Building a Smart Routine Around Your Face Mask

Face Mask Rituals for Real Life That Guide You to Smarter Skincare

Face and body masks have made a big comeback in 2025, but perhaps not how you remember them. A mask isn’t just for casual monthly skincare anymore. The modern skincare routine is flexible, responsive, and built around what your skin actually needs, not what a viral trend says you should be doing. You might be dealing with dryness, oiliness, or dullness, so incorporating a face mask into your beauty regimen is a great solution. The key is finding the right one and using it in a way that supports rather than overwhelms your skin.

At Borghese, we are passionate about showing you how to build an easy rhythm with your skincare, and it can start with a luxury face mask. We’ll show you how to choose the right mask for your skin type and how to support its effects with good habits like hydration, rest, and lifestyle balance. Read on!

Building a Smart Routine Around Your Face Mask

If your face mask is in the back of your cupboard waiting for a spa night, it’s time to rethink the ritual. A good mask doesn’t need to be reserved for rare moments of self-care. It can become part of your weekly cycle, working alongside your cleanser, moisturiser, and lifestyle choices to keep your skin balanced and glowing. If you’ve been researching the best approach to skincare, we can offer some insights into the basics that skin generally needs, and how your hydrating face mask can play a role:

Twice Daily (Morning and Night):
   • Use a gentle cleanser to remove buildup, makeup, or oil. Some people double-cleanse to ensure their skin is truly clean.
   • Using an alcohol-free toner or mist to prep the skin is a step many prefer, but this is optional.
   • Finish with a revitalising moisturiser suited to your skin type.

Once a Day:
   • Do a daily check-in with your skin. Look for signs of dryness, oiliness and congestion, or dullness. In this way, you can assess its needs for the day.
   • Always use a broad-spectrum SPF formulation in the morning after cleansing and moisturising, even if you aren’t spending time in direct sunlight.
   • Add a targeted serum or booster depending on your skin’s specific needs. Some serums must be applied in the morning, while others must be used at night for best results.

Weekly:
   • Use a targeted face mask to reset your skin. This is where the Borghese Fango range is the perfect option. Think of it as a weekly tune-up that keeps your skin in sync with your lifestyle.

Which Face Mask Fits You Best? Here’s How to Ask Your Skin

Did you know that your skin speaks? You just need to know what to listen for. Instead of picking a face mask based on what’s trending, choose one that matches what your skin is asking for today. These three questions can help you determine which Borghese mask is best for you:

1.Does your skin feel oily, congested, or uneven in texture?
   • You might need a detoxifying mask that draws out impurities, balances excess oil, and refines skin texture.
   • Try: The Advanced Fango Active Mud for Face & Body.

2.Does your skin feel dry, sensitive, or reactive?
   • If your skin often gets red, tight, or itchy, you’ll benefit from a gentler face and body mask that soothes and supports the skin barrier.
   • Try: The Advanced Fango Delicato Mud for Delicate Dry Skin.

3.Is your skin dull, dehydrated, or lacking a healthy glow?
   • When your skin feels flat or looks tired, it’s often a sign of dehydration or environmental stress. You’ll want a hydrating face mask that restores radiance and plumps up the skin.
   • Try: The Radiante Revitalizing Mask

Bringing the Italian Spa Experience Home with Borghese

The best time to use a face mask is whenever your skin needs the extra support. That could be once a week or more often if your skin is going through a rough patch. The Borghese collection is flexible enough to meet you where you are. Here’s when to use your Borghese face and body mask:

• Advanced Fango Active Mud for Face & Body: Use this mask once or twice a week, or when your skin feels oily, textured, congested, or out of balance. Apply a generous layer to clean, dry skin (face or body). Leave on for two to five minutes before rinsing with warm water. Follow with a toner and moisturiser.

Pro tip: Use this formulation on your T-zone while applying the Advanced Fango Delicato Mud Mask to drier areas. This is called multi-masking, and it’s ideal for combination skin.

• Advanced Fango Delicato Mud for Delicate Dry Skin: Use this mask when your skin feels dry, flaky, or overly sensitive. Simply smooth a light layer over clean, dry skin. Let it sit for two to five minutes. You don’t need to wait for it to dry completely. Rinse gently with lukewarm water or a soft cloth. You can use it once or twice weekly as a skin reset, especially in cold or windy weather.

• Radiante Revitalizing Mask: Use this mask when your skin feels tired, dull, or dehydrated. It’s a superb formulation to use before important events to restore that vibrant inner glow. Apply a thin, even layer to clean skin. Leave on for five to 10 minutes and rinse off with warm water. You can then follow with your favourite moisturiser for a lasting glow.

Beauty Begins Beneath the Surface

A face and body mask works best when it’s supported by rest, exercise, hydration, and mindful nourishment. Always ensure to drink enough water, eat skin-loving foods like healthy fats and greens, and aim for enough restful sleep to let your skin repair overnight. At Borghese, our philosophy is that skincare should be both luxurious and rooted in well-being. Remember, your beauty regimen is most powerful when it fits seamlessly into your lifestyle. Each Borghese formula is designed to meet your skin where it is right now, so why not try one today?
