Cosmetologists and dermatologists are deeply impressed by the new LED masks, which help to get rid of acne and blemishes, as well as redness on the face. How it works? “A well-chosen mask enhances the effect of other remedies that a woman uses during the day,” says Professor Doris Day. “I am surprised that such masks are considered quite common and are not included in the category of necessary funds. Believe me, you are depriving yourself and your skin of a very important part of your skin care if you do not use masks. " Another reason doctors love masks so much is their effectiveness and instant results. "There are just a few products that you can apply on your face and see immediate results," says dermatologist Ranella Hirsch. "The substances in masks are usually more concentrated than in serums and creams, which is why the effect is immediately noticeable."
An important rule of thumb when choosing a mask is not to expect it to rid you of everything at once. It is necessary to formulate for yourself in advance what effect you expect. So, "anti-aging" is not quite the right answer - masks are aimed at a point solution to specific problems, so you need to choose carefully.
Moisturizing
Cloth masks aren't just for posting terrifying selfies on Instagram. "The most effective are soaked in hyaluronic acid," says Hirsch. "And they moisturize the skin very well." For example, Lancôme Génifique Youth Activating Second Skin mask. Before applying the mask to your face, treat your skin with your favorite serum. These funds will mutually influence each other and give an excellent effect at the output!
Radiance
Masks with fruit acid and enzymes will help fight "tired" skin. “Products with fruit enzymes act as a light exfoliation on the skin and help it look fresher and brighter,” says Hirsch. The risk of "loading" the skin with unnecessary ingredients is minimal, if we are talking about restoring the color and radiance of the face, cosmetologists say, so you can not be particularly limited in this procedure.
Combating oily skin
For solving problems with oily skin, the L'Oréal Paris Purify & Mattify Mask is the best choice. It absorbs excess and nourishes the skin with soothing minerals. Cosmetologists also recommend products with seaweed, which will dry out the skin slightly.
For shining eyes
The skin around the eyes is thinner and therefore ages faster than the rest of the face. This fact can be used as an advantage, because aging skin will absorb all the beneficial ingredients from the mask, says Dr. Hirsch. Experts advise you to pay attention to the Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Concentrated Recovery mask.
LED masks
A new word in cosmetology is the Neutrogena Light Therapy Acne Mask. Its effect is based on the work of red and blue LEDs, which kill bacteria that cause acne and gently reduce the effects of acne. They say the result is noticeable after the first application. The mask is put on the face like glasses. It is enough to hold it for about ten minutes. Of course, there are analogues of Neutrogen on the market: for example, the Opera LED mask, which, according to scientists, is able to reduce wrinkles around the eyes and stimulate collagen production.
