What’s the Best Face Scrub and Mask Combination for You?

A few things that make a Friday night-in complete: your favorite snack, your favorite show on Netflix, and a skincare routine to rid yourself of the damage your skin suffered from.

When you’re going to do some serious exfoliation, don’t waste how clean your pores are. They’re now very much ready to reap the benefits of a good face mask. If you need a little assistance on which combination is best for you, we put together a small guide.

When I suffer from a few pimples and skin inflammation, Mario Badescu Almond & Honey Non Abrasive Face Scrub is a gentle alternative to the usual exfoliators and scrubs. The crushed almonds are enough to clear your face. On the other hand, the honey softens the skin and brings down the irritation.

To clear your face up, go for the GlamGlow Powermud Dual Cleansing Mask which will pull out the remaining dirt without the need for you to physically rub it off.

Sometimes, our face can be a little dull even though we’re doing everything right. For this, try more plant-based products. The Nuxe Gentle Exfoliating Gel with Rose Petals combines also lychee seed and nutshell powder to gently clear dead cells to reveal a brighter complexion.

Follow this up with an equally gentle mask like the Sisley Radiant Glow Express Mask which has red clay, rosehip oil, and carrot to nourish that skin back to life.

If your skin feels a little too dry and dehydrated, I recommend the highly-exfoliating power of the Cure Natural Aqua Gel. Prepare to be a little grossed out with the little pills of skin you will get as you rub this on your face. The result is a softer feel to the skin after you rinse.

Since you scrubbed away a lot, make sure your skin receives a lot of nutrients that from The Body Shop Amazonian Acai Energizing Radiance Mask. Its energizing acai blend will liven up your cells especially if they’ve been deprived by they much water.

If you think you don’t have a lot of issues with your skin, except for the usual wear and tear, there’s no need for something too hard. Reach for the Stila Glowing Reviews Gentle Skin Renewal Scrub with hyaluronic acid to make sure that your clear skin now has a moisturizing barrier to prevent it from being irritated.

From here, you can get a little more from the Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask. It will hydrate your skin with avocado, apricot kernel oil, and Japanese seaweed while taking away all the bad stuff that’s possibly clogging your skin.

When your skin is feeling the effects of gravity, go in with the NARS Double Refining Exfoliator. Made with citrus fruit acids, it boosts your skin’s appearance to make it youthful again.
For a luxurious feel that will reverse the clock, La Prarie Skin Caviar Luxe Sleep Mask uses caviar to restore your skin’s firmness and nourishes your skin like a really peaceful beauty sleep to plump it up.
