Discover the top 4 types of facial masks to incorporate into your summer skincare routine:
1. Clarifying Mask
Summer heat intensifies sebum production, resulting in excess sweat and oil. Coupled with environmental pollutants, inadequate cleansing can lead to clogged pores, enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation, and acne breakouts.

Clarifying Mask
Deep-seated impurities, makeup residue, and excess sebum can be challenging to remove with just a cleanser or makeup remover. This is where clarifying masks come in, offering a thorough cleansing solution to decongest your pores.
For oily, acne-prone skin, aim for a clarifying mask twice a week. Ingredients such as bamboo charcoal, kaolin clay, salicylic acid, and fruit acids effectively absorb excess oil, regulate sebum production, and combat acne-causing anaerobic bacteria, including folliculitis.
2. Hydrating Mask
Amidst the myriad of mask options, prioritize hydration. Moisturizing is the cornerstone of an effective skincare regimen.

Hydrating Mask
Dehydrated skin can lead to a host of issues, including rough texture and an imbalanced oil-water ratio. During summer, opt for hydrating agents like hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, vitamin B5, and glycerin to replenish moisture levels.
These ingredients provide an instant boost of hydration and aid in restoring the skin’s moisture barrier after exposure to harsh sunlight.
However, moderation is key—aim for a hydrating mask treatment 2-3 times weekly. Additionally, enhance your skin’s hydration by increasing your water intake and incorporating water-rich fruits and vegetables like watermelon, pear, and winter melon into your diet.
3. Brightening Mask
Summer’s intense UV rays not only increase the risk of sunburn but also contribute to skin discoloration. Brightening masks are an effective solution to achieve a radiant, even complexion.

Brightening Mask
Key ingredients such as vitamin C, fruit acids, and arbutin promote melanin metabolism while inhibiting or eliminating melanin production. This helps even out skin tone, effectively diminishing dark spots and freckles.
4. Soothing Mask
Summer invites us to bask in the sunshine, but prolonged exposure to intense rays, even with sunscreen, can result in skin redness and sunburn.

– Frequency and duration matter: Aim for 2-3 masking sessions per week, with each session lasting about 20 minutes.
– Seal in moisture: Follow up with a hydrating moisturizer to lock in the benefits.
