Facial masks are generally not a good idea for the daily care of the skin. While a clay or silicone or vegetable mask can feel good, most of the masks can irritate the skin. Sometimes, however, a face mask is just the thing to cure defects. And the good thing is that you can do to just pennies.
In the old days, mothers and grandmothers of children treated their 'spots with masks made of sulfur and mud. There is no doubt that sulfur, yellow and smelly as it is, disinfect acne-prone skin. The problem is, different reactions between sulfur and water and mud can create a very mild solution of sulfuric acid. The acid also disinfects the skin, but it takes more than skin cells and sebum that had died along with him when the mask is removed.
And even if you make mask that does not irritate the skin, masks are no longer the best option for the treatment of spots. Acne must be treated once or twice every day. Very few of us have time for two facials a day, and never too commercial masks do not irritate the skin.
Another old favorite, however, is completely safe skin. Milk of Magnesia makes a mask that really cure spots. It is alkaline rather than acid, and magnesium offer acts as a potent antioxidant directly the pores of the skin. The milk of magnesia is anti-inflammatory, and gram for gram, it absorbs far more than any fat clay.
Clay. Just remember that there are alternatives cheaper, and be sure that any mask you use to not irritate the skin spots. Remember, if a product makes your skin to break, it's not your fault.
