face demand special and focused attention. With multi-masking, the more masks you use, the better the skin! Instead of sticking to your everyday routine, assess your skin and figure out what it needs that day. If you've had a glammed up look all day long, you need a mask that clears out pores, zaps excess oil, purifies and soothes skin instantly. Also, if your period is inching near and you can feel a zit forming, you can opt for a mask that controls breakouts, lightens spots and prevents acne. For instance, apply the Mama Cica Oil Fix Exfoliating Gel Mask on your t-zone to unclog pores and prevent breakouts and apply the Bravocado Deep Cleansing Clay Mask on the rest of the face to deeply purify, hydrate skin and refine pores.

4. Layer as needed

Sit back, relax, and multi-mask; maybe with a glass of your favourite wine. But don’t forget to read each mask’s instructions and create a plan first. For instance, some masks need to stay on for 30 minutes or so. Apply those first and then the rest of the masks that only need 15 or 20 minutes. Go for skincare mask applicators like a synthetic bristle brush to cover those hard-to-reach areas like those around the nose.

5. Moisturization’s next

Now that you are masked out and sent your skincare routine selfies to your BFFS, make sure you rinse it off well. Give your face a massage while you do it to improve blood circulation. Then, finish with a light layer of moisturizer to seal in all the multi-masking benefits. Try the quick-absorbing, refreshing Mon Cherry Ultra Light Moisturizing Gel power-packed with 2% niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, which calms inflammation, reduces redness and prevents fine lines. Or opt for a serum like the Chialeader Zit Fix Serum that unclogs pores, fights pimples and blemishes.
