Utilized by experts to customize the best outcome, multi-masking is the art of combining various masks to target specific concerns. It’s easy and effective, and you don’t have to visit a facialist to experience the benefits. With the proper skincare products and a few tips, here’s how to multi-mask like a pro.
Multi-masking for dry skin
Troubled by a bumpy skin texture and dry patches? Your first thought may be “I must moisturize!” Applying a day cream or face moisturizer is essential, yes, but even the most potent hydrator won’t be effective if it’s applied to a parched outer layer. It’s also likely that skin is dry in different ways across your face, appearing sandpaper-like over the forehead but with flaky, dehydrated patches on the cheeks. Multi-masking can help. Using two formulas will remove dead cells that can block your skin’s ability to absorb the hydrating ingredients it’s desperate for while also allowing you to tend to each zone without overstripping.
- Apply an exfoliating and refining clay mask for rough skin, like L’Oréal Paris Pure-Clay Cleansing Mask for Rough Skin, on the forehead.
- On the cheeks, try L’Oréal Paris Pure-Clay Cleansing Mask for Skin With Imperfections. It’s a mix of three mineral clays and yuzu lemon extract for a luminous and soft finish.
- After you rinse off the masks, while your skin is still damp, apply a layer of Revitalift Triple Power LZR 1.5% Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum for a deeply hydrating finish.
Multi-masking to get rid of skin imperfections and irritation
Every skin type is unique, which is why multi-masking can be a fantastic bespoke solution to manage diverse needs in close proximity. If blemishes and irritated dry spots co-exist on your skin, it’s easy to treat both simultaneously with specific ingredients.
- Over breakout-prone areas, like around the nose and along the lower jaw, apply a clay mask for oily skin. L’Oréal Paris Pure-Clay Cleansing Mask for Oily Skin is a mixture of kaolin, montmorillonite and Moroccan-lava clays that will work to clear congested pores and mattify, while the eucalyptus adds an invigorating touch.
- Next, apply a soothing mask formula to calm delicate zones, like the forehead and across the upper cheeks. L’Oréal Paris Pure-Clay Cleansing Mask for Sensitive Skinis a triple-mineral clay base infused with seaweed extract to comfort and unify reactive skin.
- Customizing your skincare routine can also work at the moisturizing stage. Try using an oil-free, shine-reducing lotion by day and a soothing cream by night.
Multi-masking for radiant skin
Whether your day-to-day status is normal, oily, dry or combination, a lackluster appearance can sneak up on any skin type. When it does, reach for a universally beneficial face mask designed to revive. L’Oréal Paris Pure-Clay Cleansing Mask for Dull Skin can be added to any multi-masking routine and used up to three times a week. It’s boosted with charcoal powder, a powerful active that attracts impurities to leave skin energized and brightened. For a megawatt skin glow, indulge in some prep work.
Before you apply any mask, be sure to thoroughly cleanse and tone skin with a suitable formula.
