Why You Should Use Eminence Organics Face Masks

A face mask, like a serum or moisturizer, improves the skin's general health by delivering highly concentrated actives, vitamins, and nutrients.

What's the difference? Face masks are occlusive, which means they provide a physical barrier that seals in beneficial ingredients and allows the skin to absorb them more effectively.  Eminence Organics face masks deliver fast-acting results: think of them as a big weekly dose of vitamins to support your skin even further.

The Raspberry Pore Refining Masque includes astringent ingredients like raspberries and blackberries which minimizes oil and tightens the appearance of pores, or try the Eight Greens Masque to address hormonal skin issues.

Clay masks address acne-related skin issues such excess oil and irritation with its absorbent, exfoliating, and astringent characteristics. Did you know that a clay mask can also be used as a spot treatment? Our favourite clay mask is the Acne Advanced Clarifying Masque to treat bumpy and congested skin.

Exfoliating masks are designed to remove dead skin cells and speed up the natural turnover of your skin.  It might also employ finely powdered particles to buff and polish your skin, like the maize flour in the Eminence Organics Rosehip & Maize Exfoliating Masque.

Warming masks contain active spices such as paprika and cinnamon, which warm the skin. They purposefully induce a tingling feeling, and the skin may turn bright red in some situations, lasting up to an hour before showing a radiant, healthy complexion. In the same way that exercising gives you more energy, revitalising your complexion and improving your blood flow gives your skin a terrific workout. Try the Eight Greens Phyto Masque (HOT) or Hungarian Herbal Mud Treatment.

How to Use an Eminence Organics Face Mask:

There a several ways to use an Eminence Organics face mask, but the most correct way is just to use one!  Here are our favourite ways to get your glow on:

Single Masking: After cleansing, toning and exfoliating, apply a think layer of mask with fingertips to cleansed skin, avoiding the eye area.  You may dilute with a bit of water for easier application. 

What's better than one facial mask? Two facial masks! Create double the fun by layering one mask on top of the other, mix two together or layer in sequence. 

Double Masking in Layers: The first type of double-masking involves applying one mask on top of the other in layers. Following cleansed, exfoliated and toned skin, layer one mask on top of the other.  Start with one mask by applying a small amount to your entire face followed by a second mask on top. After waiting 5–10 minutes for the masks to dry, scrub them off in a circular motion with a lukewarm face cloth and then rinse the remaining formula off. 

Double Masking in Sequence: Another unique way of double-masking is experiencing the products in sequence. Apply the first mask, wait, rinse, then apply the second mask. 

Double Masking in Combination: Simply mix two masks together for double the fun!
