You don’t need to spend a fortune on face masks to get great results. To get summer ready, Yes To has just the right mask to get your skin looking clean, healthy and fresh.

Now that summer is kicking in, you’re probably ready to strip away all of the bad winter effects on your skin. Just like I love to get a good body scrub to kick things off, I like to start a new and fresh skincare routine. (Remember, your winter skincare is normally heavier than in the warmer months.)

To lighten things up, I love a good face mask. Some can be pricey. And, to be honest, although I’ve tried many super expensive and mid-level priced brands of masks, muds and sheet masks, price doesn’t seem to matter as long as the ingredients are as healthy as can be.

If you’re on a budget, Yes To brand has a bunch of masks that will do the trick. They’re free from parabens and silicones and are 95% more natural than leading brands.

Mud Masks vs. Sheet Masks

These face masks come in two different forms: mud and sheet. It really depends on your skin needs. Sheet masks are serum-soaked paper masks. When you use a sheet mask, you’re essentially placing a barrier over your face to lock in the serums into your skin. This allows your skin time to absorb all of the hydration and nutrients in your mask. They’re also easier and quicker to apply and are hassle-free. You just place it on, wait the required amount of time, peel and blend in the remaining serum into your skin. And, voila! Instant benefits.

Do you have a bit more time? On Sundays, I like to take a bit more time with my face care with a mud or clay type mask. These traditional-type masks (especially those which are clay-based) are more focused towards deep cleansing and exfoliation. These face masks, help to clean out pores, get rid of toxins and draw out impurities.

So while sheet masks help you to soak in nutrients, mud or clay masks help to draw out impurities, leaving your face clean and read to moisturize.
