3 Types of Facial Masks You Need to Include in Your Skincare Routine!
Behind every skincare routine you have designed for your skin, there is bound to be that one step that ensures that you restore and retain what your skin desires.
What are face masks and how do they work?
Face masks are occlusive, which means they cover the skin like a blanket and deliver beneficial ingredients to improve the skin’s appearance and quality.
A face mask can provide a more concentrated dose and more potent version of its contents than other types of application, whether it's salicylic acid for acne, vitamin C for fine lines, or retinoid for brightening dark spots. Depending on the substances used and the aim of the mask, the face mask traps moisture or an ingredient in the skin and forms a film that serves to hydrate, moisturize, dry, or exfoliate the skin. Face masks, as a result, allow chemicals to permeate deeper into your skin in less time.
What is the hydrogel texture?
Before we delve into the different types of facial masks you need to include in your skincare routine, it is essential to introduce the hydrogel texture, a key component to look for in your face masks.
About 90% of the water in hydrogel dressings is suspended in a gel of insoluble hydrophilic polymers that swells when in contact with water. They are frequently manufactured from synthetic polymers of molecules like polymethacrylate and polyvinylpyrrolidine, some of which are coupled with dressings made of alginate. They regulate the fluid exchange at the wound-bandage interface, substituting hydrogel components for sodium and other wound discharge chemicals.
In many ways, the hydrogel textures are perfect for use as wound dressings. They can create and maintain wounds clean by encouraging the clearance of diseased or necrotic tissue through autolysis when administered to dry wounds, as well as sloughing or necrotic wounds.
In simpler terms, hydrogel has the ability to speed up wound healing in addition to provide physical protection to your skin. Hydrogel can absorb extra fluid and keep a moist microenvironment.
