How many of you use facial masks regularly? I do! I really love facial masks and what they do on my face. I use a deep cleansing mask once every week and moisturizing masks two to three times a week (and other functional masks too). What about you?

i just can not imagine myself living without beauty masks..so i use them regularly..if not weekly at least fortnightly..i use more of moisturizing masks and those for instant glow..whenever i have to go out on some special occasion or on some party with friends i do use them and for that time my pick is the one providing instant glow like the green tea mask..i find it very soothing also..i mostly go for the ones containing minimum of chemicals and more of herbal or natural extracts..in fact i have never tried the ones with chemicals only..i use them at home mostly and some time i go to parlor to get them on along with other body care like when there is some major function ahead and the time is too less for home care..i think they are absolute necessity to keep your skin healthy and glowing so i always go for them..

Right definitely for me, they are necessities too! I properly couldn't live without them. I think they are just so fun. These days I bought some clay and kind of mix it with everything I could find and try to see the different effect. *laughs* Really fun experience.

I use facial masks too, once a week, on Sundays. I mainly use a Sandalwood based pack for its fresh and aromatic feel. But now I am using a Neem-based face pack for its action on small infections and pimples on my face. A facial rejuvenates my face and keeps in firm and fresh

Sandalwood based pack? Sounds really nice! What brand is it? And what's its functions? Moisturizing? I love Sandalwood scent!

Usually I will go out to have a facial treatment every week. As to have a facial mask by myself, I hardly have time to do so:) I am very lazy in this aspect.

I love face masks. I use Biore brand face mask. I try to use it every 3 days but sometimes I get too bust and forget, I think if I could remember to do it regualely my skin would probably look better.

*laughs* I would do that regularly! At least on the weekends because that would be like a spa day for me *laughs*.

Hello wondericequeen, I love facial masks but I don't do it regularly right now. I consider myself lucky if I can do it once a week. Normally it is just twice a month. I don't have special preference brand for this one but whatever brand that 'captured' my eyes while I shop for the masks, will get my full attention then...

That's nice! Sometimes I am lazy too and I wouldn't bother to do a facial mask. But most of the time I would stick to my routine! I love cloth masks the most these days, it's just too convenience!

I do! I love the way my face feels right after I take it off. It's so soft and looks so fresh. I also use a deep cleansing mask. I use a clarifying mask as well. Do you use a specific brand? I used to use the little packets from wal-mart and they worked pretty well. Then I tried the Freeman's cucumber mask...it was good but really sticky. I am now using Mary Kay and I love it. I thought of trying the Biore because I love their cleansing products.

Ok you are in the states. For deep cleansing mask, I would vote for Queen Helene. It's really cheap and it does unclog pores and cleans away the dirt effectively! I got one when I went to the states last time and I am really happy with it. If your skin feels a little dry after using a deep cleansing mask, you could just follow with a moisturizing mask right after. That's magical. After cleaning away the dirt, your skin absorbs the moisturizing mask a lot better! I do this every time!

I do use facial masks mainly to add glow to my skin but not quite a frequent user. I normally let my skin be at its own self and hardly feel that i need to use a facial. However i do use a cleanser to clear off any dust accumilation on my skin.

I think that face masks are good in moderation. If you use them too much there is nothing for it to clean out of your skin other than what your normal face wash would do. It's a waste of money in that case. However I do love using them about a week before an event to prep my skin for the makeup!
