Mask up (not that mask).Â
Letâs get the bad news out of the way first. Those cute sheet masks you keep impulse-buyingâpandas, cats, even Santa Claus facesâmay contain harsh ingredients that wreak havoc on the skin. âYou just have to be really careful about what you use,â Cockrell warns. Even masks with beneficial ingredients, like pore-clearing clay or acne- and wrinkle-fighting acids, can irritate skin if used too often, she notes.
So, remember, all things in moderation and donât overthink your weekly mask routine. âYou want to be feeding, hydrating, nourishing, and moisturizing your skin,â Cockrell says. âExfoliate twice a week and do a deep mask once a week. Thereâs no need to do any more than that.â Add in safe bets like the Tata Harper Resurfacing Mask,
