Chances are you already know to use primer before applying makeup, but did you know that you should be priming your skin before using a face mask? Yes, it’s true! If you want to reap the full benefits of that face mask, primer is an absolute essential first step.

Here’s why: prepping your skin beforehand enhances your mask experience. Not only will a mask primer optimize the condition of your skin before apply a mask, but it also allows your skin to soak up more of those good-for-you nutrients in the mask. What’s more is that using a mask primer will ensure your mask spreads smoothly and evenly over your skin and rinses clean off once your treatment is complete.

Now that you know you should be using a mask primer, you’re probably looking for a recommendation, right? I’ve got you! My favorite mask primer is Origin’s Maskimizer. Snag a bottle below, then plan your next at-home spa night.
