Removing the Mask - Supplementing Professional Skin Care at Home

Filed Under Skin Care Articles, Skin Care Tips |

Whether you have regular facials with a professional esthetician or dermatologist or if you regard facials as a special treat you rarely afford yourself, you can and should invest in some additional “face time” every month.

While professional facial treatments are often seen as a luxury, many women are adding them to their regular skin care routine especially if they are encountering certain troubles which often accompany aging skin such as adult acne, age spots, rosecea and fine lines and wrinkles. In addition, professional facials are ideal as post treatment care for chemical peels, microdermabrasion and Botox injections. But just how much professional treatment should you be getting?

The answer is, of course, dependent on your skin type and the specific problems you are addressing, but there are many treatments that you can duplicate at home with absolutely amazing results that won’t stretch your budget or enslave your calendar.

One very effective and inexpensive way to pamper your skin is the home treatment mask. Masks are ideal at home treatments as they are generally easy to apply, are inexpensive and need only to be used once or twice a month for optimum results. Masks should leave your skin looking renewed and healthy and while a temporary redness may occur as you are stimulating the blood circulation in your face, you do not want to irritate your skin or over dry your skin, so diligent care should be taken when choosing and using an over the counter mask.

The variety of masks available on the market are astounding and range from very inexpensive and easy to use … which are readily available at your corner drugstore to more expensive masks available at cosmetic departments in high end department stores and boutiques. At home mask treatments are often available at your dermatologist’s or esthetician’s which is an excellent resource as they can best help you find the perfect mask to address your specific issues.

There are many masks you can concoct yourself using vegetables, honey and assorted fruits, but these are generally not as time saving as you may want.

If you feel your skin is especially dehydrated and tired looking, you may need to exfoliate the dead skin cells from your face. Especially affective exfoliating masks include masks which use lactic acid that gently remove dead skin cells, reduce the sebum in your skin and leaves your skin soft and renewed. Look for natural ingredients in your at-home mask such as vitamins, natural botanicals and minerals as some artificial chemicals and additives can be overly harsh to your skin and leave your skin more irritated than invigorated.

Chellá Skin Care offers two extraordinary masks which are the perfect choice for at-home treatments. The Chellá Enzyme Formula Exfoliating Crema Mask uses lactic acid to gently exfoliate dead skin cells and reduce excess sebum on your skin and The Chellá Balancing Clay Mask detoxifies and refines pores while calming and soothing your skin.

So without spending a lot of time and money for professional facial treatments, you can achieve that just from the spa look in the comfort and privacy of your own home.
