How to Choose a Mask for your Skin Type
Aug 25, 2021 | withSimplicity
Out of all of our 7 masks, each one has different strengths in alleviating skin imperfections and impurities. Although all of our masks are amazing in their own ways, our masks can be used based on your specific skin type. Let’s look at the different skin types and talk about which mask would best suit your needs.
NORMAL SKIN
Normal skin tends to be not too oily and not too dry, just right. Usually normal skin is smooth and clean with little need for any excessive care. Typically this skin type does not have many issues, but when the menstrual cycle comes around there can be some problems our masks can help with.
MASKS TO TRY OUT
- Lumi-hance Turmeric + Vitamin C Brightening Mask: Great for exfoliating leaving the skin bright and glowy. This mask is full of antioxidants and healing ingredients to help balance the skin during your monthly cycle.
- Dead Sea Mud Mask: Great when you feel like you need a deep cleanse and moisture boost.
OILY SKIN
Oily skin tends to be associated with a slick appearance and larger pores. Sometimes oily skin can be oily from lack of moisturizing as well. This skin type is usually associated with acne and oil forming in multiple areas on the face. For this skin type we recommend looking for masks that have these following ingredients: Activated charcoal, thyme, witch hazel, hemp seed, lemon, rose, rosemary, coffee, peppermint, and orange. These ingredients will help with oil production and maintaining acne.
MASKS TO TRY OUT
- Renew + Retain | Spirulina + Kelp Correcting Mask: Promotes cell-turnover, fosters collagen production, and brings a radiant new, youthful look to your skin while adding a healthy, non-oily amount of moisture.
- Clay Mask: Great for absorbing excess oil, minimizing pores, and removing impurities.
COMBINATION SKIN
This skin type is associated with oily and dry skin depending on certain parts of the face. The T-Zone (chin, forehead, and nose) is the most common area to be oily while the cheeks stay fairly dry. When looking for a mask, we recommend looking for these ingredients for combination skin: evening primrose, castor seed, rose hip, sea buckthorn, sunflower, lemon, rose, and rosemary.

The blend of clays and unique, natural ingredients stimulates blood circulation, restores balance, pulls imperfections from deep within the skin, and gives your skin back its healthy glow in less than 15 minutes.
DRY SKIN
Dry skin is usually more dry than normal skin. It has a rough and tight textured appearance. Some dry skin can be ashy or red from the dryness. The skin can also crack with this skin type as well. This kind of skin can also be very itchy for the person who has it. We recommend looking for masks that contain these ingredients: argan oil, olive, coconut, jojoba, almond, avocado, pomegranate, rosehip, sea buckthorn, sesame, sunflower, cocoa, mango, and shea butter.

Not only is honey naturally antibacterial, making it great for acne-prone skin, but it’s full of antioxidants that help slow down aging... not to mention it’s extremely moisturizing.
SENSITIVE SKIN
Sensitive skin is usually associated with redness and tightness. It needs a good amount of care to combat acne, roughness, and dryness of the skin. The protective barrier for this skin type is very thin which makes this skin prone to irritations and infections. The ingredients we recommend to look for in masks are: calendula, lavender, oats, matcha, and avocado.
