You’ve definitely hear of multitasking, but have you heard of multi-masking? It’s a new skincare trend and yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like. Just like in multitasking you do a number of tasks, all at the same time, in multi-masking you put on a number of masks at the same time. But, there is a method to this madness, and we’re here to tell you just what it is.

Different people have different skin problems. One person can have multiple skin problems. You can have dry skin on your cheeks but an oily T-zone, or you can have an oily face but a dry forehead. You could have pigmentation on your cheeks and blackheads on your nose. The purpose of multi-masking is to target different areas of your face with different facemasks for specific problems, all at the same time.

Here’s a step by step guide to multi-masking.

Step 1: Always start with a freshly washed face. Wash your face with warm water before you put on any masks. Warm water helps your skin open its pores, this helps the skin absorb more product, which means the product becomes more effective.

Step 2:  Exfoliate. Using a mild scrub exfoliate your face so as to get rid of any dirt, dead skin or black/white heads beforehand.

Step 3: Identify problem areas and mask. Most common skin problems are blackheads, which occur on the nose and chin and blemishes, which occur on the cheeks. A hydrating mask goes onto your cheeks and neck, while a purifying mask works best on your nose and chin. You can add a lip scrub to the mix as well. If you want to take it further you can also invest in under-eye masks.

Step 4: Cleanse and moisturize. Once you’ve left the mask on for an appropriate amount of time, cleanse your face with a mild cleanser and do not forget to moisture after.

 

That’s all it takes. Four steps to beautiful, problem-free skin. If you want to get in on this trend, here are some amazing facemasks you must try.
