From Cleopatra to Now: The Timeless Power of Face Masks

Face masks have been an essential part of skin care for thousands of years. From Cleopatra’s famous Dead Sea mud masks to modern Korean sheet masks, face masks have always played an important role in the beauty rituals of different cultures. Today, there are countless variations available, each designed to target specific skin concerns. Whether you opt for clay masks, hydrating masks, peel-off masks, or even DIY masks using ingredients from your kitchen, there is a mask that is perfect for your skin’s needs.

The History and Evolution of Face Masks
Face masks have a rich history that goes back thousands of years. Cleopatra, the famous Egyptian queen, was known for her elaborate beauty rituals, including the use of Dead Sea mud masks. These masks were prized for their mineral-rich composition and their ability to purify and rejuvenate the skin.
In Asia, especially Korea and Japan, face masks have played a central role in skin care. Korean sheet masks, infused with serum and hydrating ingredients, have gained popularity worldwide for their ease of use and effective results.


Why Face Masks Are Important

Face masks offer a concentrated treatment for a variety of skin concerns. Whether you have dry, oily, sensitive or acne-prone skin, there is a mask specifically designed to improve yours. Here are some popular types of face masks:
 Clay masks: Perfect for absorbing excess oil and unclogging pores.
 Hydrating masks: Ideal for adding moisture to dry skin.
 Peel-off masks: Helps remove dead skin cells and refine skin texture.
 DIY masks: Made with ingredients from your own kitchen, such as honey, avocado, and oatmeal.

The Rooibos Calming Face Mask
A face mask that should not be missing in this list is our Rooibos Calming Face Mask. This silky mask feels incredibly light on your skin. And because of its light texture, it is also ideal for unexpected moments, such as when the doorbell suddenly rings or when you are on a plane on the way to your travel destination.
The Rooibos Calming Face Mask offers a wonderful moment of pampering for your skin. With just 5-10 minutes of relaxation, you can let your skin benefit from the soothing and hydrating properties of rooibos, coconut oil, and shea and cocoa butter. Rinse the mask off with water and your skin will feel soft and hydrated. Use it once or twice a week, depending on the needs of your skin at that time. It is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and people with dry skin will especially appreciate it.

What's more, our Rooibos Calming Face Mask is 100% vegan and packaged in a recyclable sugar cane tube, making it an eco-friendly choice.


Tips for Using a Face Mask in Summer

During the summer months, your skin needs extra care due to exposure to the sun, heat and humidity. Here are some tips to get the most out of your face mask:

 Store the mask in the refrigerator: For an extra refreshing effect, you can store your face masks in the refrigerator.
 Use after sun exposure: After a day in the sun, apply a face mask to soothe and restore your skin.
 Regular application: Stick to a routine of using a face mask once a week to keep your skin in optimal condition.
