How to: Use a Mask Sheet

Hey Cuties! Have you ever been to a cosmetics shop and wonder what exactly is a face mask? 

Yes, it is exactly what you would picture it would be, a sheet that covers your face. Usually in a Korean cosmetics shop; they package these face masks. Usually every pack contains one mask with a unique solution. These mask are all one time use. And there's so many to choose from. Mask sheets range from moisture to hydration, brightening to anti-aging, and so on. 

These face masks are similar to going to the spa and getting a facial done, but are more like the DIY ones. Whenever you have time to relax, you can put on a face mask to help de-stress your skin. Here are the steps to use them properly:

STEP 1. Select a face mask that you would like to try or put on. It is better to wash your face first with your daily cleanser so you would have a clean and fresh face to put the mask on; this would help the mask penetrate your skin faster rather than putting it on without washing your face.

STEP 2. (Optional) This step is optional; you can use a toner or skin booster after you wash your face because if you're putting on the mask on at night. You could just incorporate the mask as a part of your skin care routine. If you don’t have a toner or skin booster, you can still put the face mask on. The toner is used to help the solution in the mask absorb into the skin better. 

STEP 3.  Open up your mask pack, inside you would find a mask shaped with holes for your eyes, nose, and mouth. Then place the mask accordingly. Check the how long you should leave the mask on your skin. This depends on the type of mask you have. You can usually find it on the back of the package. Make sure you time yourself. After putting on the face mask, you can take a little nap, watch TV, or go online doing your thing until time is up and let the mask do its magic!

STEP 4. TIMES UP! [DO NOT GO OVER THE RECOMMENDED TIME!] After you reach the allotted time for the mask sheet, remove it and throw it away. DO NOT WASH YOUR FACE AFTER! Let the solution soak into your skin. You could also pat and massage the solution into the face. This would also help your skin absorb better. WAH LAH! You are done! 

For best results, use the masks once or twice a week. Have fun with your face mask Cuties! ^3^
