Give and Take

When you’re thinking about including a mask into your skin care regime, you must think about what you want it to do, the result you desire. The best way to ask your self this is by asking if you want the mask to TAKE or GIVE something to your skin. Essentially this is how a mask/masque works. If you want to reduce surface oil, or clarify the skin tone then you should be considering a Take Mask. If you want to add moisture, calm skin irritations then you want a Give Mask.

Here is a quick list of what the differences are:

TAKE:

Oily Skin

Acne

Brown Spots/ Pigmentation

GIVE:

Dry Skin

Aging Skin

Sensitive Skin

The Take category will draw out toxins or regulate a function that is causing pigmentation issues (the illusion of clarifying the brown spots). Clays will suppress surface oil, Acids will clear acne and brown spots.

The Give category injects the skin with moisture for parched dehydrated skin. Aging skin will benefit for the surge of moisture, and ingredients like Aloe or Chamomile will soothe irritated sensitive skin.
