But before you hit that “add” button, below is a peek at the different kinds of masks.

The most common and affordable among all the masks is made of cotton that is soaked in a serum containing hydrating active ingredients. It works as an occlusive on the skin for maximum absorption of the serum. It is usually worn by lying down to keep the mask from slipping off your face.

Available in either a cream or clay form that is applied thinly all over the face. You leave it on for 15 to 30 minutes until it dries up. You either peel or wash it off, stripping off the dirt from  the topmost layer of the skin. This is why it usually goes well for combination to oily skin types that
