Mask & Peels

About

Skincare masks and peels are weekly exfoliating products that lift away the dull, dry layer of dead skin cells sitting on the surface, so skin feels smoother and looks fresher. A peeling mask or gel is massaged on and rinsed or rolled away, while a peel-off mask dries into a film you lift off. They sit outside your daily routine, used once or twice a week. For everyday hydration instead, see our The Face Shop sheet mask range. What Does a Peeling Mask Do? A peeling mask is about texture, not just cleansing. Dead cells build up faster when skin is dry, sun-exposed or under pollution, and that buildup can make your face look flat and feel rough. Exfoliating masks help loosen it, so moisturiser and serum sit on a smoother surface afterwards. Think of a skin peeling mask as a weekly reset. Because it works more intensively than a face wash, it is not a daily step, and skin should feel soft rather than raw after use. How to Choose an Exfoliating Face Mask Choose by what you want to fix. If dullness is the main concern, a gentle peeling gel or exfoliating face mask is the easiest start. If pores feel clogged and oily, look for a clarifying formula that clears buildup without over-drying. An exfoliating peel off mask suits anyone who likes a visible result, since the film lifts away surface dust and dryness as you remove it. A face dead skin remover mask with a softer, rinse-off texture is kinder to sensitive or easily flushed skin.

Using Masks and Peels in Your Routine Use a mask or peel once or twice a week on clean skin, and always follow the product's own timing. Skip other exfoliants that day, then follow with serum and moisturiser, and wear sunscreen the next morning, since freshly exfoliated skin is more exposed to UV. If your skin stings or turns red, rinse off and leave a longer gap before the next use. To compare exfoliating formats, read our guide on choosing a
