Tricks & Tips

Sheet mask by La Mer

To obtain better results and get the best, we leave you with some essential tips. One of them is the preparation of the skin to receive the masks, it's important exfoliating first. This step can be done by one of the exfoliating masks, creating the perfect "blank canvas" for allows the skin absorbsall the ingredients of the mask that will follow up. If this is the case, we recommend that when using an exfoliating mask then do not use another astringent, as this is usually by itself. We recommend that you combine with exfoliation, purifying or astringent, a more moisturizing or even nutritious to balance.

Most of them should be applied 1 to 2 times a maximum per week. If you d"do not have time" to remove at the end, opt for overnight, that do not requiring their removal after a few minutes.

Another tip is put the mask on the freeze, especially those with decongestant eyes. Place it on the refrigerator door (unless the brand mentions that it should not be done) to take full advantage of its ingredients and decongestant effects. The cold feeling allows immediate relief of the eye area. You can replicate this effect by using massagers combined with the mask application.
