Dr Manjot Marwah: Choosing a face mask for glowing skin requires understanding your skin type to avoid irritation or dryness. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr Manjot Marwah, dermatologist consultant at LHR Clinics, explains the right mask can cleanse, hydrate, and refresh your skin. The best face masks for every skin type include specific ingredients for optimal results.
For oily skin, Dr Marwah recommends clay or charcoal masks like Esthemax Purified Charcoal Face Mask, which absorb excess oil and unclog pores. Dry skin benefits from hydrating masks with hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, honey, or glycerine to moisturize and soften. Sensitive skin needs gentle, fragrance-free options with oatmeal, aloe vera, or chamomile, but consult a doctor first.
Acne-prone skin can use masks with salicylic acid, clay, or tea tree oil to reduce oil and clear pores, avoiding harsh scrubbing to prevent inflammation. Normal skin thrives with hydrating or antioxidant-rich masks containing vitamin C or fruit extracts. Remember to cleanse before applying, follow time recommendations like 20 minutes, and moisturize after removal.
Discontinue use if redness, irritation, or burning occurs, and consult a dermatologist, especially for conditions like severe acne or eczema. With over 10 years of experience, Dr Marwah stresses that choosing according to your skin type ensures the best results. This guide helps you find the perfect mask for a healthy, glowing complexion.
