There are many types of facials out there in the market. Not everyone can use everything. Hence, how would you sift through these and find the right match for your skin? The type of mask your face requires depends upon a lot of factors. Your choice of facial mask will depend on your skin type as well as your age. Skin types are many and can be classified into these few; oily, normal, combination and dry.

Oily skin has a lot of limitations. This is so especially because oily skin is prone to breakouts and clogging of pores. Lack of radiance is another limitation associated with oily skin if not taken care of properly. Therefore, oily skin a lot of pampering. And what best way than a clay based face mask! Clay mask helps in unclogging pores by going deep into the pores. Applying clay face mask once a while would give oily skin a boost in terms of exfoliation, deep cleansing and radiance. The mineral properties of clay is well suited for oily skin.

Combination skin is a little tricky. Users with combination skin would need to try out different masks to suit their needs. Also, users would need to know what to apply on which part of the face. The best facial mask for this skin type is also clay based face mask. If oily skin can be safe with clay based facial mask, combination skin could not go wrong there. However, if the clay based facial mask does not suit the user, the user would need to change and experiment with different facial masks.

Normal skin type is a blessing. This skin type has very little problems associated with it if there is any. Therefore, mostly many masks type would suit this skin type. A good boost in radiance would add much value to a face with normal skin. Hence, normal skin type users should go for the radiance boosting and firming facial masks available in the market.The facial mask normal skin user can use can come in the form of gel, cream, peel-off or even wraps.

Then there are user with dry skin type. These users need a boost in moisture. Therefore, users with dry skin need to find facial masks that has moisturizing properties. Also, uses with dry skin should stay away from the exfoliating type of facial masks. This would make their skin more prone to dryness and would cause peeling.

Age type is another factor I mentioned that needs to be taken care of. No matter what you skin type, if you are above the age 30, you would need to go for the facial masks that has firming properties. This is especially so because, as you age, your skin starts to sag. This could be prevented if you give your face regular face lifts and take care of your face.
