Before applying any mask ensure the skin is thoroughly cleansed, you may like to try deep cleansing with steam.
To do this, first ensure skin is free of any make up or dirt, then carefully fill a bowl with boiling water and hold your face 10 to 15 inches away from the boil in the direction of the steam. Covering your head with a towel will prevent the steam from escaping, after about 10 minutes blot skin dry with a tissue and apply one of the following masks.
