Including a facial mask as part of your weekly skin care routine can help deep clean, moisturize and refresh your face and neck. Although specific ingredients for different types of facial masks depend on factors such as your skin type and purpose, most use ingredients you already have at home. You may choose to create a homemade facial mask because the ingredients are readily available and the process of making a facial mask is easy.
