What are the benefits of using a facial mask?

Esthetician formula masks (also spelled "masques") are designed to deep clean, exfoliate, and refine pores. There are two types of masks: wash-off (usually clay-based) and peel-off (a liquid film which dries to a peelable sheet). Because clay masks are effective oil absorbers and draw out impurities, they're best for oily or combination skin. Firming masks tone and tighten skin and restore a healthy glow.
