Frequently Asked Questions
-
Build it around one or two treatments a week, choosing the pack or mask by what your skin needs that week rather than by habit. A simple, effective rhythm:
- Congested week: a clay pack to deep-clean.
- Dry or tired week: a hydrating or nourishing mask.
- Before an event: a brightening turmeric or saffron pack.
Always cleanse first and moisturise after.
-
Yes, multi-masking, using different masks for different needs, is both practical and traditional, as long as the total stays gentle. You might use a clay pack once and a hydrating mask once in the same week, or even apply clay on an oily T-zone and a nourishing mask on dry cheeks at the same time. The rule is balance: two gentle treatments a week, never daily, with the skin left comfortable each time.
-
In Indian usage a "face pack" is the traditional rinse-off paste of clays, herbs, and flours, while a "face mask" is the broader modern term covering clay, cream, gel, and sheet formats alike, so every pack is a mask but not every mask is a pack. Both deliver concentrated weekly care. Choose by what the formula does, cleanse, hydrate, brighten, or soothe, rather than by which word is on the label.
-
Masks come after cleansing and before your serum and moisturiser.
- Cleanse thoroughly to bare the skin.
- Optionally exfoliate lightly so the mask works better (not both harsh steps together).
- Apply the mask, wait, and rinse.
- Tone, then layer serum and moisturiser while skin is damp.
Masking on clean skin and sealing with moisture afterwards gets the most from each treatment.
-
Oily skin loves absorbing, clarifying masks; dry skin loves nourishing, hydrating ones.
- Oily/Kapha: multani mitti, clay, and neem packs to lift oil.
- Dry/Vata: honey, almond, and cream masks to feed the skin.
- Combination: multi-mask, clay on the T-zone, nourishing elsewhere.
- Sensitive/Pitta: cooling sandalwood, aloe, and rose for either.
-
They can, as a convenient hydrating step, though they are a modern format rather than a traditional one; the herbal essence soaked into a good sheet mask delivers a quick moisture boost with no mess. Look for sheets infused with familiar botanicals like aloe, rose, or saffron, and avoid those heavy with synthetic fragrance. For deep cleansing or brightening, the classic clay and herb packs still do more; sheets shine for fast, on-the-go hydration.
-
Do your mask the evening before, not an hour before, so the skin has time to settle and any temporary redness or sensitivity fades. A hydrating or brightening mask the night before leaves skin fresh and glowing for the day. Never try a brand-new mask just before an important occasion, patch test new products a week ahead. Last-minute, the safest pre-event step is gentle hydration, not a fresh experiment.
