Important Reasons to Use a Facial Mask

Dear Janice,

I wash my face regularly, do I really need to use a facial mask?

Regular cleansing will remove surface dirt and grime, but only a facial mask will actually draw out impurities from beneath the top layers of the epidermis. Masking helps exfoliate dead skin cells and unclog pores so your toning, hydrating and protecting products work more effectively. Masks also help stimulate blood circulation and leave your skin feeling smoother and softer.

What about those pore strips? Drugstore pore strips rely on an adhesive to cling to embedded impurities. The problem is, when you remove the strip from you face, you also remove the layer of skin beneath the strip and create an overall uneven skin surface. But, unlike harsh pore strips which tear and rip at the skin's surface, Noevir masks are a gentle form of exfoliation that helps create a smooth, even surface and restore your skin's natural radiance.

How often should I use a mask? Apply your favorite Noevir mask after cleansing, but before toning. Ultimate Hydrating Peel-Off Masque should be used 1-2 times per week if you have dry skin, 2-3 times per week if your skin is normal. Clay Masque is most effective used 2-3 times per week on combination skin, 3-5 times per week on oily skin. Quick Recovery Mask can be used 2-3 times a week in place of the final cleansing step of your regular skincare regimen. Noevir's Circu Night DN-Aqua is used after the last step of your p.m. skincare regimen.

TIP: Before applying any mask, dab a small amount of Noevir Eye Treatment Gel around eyes to protect this delicate area from dehydration.

Testimonial from a Hydrating Peel-Off Masque user:

I used the Peel Off Masque last night. My skin was lighter and brighter after just one use. I LOVE this product!!!!

The Benefits of Night Skin Cream

Dear Janice,

Why is it necessary to load up on the products at night?

Science has shown that skin is in fact far more receptive to treatment while the body is at rest. When not expending energy fending off environmental aggressors - sun, wind, pollution - skin enters it ideal repair state. Studies have shown that wounds heal faster while you sleep. Your body ultimately goes into recovery. You are indoors and it is dark. Your cells are not in overdrive producing antioxidants to fight free radicals. Instead they are producing collagen and repairing DNA. Any topical active ingredient with repair benefits like Noevir becomes more efficient when the body is at rest.

In a recent study, it was found that skin loses moisture at night - between the hours of 1:00 and 3:00 a.m. - which makes it not only in need of extra hydration but also more receptive to absorbing ingredients.

Stress caused by sleep deprivation disrupted the skin's ability to retain moisture and prevent outside pollutants from entering.

According to a study conducted in Tochigi, Japan, wrinkles (which are affected by facial movement) deepen as the day carries on - making fighting them at night all the more important.

Aside from the fact that skin is more receptive to treatment while the body is resting, many efficacious ingredients work best at night when not exposed to UV light.

Winter Masks and Exfoliation: What's The Best Treatment for Your Skin

Dear Janice,

Do I still need to mask in the winter? Won't it dry out my skin even more?

During the chilly months of winter, vulnerable skin needs extra special care to stay healthy and protected. Fortunately, there is one simple step that's easily incorporated into any busy lifestyle - without it, no proper skin care regimen is complete.

Gentle exfoliation not only helps undo sun damage that can add years to your complexion, but also makes the most of special treatments and moisturizers, maximizing their performance to help nourish and protect.

Noevir Quick Recovery Mask uses beta hydroxy acid to gently dissolve buildup and unclog pores, while smooth natural polishing beads slough off dead skin and impurities. Soothing licorice extract and fragrant eucalyptus oil further help de-stress and review tired skin.

Usage Tips:
Use Quick Recovery Mask two or three times a week in place of your regular foaming cleanser and maintain a smoother, brighter complexion with increased moisture retention all season long!
