    Can I use the face mask over and over again?
    Happy Inspiration
    Community Answer
    Yes. If you find a particular face mask that works best for you, you can use it daily or more often to help acne and other facial impurities. Be sure not to over-do it though otherwise, that can be just as bad as not doing it enough. Limit to doing the mask once every 1 to 2 days. However, it can also be good to find multiple face masks that work to keep a variety and not always do the same one. Find a match based on your skin type.
