Drumroll please…..the most fantabulous face masks have arrived with the launch of Bellaboos' Face Fabulous Masks!

'Cos you probably have a gazillion questions …like, why do I need a mask? How do I know which one is good for my skin? What will it do for my skin? We've put together this handy little mask manual.

Why must I mask?
Think of it as a way of treating your skin. Sure, you're a good girl and follow the cleanse, exfoliate, moisturise mantra but you probably also have late nights, eat crap occasionally, maybe indulge in a little excess alcohol every now and then - in short, lead a normal girl existence. So, your skin needs that extra little something to bring it back to healthy. Your daily routine will get rid of surface dirt for sure but a mask will draw out the impurities that lie beneath. A mask will unclog pores, hydrate, and help stimulate blood circulation. That's why you must mask!

What will a mask do for me?
It will give you an intensive treat that should leave your skin feeling instantly smoother and soft as a baby's bottom - although not suggesting that your face will look like said bottom!

Because it's drawing out impurities and boosting circulation, it's helping your skin to be healthier and more radiant and, in the long term, helping it to retain its youthfulness. A mask is the bomb for your skin.

How often should I mask?
If you can, once a week is ideal. But, if you are a lazy beauty girl then try and fit it into your hectic schedule at least every fortnight. Your skin will thank you for it.

How do I know what mask to choose?
Aaaah, the beauty companies have made it tre easy by making their masks decipherable to even the most beauty-challenged gal. Most masks will tell you what their action is and why skin will benefit. You don't need to be a cosmetic chemist and have an encyclopaedic knowledge of ingredients to know which mask will be best for your skin.

Do I have to buy a mask or can I just make one up myself?
Well, if you have a serious amount of time on your hands which would enable you to purchase ingredients, whip them up at home once a week and then apply, then by all means yes. But, seriously, a girl can only fit so much into her day and think about it - the purpose of pampering is to pamper, not to whip yourself into a frenzy making masks.

But, in the interests of keeping the handy girls happy, we're given you some mask recipes to try for yourself at home at the end of this article. For the girls who want instant gratification….we give you Bellaboo Face Fabulous Masks and your guide to which is best for your skin care needs and the results you desire.
