How to use a facial mask
Posted July 20, 2023
Facial masks have many restoring and rejuvenating benefits for your skin. They hydrate the skin, remove skin impurities, refine the pores, and leave your skin looking and feeling plump and soft.
Applying a face mask is also a wonderful way to relax and enjoy some self-pampering time at home.
Good skincare routine
Our unique formulations include ingredients such as ground rosehips, crushed chamomile flowers, Australian Kakadu plum, Australian macadamia oil, jojoba oil and more. You will love using them as not only do they smell and feel delicious, but your skin will also receive a nourishing nutrition-boost. At Kosmea, we believe they are an essential part of a good skincare routine.
How often should you apply a facial mask?
This depends on the type of face mask and the ingredients used. For example, clay and mud masks work to draw out impurities and may dry out the skin if they are used too frequently. Having said this, Kosmea’s masks are creamier and gentler while still penetrating the deeper layers of the skin to cleanse and refine the skin pores. For example, our Energising Radiance Mask can be left on as an overnight treatment to deeply hydrate the skin. Reveal Your Glow Mask which contains Australian clay, can be used regularly and some of our clients even use this particular mask every day in the shower.
Can I exfoliate my skin if I use a facial mask?
It is better for your skin to exfoliate before a facial mask not after, as your skin will be soft, and exfoliation may be too harsh.
Or, you can use Kosmea’s Reveal Your Glow Mask which contains crushed chamomile flowers to exfoliate, and Australian clay to draw out impurities. It’s unique formulation hydrates and nourishes at the same time and is therefore one of our most loved products.
How long should you wear a facial mask?
At Kosmea we have two types of masks which are both creamy in texture.
Reveal Your Glow Mask
The Reveal Your Glow Mask is gentle, exfoliates, and draws out impurities at the same time. We recommend leaving it on for 5-10 minutes, but it is gentle enough to be left for up to 20 minutes if your skin responds well. Many of our customers use them in the bathtub or the shower.
Energising Radiance Mask
Our Energising Radiance Mask has been developed as an overnight treatment mask to give the skin an extra hydration boost. You can use it as a normal mask twice a week and leave it on your skin for 15 minutes. If your skin is dry and needs extra moisture, then this is the mask for the job.
The perfect combination
The combination of the ingredients in our masks plus the shower steam will leave your skin feeling clean and supple. It’s important to follow with a good moisturiser and if you are about to head out for the day, remember to apply your sunscreen.
Do facial masks improve the quality of your skin?
Yes they do. Face masks have many benefits for the skin. They refine the pores by deeply cleansing the skin, they infuse the skin with moisture, and they remove skin impurities. Not only will you enjoy using Kosmea’s luscious and natural facial masks, but you will also see and feel the difference in your skin in two weeks.

What’s the best way to introduce a facial mask in my skincare routine?
We suggest starting with twice a week. Always start by cleansing your face so that your skin is clean and surface impurities have been removed before you apply the mask. The mask can then penetrate the skin layers more effectively to do its work.
Adjusting to face masks
Once you’ve accustomed your skin to face masks, you can use them more often. Kosmea’s facial masks have been developed for more regular use. They are gentle on the skin but effective and removing impurities in the deeper layers.
Give your skin a boost whilst you sleep
For example, the energising radiance mask can be left overnight a couple of times a week for an extra skin boost, and the reveal your glow mask can be used daily.
What is your skin type?
We’ve created skincare routines for all skin types which you can find here.
Should I moisturise after a facial mask?
Yes. In fact, it is the perfect time to moisturise because your skin is damp and supple and will absorb the moisturiser much more easily.
What our customers say:
“Loved the old Daily Facial Exfoliant and now I apply this product a bit thicker onto my face and leave it on for my whole shower. Gives me such baby soft skin when I wash it off at the end. Don’t ever stop making this product”
