sun mask for face - #13125

Vikram

I am super confused about this whole sun mask for face thing. Lately, I've been hearing everyone talk about sun masks, and I thought they were just like, a fancy skincare trend or something. But after my last vacation, I'm starting to think I might actually need one. I was at the beach, no big deal, just relaxing, but when I got back, wow, my face was sooo sunburnt! Like, red as a lobster kinda burnt. I mean, I thought I applied enough sunscreen, but guess that wasn't the case. So now I’m worried about my skin and what it goes through in the sun. I read that a sun mask for face can help repair sun damage or even protect from future stuff? Sounds a bit too good to be true maybe? I’ve seen some that say they can soothe sunburn or hydrate skin after a day outside, which honestly sounds great right now. Has anyone here used a sun mask for face after getting burnt? Did it really help, or is it just a marketing thing? And like, should I start using a sun mask for face even when I don’t have sunburn or just stick to sunscreen? I’m kinda lost here and could really use some advice!
