Raise your hand if you love multimasking! If your hand is up, chances are you know how beneficial it is to use multiple masks at the same time for your complexion. Speaking of multiple masks, we recently came across the next best thing and it's called mask overeating. So what exactly does overeating mask? Similar to multimasking, mask overeating is a skincare technique that uses multiple different facial masks to address specific concerns, including dry skin, excess sebum, dullness, and more. But instead of using these masks at the same time - in the traditional patchwork way of multi-masking - you use them close to each other, so each mask will affect the entire complexion, and not just one small area. Want to know more? Keep reading to find out how to cover up overeating, a few different mask combinations to try, and more!

HOW TO UNDERSTAND THE MASK

Before we get into our step-by-step guide to masking overeating, let's discuss some of the little details that will help you get the most out of your experience. First of all, when we think of mask overeating, we think of our entire collection of face masks, and—surprise, surprise—there are a lot of them. However, it is not. Overeating masks requires the use of just three face masks that are designed to address the issues associated with your skin type. For example: If you have dry skin and are experiencing dead skin buildup, dullness, and moisture loss, you should use an exfoliating mask, another mask that removes the dullness, and another mask that removes the dullness. replenish your complexion with hydration. Makes sense, right? Now let's move on to choosing a mask.

Before you dive head first into your face mask collection, grab a piece of paper and write down your main concerns. When you've completed your list, pick three main concerns that may be related to your skin type (see our example above). Once you have chosen your top three concerns, take a look at your collection of masks and select three masks designed to address each of your concerns. Now that you've collected your face masks, it's time for a drink!

To snack on face masks, start with a clean face and apply the first of three face masks. The first mask should be either an exfoliating mask or a charcoal mask or something else that will help deep cleanse the skin. It's important to use the free masks (offers below!) to get the most out of each one. Be sure to follow the instructions on each product label for proper mask removal, and then use mask number two. Repeat this process until you have used all three masks. Then follow the rest of your skin care routine... and don't forget to moisturize!
