So, What Is Multi-Masking Trend?
In this article, we wanted to let our readers know all about the recent Multi-masking trend. If you asked someone who is relatively of out touch with recent trends, they would have to tell you that, by the English dictionary, there is only one word that sounds some-what similar which is multitasking, which means the ability to execute more than one task at a given time. Multitasking essentially has the same meaning but is all about using different facial masks depending on the facial area it is being applied to. Not everyone has a uniform skin type all over the face. For example, our T-zone is oilier than others and prone to acne, redness and break-outs easily whereas the cheeks could do with some extra moisturization. No single face mask cannot address to all your skin needs and issues. This is where Multi-masking comes into play.

The Art Of Multi Masking:
When you are considering Multi-masking it is imperative that you know how to choose your masks. To make the choice easier, you need to first identify the problem that you generally face and then pick a mask accordingly. Read on to find out more about your facial divisions and needs for each skin division.
The T-zone: The T-zone is the zone that starts from your forehead area, just above the eyebrows and continues down the bridge of the nose to cover the entire nose and its immediate skin area. These tend to get oilier and more prone to breakouts than the rest of the face. A clarifying mask or Clay masks work great for these areas. In other words, you will need a mask that will remove the excess oil and control the sebum here in this area. If you have a lot of blackheads, you could also use Blackhead removal strips widely available in the market today.

Luscious Lips: Like the eyes, the lips also need some extra special care. Apart from lip balms and moisturizing lipsticks, you could use, widely available rejuvenating lip masks.
Cheeks: Your cheek bones peaking a little above the rest of your face and your upper forehead are exposed to the sun more and therefore, tend to get more tanned compare to the rest of your face. If unchecked this can lead to hyperpigmentation. You can use a skin brightening mask for these areas.
