Three signs, your face knows it is winter: your foundation is not going on smoothly, skin feels physically dehydrated, and daily moisturizer is not living up to its’ duties. If any of the previously mentioned symptoms of winter weather is causing dismay on your precious face, than a hydration mask may be the answer to your worries. In essence, a hydration mask provides instant comfort, radiance and a powerful boost of much needed nourishment.
To get the most out of your chosen hydration mask, choose one or two days during the week to treat yourself to a quick at home facial. First cleanse the skin like normal and follow with an exfoliant to boost circulation. Next, rinse the scrub and apply about a quarter size of the mask on a clean face; leave on for about ten minutes. This combination of a face scrub and mask will offer a fresh, glowing youthful skin that will look beautiful even before makeup application.
