4 tips to get the most out of your masks
For times when you are looking for intense hydration or feel that your skin has been going through more extreme conditions than normal (exposure to the sun, strong winds, dry weather) masks are the easiest way to give an immediate boost to your skin. Nourishing it in depth in a matter of minutes.
Remember that hydration gives volume to the skin, which helps reduce the appearance of expression lines and creates a protective barrier against bacteria in the environment.
The most common materials for masks are hydrogel, cotton or natural fibres. They come saturated with amino acids, vitamins, serums and rejuvenating essences that, being in direct contact with your skin, penetrate deeply since the material prevents the ingredients from evaporating before being absorbed. To get the most out of your face masks we recommend these 4 tips.
Although the main function of all masks is to hydrate, there are masks with special essences to attack skin types or specific problems. Here we leave you a list of the masks and their function according to their star ingredient.
| Main Ingredients | Problem / Skin type |
| Tea tree leaves | Controls the sebum of your skin to minimise imperfections |
| Green Tea | Fights free radicals restore softness and luminosity |
| Amino acids | Provides deep hydration, ideal for dry skin |
2. Use 20 minutes NO more
Face mask sheets form a kind of barrier that prevents ingredients from evaporating from your skin. If you let the mask dry too much, reverse osmosis can occur. This means that the ingredients can be absorbed from the skin into the mask. Remember to apply the mask on a clean face to absorb the nutrients.
The great thing about hydrogel masks is that reverse osmosis does not happen with them 😉
3. Do not rinse your face afterwards
The leftover formula can leave your skin a bit sticky, especially if it contains serums, but it’s meant to be absorbed into the skin to continue the benefits.
4. Take advantage of all the essence
Normally the masks come with extra essence, which stays in the bag when you remove the mask. To take advantage of this essence you can use it in other parts of your body such as the neck, chest, hands and even feet. Try massaging the serum until it is completely absorbed by your skin.
As we can see, there is a lot of power in such a small package, they are like a mini facial for your skin at a much more affordable price, and the best thing is that you can do it whenever and wherever you want.
