There are obviously thousands of commercial masks out there, but unless you buy an organic brand which tends to be expensive, you are putting a ton of chemicals and toxins on your skin, which in turn are absorbed by your body. Ever heard of endocrine disrupters? Well, endocrine disruptors are chemicals that may interfere with the body’s endocrine system and produce adverse developmental, reproductive, neurological, and immune effects in humans. So, in conclusion, we should avoid them at all cost, meaning avoiding non organic beauty products as well.
