Do you put on cleanser before skin mask?

Do you put on cleanser before skin mask?

There can be considerable ambiguity regarding product application when it comes to skincare products, leading many people to wonder “Do you put on cleanser before skin mask?” - At Prana Beauty, we believe in supporting you through every step of your skincare journey to get optimal results. Let's look into why cleansing before masking is crucial and how this step will improve overall skincare regimens.

Why Proper Cleansing Before Applying a Mask Is Essential

Cleansers serve to clear away dirt, oil, makeup, and impurities from your skin's surface, so skipping this step and proceeding directly with applying masks traps all of those impurities within them resulting in clogged pores, breakouts, and decreased effectiveness of the mask.

Clean skin allows masks to work more deeply and efficiently; whether hydrating, brightening, or detoxifying. Applying them directly over an unblemished surface ensures you reap its full benefits; for instance, our Brightening Saffron Serum at Prana Beauty works best when applied after being thoroughly cleansed as it allows its active ingredients to absorb better and provide for a radiant complexion.

Step-by-Step Guide To Using a Cleanser and Skin Mask

1. Start With A Gentle Cleanser

Find a gentle non-stripping cleanser specified for your skin type from Prana Beauty that suits you. At Prana, we advise products that help maintain natural moisture barriers of skin to keep its natural oils intact; stripping skin of its oils could result in dryness and irritation which isn't helpful when dealing with "dry skin that never seems moisturized".

2. Pat Your Face Dry

After cleansing your face thoroughly, use a soft, damp towel to pat it dry - do not rub as this may irritate the skin further! Your skin should still feel slightly damp; this helps ensure optimal absorption of mask treatments.

3. Apply The Skin Mask

Now that your skin has been purified and prepared for the application of a mask - whether a clay detox mask, sheet, or exfoliating mask - apply one. Clean skin allows these products to work more effectively than otherwise.

4. Follow Up with a Moisturizer or Serum

After taking off your mask, it's crucial to lock in its benefits with moisturizer or serum. If your face "never seems moisturized", this step is essential. We suggest our Brightening Saffron Serum as an additional hydration and glow boost - its synergy works wonders with masking for radiant and smooth results!

Avoid These Common Mistakes

Skipping Cleanser 

As we've already established, forgoing cleansing products may lead to less effective masking results. Always start fresh for optimal outcomes!

Using A Harsh Cleanser

Before using a mask, using harsh or overly drying cleansers may strip your skin of essential oils that help make the mask effective, rendering your pores less responsive to receiving its benefits. 

Not Following Up With A Moisturizer or Serum

No matter the benefits of a mask are easily lost if they're not secured with an effective moisturizer or serum afterward, which is why Prana Beauty's Brightening Saffron Serum makes an excellent post-mask hydration and revitalization treatment option.
