The reality of incorporating masks into your facial routine

Me? No way… I don't have time to use face masks…

But…, are you really sure you don’t have time…? I’m going to surprise you if you keep reading.

We know perfectly well that the idea of applying a face mask evokes thoughts of:

“I’ll take the day off and do a face mask,” “I’ll have a slumber party with my friends and we’ll wear face masks,” or “I’ll take this weekend to relax and set up my own home beauty salon.”

Well… if you also save using a face mask for situations like these, it’s likely they aren't the product you use most often.

How much time does using face masks actually take?

Knowing that, unfortunately, not many of us can dedicate all the time we would like to our beauty rituals because of other daily activities, I want to tell you about the most adaptable and effective practices that you can apply right now.

In REALITY, the masks we offer from our HERBERA laboratory, as well as those from most other manufacturers, are effective with just 5–10 minutes of application, at least once a week.

Yes, you read that right, just 10 minutes, time you can spend while:

• Having your breakfast before leaving the house.
• Watering your plants.
• Answering your WhatsApp messages after work.
• Being calm with yourself and simply breathing (you deserve it and you know it).

What will using face masks bring to your facial routine?

The main properties that face masks provide are:

• They remove dead skin cells, air pollution particles, bacteria, and other external agents.
• They further improve the results of your facial routine by leaving your skin more receptive to absorbing any active ingredients applied afterward with your favorite serum and cream.
• Your facial care routine is more sustainable by using a vegan, organic, and 100% natural product, since they do not contain any preservatives.

How do I know if I really need to use face masks?

Of course, every skin has different needs, but if you have noticed any of these symptoms on your skin:

• Clogged pores, a sensation of a film of dust on the skin.
• Dull tone, lack of luminosity.
• Imbalance of the skin microbiome.
• Increase in hyperpigmentation and premature wrinkles.
• Extreme dryness and the appearance of hypersensitivity and irritation.
• Decrease in the formation of collagen and elastin, causing the skin to lose firmness and elasticity.

I encourage you to try them because the results can be surprising: READ REVIEWS

Which face mask can I use without wasting a lot of time?

Reading your comments and knowing the experience you share with us, we see that there is no single mask format for everyone. That is why, among our products, we have developed the range of three BOTANIK MASK powder masks (ANTIOX, DETOX, and SCRUB) and cleansing balm format masks (GOLDEN DUNE and BLACK MOON) that you can also use in your double cleansing.

1. BOTANIK MASK powder masks

At Cosmetics HERBERA you can choose between EXFOLIATING POWDER MASKS, our BOTANIK MASK line: They are formulated with different types of volcanic clays, arrowroot, oats, hibiscus flowers, oranges, roses, and as exfoliating particles, they contain pulverized almond and olive pits. They perform a gentle mechanical action.

They are very easy to apply. You just have to follow these 5 steps:

1. With the help of a spatula, extract a couple of spoonfuls of the powder mask into a bowl or the palm of your hand.
2. Add a few drops of water, yogurt, or REISHI MICELLAR CLEANSING if your skin is oily, or prepare the mixture with a facial oil like BIO SERUM ACTIVE FACIAL OIL if your skin is dry, in sufficient quantity to achieve the desired texture.
3. Massage with circular movements to remove dead cells and promote lymphatic drainage. Avoid contact with the eyes.
4. Let it dry for 5–10 minutes.
5. When finished, remove the product well with warm water and then apply a moisturizer for a better result.

After exfoliation, the skin is prepared to absorb all treatments. The most convenient thing is to apply a serum or facial moisturizer.

2. Cleansing masks and balms

Other products that you can also apply in the form of a mask are our CLEANSING BALMS:

BLACK MOON – Cleansing balm with activated charcoal and mask for oily skin that you can apply in the same way as the BOTANIK MASK, but it already comes in balm form, so it does not need to be dissolved with water or any other product. As a mask, let it act on the face for 5–10 minutes for greater penetration of its botanical active ingredients. As a mask, it is indicated for oily skin.

GOLDEN DUNE – Oily makeup remover balm and nourishing mask. To do this, apply a small amount to clean skin and let it act all night long. The next morning, remove with our organic cotton muslin cloths or with water. As a mask, it is indicated for normal and dry skin.

These two cleansing balms can be combined for a much more complete routine, double cleansing, about which you can learn more in this article.

Choose the format and the property most appropriate for your skin's needs. If you are not sure, I encourage you to try our DIAGNOSTIC TEST which will help you create the routine best recommended for your skin's characteristics in just a few minutes.

You no longer have an excuse to make your facial routine more effective and have your skin look radiant again.
