I use the same one once a week, but that's because I don't use conditioner (my hair is nordic fine and thin so conditioner only makes it heavy and flat). If you do use conditioner, I would say once every other week.

Tips for Using Herbal Masks

Herbal masks are a great way to freshen your skin, tighten your pores, reduce the signs of aging and clear up blemishes.  Using natural ingredients extracted from plants and earth, these types of masks are free of chemicals and brimming with nourishment.

Like any skin care product, it's important to choose one that is right for your skin.  Many of the herbal masks are made from food items that could trigger allergic reactions.  Strawberries are a perfect example of an ingredient that could be found in a facial mask that is a high allergen risk.  

If your skin is dry or sensitive, you should avoid using clay masks.  However, if you are prone to oiliness, a clay mask is ideal.  These masks are made from muds, mineralized earth and often marine muds, making them thick and heavy.  For oily skin, they draw out debris and oil from the pores leaving skin clearer and fresh.

Strawberries, oats and even cucumbers can often be found in exfoliating masks which use tiny granules to gently scrub away dead skin cells.  This is a great weekly treatment to keep skin regenerating and prevent pores from being clogged.  However, make sure you read the ingredients labels carefully, since these are most likely to contain allergenic ingredients such as oats or strawberries.  

If you find your skin is on the dry side, look for moisturizing herbal masks containing hydrating ingredients like honey, milk or aloe vera.  These types of masks replenish lost moisture and aid in the natural retention of moisture.  These light masks don't usually dry to the skin and are easily rinsed away for a gentle, soothing facial experience.

Naturally occuring anti-oxidants are found in things like tomatoes, green tea and aloe vera.  These properties are commonly used in anti-aging masks to firm the skin, stimulate regeneration of new cells and revitalize the face.  After using this type of herbal mask, you'll notice a reduction in wrinkles and fine lines as well as smooth and velvety soft skin.  

If the healing and beautifying elements of herbal masks aren't enough to compel you to try one, then consider the luxurious relaxation you can enjoy while you indulge yourself in the natural essences of nature's bounty.
