- Apply the mask only on thoroughly cleansed skin.
- Korean women point out that after cleansing, you should use a lotion or tonic to improve the penetration of the ingredients. Apply a serum before the alginate mask.
- Follow the massage lines from the chin up.
- Remove your hair and cover it with a bandage as it will be more difficult to wash/remove the mask from it.
- The face mask is not suitable for the skin around the eyes and lips!
- You can use your fingers, but a brush is more convenient. Cream or gel masks should be applied with a brush with thick synthetic hairs, alginate masks with a wooden spatula. A silicone brush is universal, it does not absorb particles of the mask, is easy to clean and economical in use.
- Do not keep the mask longer than necessary. The average duration of action is 15-30 minutes.
- During this time, it is better to rest - masks work more efficiently in a calm state.
- Rinse with warm (preferably boiled) water, use a sponge for relief. Korean women, by the way, love the natural konnyaku sponge, with which you can conveniently wash off the mask or simply wash your face.
- At the same time, you should avoid detergents, as they wash away all the useful particles of the mask on the surface.
- After a tissue or hydrogel mask, you do not need to wash - it is better to "beat" the rest of the emulsion into the skin.
- Reinforce the result with a cream or gel to "seal" the moisture and beneficial elements.
