The Many Benefits of Facial Masks

When your skin needs serious individualized attention, facial masks can be one of the most effective ways to obtain instant, effective results. From restoring moisture to dry, dehydrated, lackluster skin to unclogging pores and soothing major skin concerns such as blemishes, irritation and redness, our highly concentrated organic facial masks will help your skin in these six different ways.

1. Clean out and Refine Pores

While a face wash/cleanser gets rid of superficial impurities, organic masks are infused with concentrated ingredients that deep cleanse beneath the top layer of the skin.   Our Enzymatic and Exfoliating Acid-based facial masks (learn the difference) contain the best performing agents that effectively break down keratin protein or dead skin cells, dirt, oil and deep-seated impurities responsible for clogging pores. Utilizing a mask biweekly will reduce the chances of acne blemishes and help clear blackheads.

2.  Highly Nourishing Ingredients

With a number of different and unique clinically proven natural ingredients in our Papaya & Honey Exfoliator Mask & Scrub (or the SBR version), your skin will appreciate the higher concentration of plant bioactives than that contained in almost every other skin care product!  Ingredients such as Papaya Enzymes, Honey, Milk, Neem, Sage, Eyebright, Yucca Root, Essential Oils of Lemon, Fennel, etc. contain powerful antioxidants with highly soothing, anti-inflammatory agents that deeply nourish, lock in moisture and encourage cell regeneration.

3. Fades Hyperpigmentation

Exfoliating masks contain alpha or beta hydroxy acids, enzymes and natural scrubbing particles that gently buff and help improve complexion. Skin actives in facials masks improve blood circulation and help reduce melanin production to ensure an even-toned and refreshed appearance.

4. Improves Performance of Skin Treatments

Using a mask 2-3X times a week is essential to boost the performance of your other skin care treatments. By masking, you’re ensuring your skin stays clean, toned and hydrated. This helps our Organic Serums and Anti-aging treatments to be absorbed more quickly and more deeply for noticeably effective results.

5. Calms Sensitive Skin

For sensitive skin, heavy duty skin treatments are not always the best option. SBR Regimen for Pitta Skin (with SBR Papaya & Honey Facial Mask as an important step) is specially designed for the sensitive, blemish and rosacea-prone complexion. Devoid of harsh physical exfoliants, the non-irritating formula is enzymatic in action that targets and eliminates free radicals. A blend of clinically proven botanically based soothing ingredients further eliminates the toxic elements that cause redness and irritation, and promote rapid healing.

6. Enhances Skin’s Elasticity & Hydration

Masks help improve hydration, especially for dry, dehydrated skin. Moisturizing ingredients like Raw Manuka Honey, Milk and Vegetable Glycerin penetrate deeply into the dermis and help drench the skin in moisture.  In the long run, this enhances elasticity for more youthful appearing skin.

Facial Masks & Exfoliating Scrubs

After cleansing your skin with a suitable organic cleanser, our organic facial masks can be directly applied as a thin layer on the skin. You will  experience an instant drawing action with some mild tingling as an effect of natural plant actives. Leave the mask on the skin for 5-60 minutes and rinse with warm water.
