How to apply correctly your face mask

Face masks are an easy and inexpensive way to treat your skin gently and pamper yourself! Choosing the right face mask for your skin to accomplish many different benefits is the one big part but applying it correctly on your skin is also important.
You may now  be wondering....
What should we keep in mind when we offer ourselves a facial mask treatment? How can we have a healthy glowing skin with just a little effort and time?

​
​PREPARATION: Cleanse your skin thoroughly, removing all traces of makeup from the face and neck. The skin needs to be clean or else the mask will not be able to penetrate through the grime, dirt and makeup.

​TIMING: The best time to apply your mask is after a shower or bath. Alternatively, warm up the pores by doing a quick 5 minute steam facial. Pour boiling water into a bowl and lean over the bowl while keeping your head and bowl covered with a towel to trap the steam. Another way is to take a warm-hot face cloth and apply to face pressing in.

​FACE MASK APPLY: Pop your mask into a bowl. You may apply the mask with either your fingers or a face mask brush. There are different brushes depending on whether you are applying a clay mask, cream mask or a gel mask.

​Start applying the mask on the neck and work up onto the face trying to get an even application. Apply around the hairline, avoiding the eye area, eyebrows and lips. When you are finished, wash your hands and just relax for the recommended time. Enjoy your home spa!

TIP: If you have some cucumber slices chill with a couple of slices on your eyes. Cucumbers are soothing and cooling and will add hydration whilst reducing any puffiness around the eye.

​FACE MASK REMOVAL: You can use a face cloth, face sponge or your fingers and remove by making circular sweeping movements over the face and neck. Finish with the splash of warm water and then cold.
