Sometimes your daily routine isn’t enough to tackle all of your skin’s needs. That’s where masks and peels come in. These treatments deliver a concentrated boost, helping you target specific concerns quickly and effectively.
Masks and peels don’t just give short-term benefits. With regular use, they can also improve long-term skin health — strengthening your barrier, brightening your tone, or boosting collagen for firmer skin.
What Masks Do for the Skin
Masks are designed to sit on your skin for a longer period, allowing ingredients to deeply hydrate, calm, or purify. Hydrating masks can instantly plump dry, tired skin, while soothing masks calm redness and irritation. Clay or detox masks draw out oil and impurities, leaving the skin fresh and balanced.
Overnight masks are especially effective, locking in hydration and letting your skin recover while you sleep. They’re a great way to wake up with a healthier glow.
What Peels Do for the Skin
Peels work differently than masks. Instead of sitting on top, they use gentle exfoliating acids to help your skin shed dead cells and reveal a smoother surface. This makes peels excellent for brightening dull skin, reducing fine lines, fading dark spots, and keeping pores clear.
At-home peels are made to be safe and effective without the intensity of in-office procedures. They give you visible results while still being gentle enough for regular use when applied correctly.
Choosing the Right Mask or Peel
The best choice depends on your skin’s needs. If you’re feeling dry, go for a hydrating or overnight mask. If breakouts or oil are your main concern, a purifying clay mask or peel with pore-clearing ingredients will help. For dullness or uneven tone, brightening masks and gentle exfoliating peels are great options.
It’s not about using everything at once. Adding one or two masks or peels into your weekly routine can make a big difference without overwhelming your skin.
Masks & Peels in Your Routine
Most people use masks or peels one to three times per week, depending on their skin type and the product’s strength. The key is balance: strong exfoliating peels should be alternated with soothing or hydrating masks so your skin always feels supported.
When used consistently, masks and peels can become the “extra step” that keeps your skin looking clear, radiant, and refreshed.
