FAQs
Who should be using a face mask?
“Face masks are a great opportunity to deliver quality ingredients to your skin that can help maintain youthfulness, restore hydration and slow the aging process,” says Dr. Ibrahimi. “Almost everyone could use a face mask if you have the time to dedicate to applying the product in the evening. There are different face masks for different concerns including brightening, hydrating, oily skin or anti-aging purposes.”
Are face masks a necessary item in a skincare routine?
“I wouldn’t call them necessary but its an excellent opportunity to indulge your skin in a fun pampering routine and it doesn’t need to be done every night. It could be a once or twice a week treat for your skin,” says Dr. Ibrahimi.
What kind of face masks do you recommend?
“I would pick the type of face mask depending on the age and goals of the patient,” says Dr. Ibrahimi. “Older patients probably want to focus more on anti-aging whereas patients with oily or acne prone skin may want to choose something that reduces sebum production.”
