Flawless skin is a big obsession for everyone in this era. And a good skincare routine can play an important role in achieving this dream. Face packs when incorporated in your regimen, can effectively enhance your appearance and give you glowy skin. But the question “How to choose a face pack?” arises in relevance to what skin type you have and the skin issues you want to deal with.

 

With this blog, we'll help you understand how face packs can pamper your skin when you select the right ingredients or products.

 

What is a Face Pack?

Face packs, through popular belief, are an essential step in skincare routines to deeply clean, nourish and rejuvenate your skin. Face Packs are thick paste that are applied on the entire face (except eyes and mouth of course) in an even layer and left to dry for 10-15 minutes. This allows the ingredients in the face pack to completely absorb into the skin and reap all the benefits. Face packs are great to detoxify the skin, provide deep relaxation and boost your overall skin health.

 

 

Why is a face pack important?

Face packs target various skin concerns and provide a glowing complexion to everyone who uses it. The most desired results that face packs provide are mentioned below.

Gives skin a deep cleanse

Face packs help remove oil, dirt, environmental pollutants and other buildup from the face. They provide a deeper cleanse than any regular cleanser can. Face packs exfoliate dead skin cells and reveal a fresh layer of skin. 

 

Boosts hydration levels

Face packs are formulated with hydrating ingredients that help restore the moisture in dry and dehydrated skin. Face packs provide quick hydration and make skin feel plump and soft. They also provide relief from skin redness, irritation and cool the skin.

 

Makes skin glow

Face packs help improve the overall complexion of your skin and brightens it up. They work by fading dark spots, reducing hyperpigmentation and promoting a healthy glow. Face packs also minimize the appearance of pores making skin appear clear and smooth.

 

Makes you appear young

Face packs provide the added benefits of helping combat early signs of aging. They tighten and firm the skin and improve skin elasticity. Consistent use can help fade wrinkles, fine lines and lead to a smoother skin texture.

 

How to choose a face pack for your skin type?

Face Pack for Oily Skin

Oily skin produces more sebum which can cause skin issues like clogged pores. Charcoal is known for drawing out all toxins and impurities from the skin and balancing oil levels. Clay is also helpful in removing accumulation from deep within your pores and making your skin feel fresh. This makes Dr.Rashel’s Charcoal Face Pack the best choice as it has the power of both ingredients.

 

Face Pack for Dry Skin

Dry skin lacks the necessary moisture which makes skin feel dull and it needs deep cleanse without stripping the skin. A Hyaluronic Acid Face Pack has the ability to attract and retain moisture in the skin and enhance its natural glow.

 

Face Pack for Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin is highly reactive and prone to skin irritation, redness and sun damage. Aloe Vera Face Pack is a soothing product that helps reduce skin inflammation, get rid of pigmentation and hydrate the skin. It helps transform dehydrated and sensitive skin into a dewy and soft look.

 

Face Pack for Combination Skin

Combination skin has the pros and cons of both oily and dry skin type. An oil controlling Clay Face Pack and a soothing Cucumber Face Pack both can be beneficial for combination skin. Use a clay face pack weekly to balance the oil production on your skin and a hydrating face pack occasionally when you need a moisture-booster.

 

How to Use a Face Pack?

Face Packs are easy to use and deliver effective results with minimum effort. Here's a guide on how to use face packs in a correct way so that your skin is provided with goodness:

 

 

Step 1: Clean your face

Once the mask has dried completely, use lukewarm water to rinse it off. Wet the face and in gentle circular motions massage the skin to remove the face pack.

 

Step 5: Moisturize your skin

After removing the face pack, use a toner (optional) to balance the skin's pH level and tighten your pores. Then use a moisturizer to lock in the hydration and keep skin feeling plump.
