Face Masks

Having a daily skin care routine of cleansing, toning and moisturizing is important to promoting healthy skin that is clear and youthful. While basic daily care can go a long way toward making your skin appear attractive, it is not always enough to give you the flawless appearance for which you long. If you have skin imperfections, are prone to oiliness or frequently develop dry skin, your complexion may require additional care to truly look its best. Face masks are popular products that can be used in addition to a daily skin care regimen to give your skin extra benefits that can lead to big improvements in your appearance. Most skin care products are either washed away immediately after use or are rubbed into the skin tissue. Masks are different than other formulas in that they sit on the surface of the skin for a specified period of time, such as for 10 minutes or 20 minutes, and then are wiped, peeled or rinsed off of the complexion. Prolonged exposure to the beneficial ingredients in face masks gives the skin a large dose of nutrients, moisturizers and other beneficial complexes. With regular use, face masks have the potential to make a dramatic difference in the health of your complexion and can help you finally meet your skin care goals.

Walgreens has a wide selection of face masks available in the skin care department. Beauty products are always formulated with a specific skin care goal in mind, making it important that you carefully read the product descriptions while shopping. If you are concerned about wrinkles, lines or age spots, opt for a mask that is described as an anti-aging formula. Dry skin can be conditioned and softened with hydrating or moisturizing masks. Acne-prone, congested and oily skin is best pampered with a mask that is described as mattifying or clarifying or as being for "oil control." You can also find masks for improving skin radiance, firming loose skin and for many other skin care concerns.
