Face Masks

The number of times a week you should apply a face mask depends on your skin's needs and the mask itself. The Clarifying Charcoal Mask, Pore Purifying Clay Mask, and Double Glow Peel Mask from Vichy are recommended once or twice a week while the Quenching Mineral Mask can be applied up to three times weekly.

The most important step in face mask application is ensuring that it is applied to clean skin. Once you have cleansed your face, spread a medium amount of the face mask over your face and neck using your fingertips, and then tap lightly in forward and backward motions on the forehead, cheeks and chin to maximize absorption. Rinse off or remove the face mask with a cotton pad after 5 minutes.

The amount of time a face mask should be left on your skin depends on the individual face mask. Vichy’s Clarifying Charcoal Mask, Pore Purifying Clay Mask, Double Glow Peel Mask, and Quenching Mineral Mask should all be left on for 5 minutes. For clay face masks make sure to remove them as soon as they are dry or else they will dry out your skin underneath.

The multi-masking technique allows you to use a different face masks on different sections of your skin, targeting any specific skin care concerns you may have. Before you start a multi-masking routine you’ll want to evaluate your skin to determine what you need. If you have dry areas, reach for a hydrating mask. For congested pores look to a clay mask which can help minimize pores. Finally, for dull skin use an exfoliating mask that can help reveal a more radiant complexion.

Vichy’s face masks can be used alone or for multi-masking. If you have dry areas use the Quenching Mineral Mask to hydrate skin. For congested pores use the Clarifying Charcoal Mask or Pore Purifying Clay Mask. Finally, for dull skin tones use Vichy’s Double Glow Peel Mask.
