Although skincare firms are not permitted to make any medical or healing claims for their products, a good face masque can be used to treat and soothe your skin.

Apply the mask immediately after cleansing, especially if it requires rinsing off (like an exfoliating or detoxifying mask). Apply the mask before your moisturizer if it needs to be left on for the entire night.
