The Amazing Benefits Of Organic Face Masks

For most of us, it can feel like we’re forever in search of the miracle skincare products that promise to deliver youthful, radiant skin and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. But while many products make bold claims, the results are often disappointing.

But don’t despair, as one way to improve your complexion and achieve healthier skin is with organic face masks. Here we discuss how they can help with your skin and why you should avoid conventional masks which can actually cause more harm than good!

Add Moisture To Your Skin

Your skin is your body’s biggest organ, and like all organs it needs hydration and nourishment. Without it, your skin can start to look tired and dull, with an uneven complexion. 

Organic masks are very often infused with nourishing ingredients like aloe vera and avocado, which work wonders on your skin and help to replenish moisture levels.

So regardless of whether you have dry or dehydrated skin (there’s a difference), a skin mask can help increase moisture levels and provide the nourishment your face needs.

Reduce Inflammation

Inflammation is guaranteed to diminish your skin’s appearance, causing redness, swelling and, in some cases, extreme discomfort. Inflammation can be caused by a variety of factors, from allergies to skin conditions to environmental factors.

Thankfully there are ways to reduce inflammation and using a face mask with anti-inflammatory ingredients such as lavender, green tea and chamomile is one of them. These can reduce the redness in your complexion by soothing irritated skin, which can be a real godsend for those with severe inflammation. 

Stimulate Circulation

Another incredible benefit of face masks is their ability to stimulate circulation in your skin. When you apply a mask and massage the ingredients into your skin, you're gently encouraging blood flow which increases circulation and promotes the delivery of essential nutrients to your cells.

Cleanse And Unclog Pores

Every day, our skin is exposed to the countless pollutants present in our environment which find their way into our pores. Blocked pores can cause blemishes, acne and other skin problems.

Organic face masks, particularly those featuring kaolin clay or activated charcoal, help draw out impurities and provide a deep cleanse for your pores, leaving your skin looking fresh and revitalised.

Reduce Fine Lines And Wrinkles

Father Time is undefeated so, sadly, sooner or later we all start to develop fine lines and wrinkles. But despite the fact these are perfectly normal and natural signs of ageing, most would rather delay them for as long as possible!

One way to do that is with a good-quality face mask that’s enriched with antioxidants, such as vitamin C, E, and organic oils. These have the remarkable ability to slow down the ageing process, reducing the appearance of lines and  leaving your skin looking fresh and youthful.

Avoid Reactions To Harsh Chemicals

When it comes to face masks, sadly not all are made equal. While some masks undoubtedly replenish your skin and help remove fine lines and wrinkles, others could actually have a negative effect.

Many conventional face masks contain a plethora of synthetic ingredients and harsh chemicals which can lead to adverse reactions,including  redness, irritation and even allergic responses. If you have sensitive skin then you’re especially at risk, but even those with normal skin could suffer a reaction.

Organic alternatives are usually suitable for all skin types as they’re free from the harsh and potentially disruptive ingredients found in regular masks. 

Why Organic Is Best

Most people know that products with the “organic” label  are better quality, but many aren’t actually sure why. In fact, many polls have found that people buying organic fruit and veg don’t know the difference between that and regular produce!

When it comes to skincare, organic means the ingredients used in natural products are grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides or genetically modified organisms. This means that your skin absorbs the goodness of those ingredients, without any traces of the harmful chemicals present in  non-organic. 

This helps to minimise the risk of skin irritation and allergic reactions, making organic face masks the safest choice for all skin types.

So that’s how organic masks can help the skin. As well as providing chemical, pesticide-free hydration, they can reduce fine lines and help you avoid adverse reactions some conventional masks can cause.
