Different Masks, Beautiful Benefits: Get the Most from your Masking

We love a masking moment. Whether you take the time to mask on the daily or save masking for special occasions, a face mask is always a chance to slow down and to treat your skin to intentional care. Our experts agree that masking isn’t simply a lovely luxury. Rather, it’s a very real chance to infuse skin with extra results-driven goodness.
