a guide to masking

with so many masks available in the market now, it can be hard choosing the best one for you. this helpful guide we’ve crafted ourselves here at beautybar should help you simplify the process…

for oily, congested and/or acne prone skin:

• fresh umbrian clay purifying mask:
  this clay mask is best suited for normal, oily and acne prone skin types as it helps mattify your complexion and reduce the appearance of pores but without drying the skin. umbrian clay helps balance, purify, and clarify the skin whilst sandalwood oil has astringent properties that help calm skin. chamomile flower and lavender water help soothe the skin, making this mask non-drying to ensure this product leaves you with a healthy glow. to use this purifying mask simply apply a layer on clean dry skin for 3 to 5 minutes and then rinse twice a week. This product is available in store only, so on your next visit make sure to snap it up!
