Face Masks and Face Packs are an easy and inexpensive way to perk up your skin and pamper yourself.

Here are some tips which will help you get the best out of your mask.

If you are using a homemade mask, try to prepare a fresh batch every time you are pampering yourself.

If you are using a product from the market, keep your tools along with you; a face mask applicator or a wide brush. And, keep cotton pads and wash cloth along with them.


Cut two very thin slices of cucumber or potato for relaxing your eyes.

Keep all these things in the refrigerator to make them cool till the time you are ready to use them.

In the mean time, cleanse your face thoroughly.

Exfoliate if necessary. It removes the dead skin cells and helps your masks absorb better.

Steam your face to open the pores for just 2 minutes. As an alternative, take a wash cloth and dip it in hot water (as hot as your face can bear) and cover your face with the wash cloth till it cools off.

Take the face mask applicator or a wide brush and apply the mask with it. If you do not have one, make sure your hands are clean before applying the mask. Wash them, if necessary, and dry them entirely before proceeding with the mask application.

After applying the mask, keep the cucumber or potato slices on your eyes and relax till the time advised on the product or till the mask dries off. Switch off the light. It relaxes you better.

After the said waiting time, wipe off the mask with a wet wash cloth or cotton pad. In case of clay masks, it is always better to wash off the mask when it starts to harden up. Try not to let it completely dry on your face.

Follow with a toner and a moisturizer.
