If you’re washing your face nightly, exfoliating weekly, using your serums and moisturising every time you're supposed to, bravo! You have been taking great care of your skin. What’s an easy way to take your skin to the next level of flawless? Masks! They take a little more time than usual but here is a secret way to skip the waiting around time and still get the best results if not better ones. Wear your mask all day or all night.

Before you dust off all those masks you bought, be aware you can’t do this with just any mask. Most masks are timed for a reason. For example, if it’s a drying mask that unclogs your pores, you only want to leave this on the suggested time otherwise your face will be super dry. Also, some masks contain ingredients like hydrogen peroxide and you definitely don’t want to leave that on overnight. Read the ingredients and if you still aren’t sure ask your dermatologist.
