The great mask mixing debate of 2023 is still haunting me
For years, I would just slap on a clay mask and call it a day, no matter the client's skin. Last fall, a regular with combo skin came in and I did my usual thing. Her cheeks got so red and tight she asked if I'd used acid. I switched to mixing a little hydrating gel mask with the clay for the dry zones. Now I do a two-part mask on almost everyone. Anyone else mix their masks like this, or am I just overcomplicating things?

What kind of gel mask do you mix in?

Oh, so we're doing mask chemistry now.

Lmao right?? Like girl what kind of mad scientist experiment are we running in our bathrooms?? I swear if I see one more person mixing activated charcoal with yogurt and calling it a "detox mask" I'm gonna lose it. My sister tried that bentonite clay + apple cider vinegar thing and her face turned red for two days. Just stick with a $5 sheet mask from the drugstore and call it a day, no chemistry degree required.
