Face masks are the ultimate self-care product. When else do you get to take 20 minutes out of your day and do something just for yourself? Besides being a much-deserved mini-break during the morning of your wedding, face masks can also be the key to achieving that highly sought after bridal glow. WedLuxe talked to beauty expert, Michelle Lee, founder of skincare brand, MaskerAide,  about why face masks should be your new bridal best friend!

Why are face masks so great for your skin?

“They act as an incubator for your skin. The mask blocks the air from the skin and enhances the skin temperature, which causes the pores to open and increases the skin’s metabolic rate. They also promote sweat gland secretion, increasing the oxygen content within the skin, allowing for better absorption of vitamins and nutrients. The intense and quick surge of hydration from one mask plumps up the skin with needed moisture eliminating the signs of dehydration, dryness and ageing. This results in perfectly soft and supple skin that glows!”

How often should brides use a face mask to ensure their skin glows on the day of their wedding?

“Six months in advance, 2-3 times a week is ideal; however, even 1-2 months works as well. Gently exfoliate the skin first and then apply the hydrating sheet mask for the best results. And definitely remember to do a mask before makeup application on your wedding day!”

What are the key ingredients brides should look for that will help them glow? 

• Orange Peel Oil –  “A natural source of Vitamin E and brightening, it also promotes the production of collagen to make skin firmer and smoother.”
• Niacinamide – “Improves skin elasticity and brightens.”
• Rice Extract – “With anti-ageing, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, this super ingredient promotes collagen synthesis and brightens the skin.”

“All these ingredients can be found in our Pre Party Prep Mask, which really helps achieve an amazing glow!”

 

For your big day Michelle recommends: 

Dry Skin

“Look for ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and Argan oil. Argan oil is full of essential fatty acids, including Omega 3 oils, tocopherol (vitamin E), which is present in each of our signature hydrating sheet masks. We recommend any of our signature hydrating sheet masks for dry skin types.”

Oily Skin

“Keep an eye out for ingredients such as tea tree and charcoal. We recommend our charcoal bubble mask or rose gold peel-off mask to anyone with oily skin. Our bubble mask is especially helpful with deep cleansing and sebum production control.”

Combination Skin

“Look out for ingredients such as Chinese plum, Argan oil and honey (gently exfoliates and hydrate at the same time). We recommend our Detox Diva sheet mask for combination skin types.”

Sensitive Skin

“You’ll want to avoid products that contain parabens, harsh dyes, pigment, mineral oil, artificial fragrance and benzophenone. Our signature line of hydrating sheet masks is a perfect match for someone with sensitive skin because we formulate them with essential oils, paired with a safe formula.”
