How to Use Powder Face Masks
It is important to use face masks to treat a variety of skin issues since they provide your skin with the best ingredients. FORE Essentials focuses exclusively on powder face mask powders as they are amazing for the skin, last much longer than regular masks, and have no adverse effects.
Here are a few types on getting you started:
Step 1: Wash your face
Facial masks work best on freshly washed skin. Use a gentle cleanser to wash your skin (our Gel Cleanser is our go to to wash our faces).
Without cleansing your face, the makeup, dirt, and other impurities accumulated on your skin will be trapped by your mask and may be forced deeper into your pores. In addition, a layer of grime makes it harder for active ingredients to reach the skin.
Step 2: Choose your mask
If you’re looking for a brightening and uplifting mask treatment, the Glow Skin Mask is the one for you. French green clay draws out excess oil and impurities, while Alaskan kelp and peppermint soften, nourish, and refresh your skin. This face mask is made of Kaolin clay, coconut milk powder, Aloe vera powder, and Spirulina powder. Adding Kaolin Clay will give your skin a silky feel, while coconut milk powder will provide the Vitamin B and Vitamin C that your skin needs. This all helps to avoid dark spots while improving skin dullness as it brightens the skin to create an outstanding glow.

There are a variety of liquids you can chose when making your face mask. Adding warm water is the simplest way to do it, and in fact, it is very beneficial for oily skin to create an oil-absorbing mask. However, there are many other ways that can help spice up the routine and target your skin needs even better!
- Do you have extra dry skin? In your mask, mix a teaspoon of honey with a few drops of warm water. Natural humectants like honey keep your skin feeling moisturized and dewy by drawing moisture to it.
- Do you have dull or flaky skin? Add a teaspoon or so of yogurt to your mask. Natural lactic acids in yogurt and its low pH provide a gentle exfoliating boost to your mask.
Many lightweight oils can also be extremely beneficial for masks aimed at moisturizing dry skin.
Whichever liquid you choose, start by slowly adding just a few drops at a time until you reach a thick mud-like consistency. By doing so, you can easily smooth it over your skin without worrying that it will drip off.
