What if we told you that your face could become velvety soft in just 15 minutes? No, it’s not a magic potion… and it’s not a gimmick seen on TV either. It’s a real skincare technique used by people for centuries, called...a facial mask! 

Most masks are a type of film or paste made with clay. Various beautifying ingredients are blended into the clay to nourish your skin. So how does a mask work, exactly? Let’s dive in and find out. 

The Mask Does all the Work

Never used a facial mask before? It’s easy! Simply open the jar and apply the contents to your face. The mask does the rest. As it dries, it does wondrous things to your skin underneath. It’s like giving your face a mini spa treatment! Cucumbers over your eyes are optional.

You don’t have to wait long to see and feel the results on your skin. The facial masks offered by Indie Beauty Market take about 10-15 minutes to dry. Simply rinse your face with warm water when you’re done. You’ll notice a fresh, dewey feel on your skin right away. Moisturize as usual (we don’t tone after a mask, we leave all that goodness alone)... and you’re ready to go!

Different Masks, Targeted Results

Ask yourself how you can reach the goal of improving your skin’s health. Do you live in an area where there’s significant pollution? Get a detoxifying mask. Have oily skin that produces a lot of breakouts? A mask that balances your skin will do the trick. There are even masks for your lips and eyes if you’re looking to treat specific areas. No matter your skincare challenge, there is a facial mask that can solve it. 

Check out the ingredients while you’re shopping for facial masks. Ingredients like oats and rose essential oils are excellent moisturizers. Mango and green tea have antioxidant anti-aging properties. There are even masks with ground up gemstones like rose quartz and diamonds in them! These beautiful tiny gems gently exfoliate your skin, revealing the inner beauty beneath. 

Show off Your Beauty!

Facial masks are a fast and easy way to make your skin super soft. They’re the perfect addition to your skincare routine! Apply and let dry… wash off, and glow! You got this. Now, go show the world what your fresh skin is really made of.
