Mask

Depending on your skin type, your facialist will select the appropriate mask that is best for your skin condition. Mud or clay masks are commonly used on oily skins to draw out any remaining impurities. If you have active acne, she may use a benzoyl peroxide or sulphur mask instead to fight acne bacteria and excess sebum. To reveal a radiant glow, a mask containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), enzymes or glycolic acid (a powerful chemical exfoliant) will exfoliate away dead skin and encourage cell turnover. A hydrating mask benefits dry, aging skin and can contain anything from glycerin to sweet almond oil.

A mask should stay on for 10 to 15 minutes and is followed by another cleansing and then finally a thin layer of moisturizer.
