Complements to the daily routine, face masks and scrubs give skin more targeted care according to its needs. Exfoliation helps remove dead cells, refine skin texture, and revive radiance, while a mask provides a more intensive action. HUYGENS masks and scrubs combine botanical actives and ingredients of natural origin for softer, clearer, more luminous skin.
A scrub helps remove the dead cells present on the skin's surface. Used in moderation, it helps smooth skin texture and revive radiance, while preparing the skin to receive the products that follow.
What is the difference between a mask and a scrub?
A scrub works mainly through exfoliation to refine the skin's surface. A mask offers a more intensive, targeted action depending on its formula. The two steps are complementary but do not meet exactly the same goal.
How often should I exfoliate my face?
Frequency depends on the formula, the skin type and its tolerance. Exfoliation should not cause persistent discomfort. It is best to adopt a regular but reasonable rhythm and to follow the instructions specific to the product used. The HUYGENS Face Scrub is used once or twice a week.
Should I exfoliate my face in the morning or in the evening?
It is generally best to exfoliate your face in the evening, after cleansing. Exfoliation removes the dead cells accumulated on the skin's surface and leaves it ready to receive the products applied next, such as a mask, a serum or a cream. It can also temporarily make the skin more sensitive to external aggressors: the evening is therefore a particularly suitable time. The next morning, remember to apply sun protection, especially after using an exfoliating product containing acids.
Can masks and scrubs help a dull complexion?
Yes. The build-up of dead cells can contribute to a less luminous complexion. Gentle exfoliation helps smooth skin texture, while a suitable mask can complete the routine to restore fresher, brighter skin.
Should I do a face mask in the morning or in the evening?
Both are possible, but the evening is often the ideal time to add a mask to your routine. Applied to perfectly cleansed skin, it delivers a targeted response, whether hydration, nourishment, purification or radiance, before night-time products. Some masks can nonetheless be used in the morning for a freshness or radiance effect before the day. In any case, respect the indicated application time and follow with the products suited to your skin's needs.
