After selecting the face masks that best match your skin type and concerns, it’s time to multi-mask. Multi-masking is a great way to incorporate face masks into your beauty routine on a more personalized level, as you can dictate what areas of the complexion each mask targets. For instance, if you have dry cheeks that are rough in texture and a congested t-zone and chin that could use a little deep cleaning, you may consider selecting an exfoliating face mask for your cheeks and a deep cleaning face mask for your T-zone and chin. Once you’ve made your selection, apply the masks to the designated areas in a patchwork formation. For more information on how to multi-mask, check out our step-by-step guide.
