After a long day or a big night, there’s nothing quite like popping on a mask, sitting back with a book and relaxing, while the goodness of your mask of choice gets to work pampering your skin. Of course, sometimes choosing a mask can be a little difficult due to your skin type. I mean, it’s one thing to put on a hydrating mask, but what if it causes the oily spots on your face to go into overdrive? Or what if you put on a clay mask to deal to those oily spots, only to dry out your drier spots further. DILEMMA! Well, not anymore, because multi-masking is a thing, and it’s the perfect way to treat every single square centimetre of your face.

So what is multi-masking? In a nutshell it involves applying different kinds of masks to different areas of your face. So if you had an oily t-zone, you’d apply a mask designed to work with that area. Then if your forehead or cheeks were dry, you’d apply a hydrating mask onto those areas. Oh, and you can spot mask those pimple-prone areas too.

Whether your mask of choice is a peel off, cream, clay or a mixture, they can all be employed to create a masking experience that’s designed for your specific skin type. 

Check out this multi-masking from lboogieebeauty. We love that she’s got a forehead mask going on, and she’s taking care of her lips as well!

If you want to get a little fancy, you can even highlight and contour with a multi-mask. The highlight portions of the mask are designed to leave you glowing, while the contour areas are designed to tighten your skin. Check out this Instagram post from farahdhukai to find out how.

So what say you our beauties, are you down with multi-masking? Will you be slathering or applying a multitude of masks to get skin that gleams and glows? Have you already tried multi-masking? Don’t be shy, share your experience!
