Masking will enhance the penetration of treatment serums, creams and moisturizing agents as well as prolong the effects of monthly facials.
Treatment masks feed and hydrate the skin while activating its self cleaning mechanism. A properly applied treatment mask should totally cover the skin preventing any exchange between the skin and the environment.
Closing off the skin from the outside environment creates an occlusion. A good and proper occlusive mask causes increased blood flow to the area adding oxygen to the skin while carrying away impurities and taking in the nutrients and hydration from the mask.
Masking is the fastest way to bring hydration into the skin, will help clear breakouts and leave the skin smooth, clear and bright. For most people masking should be done once or twice a week and works best when preceded by a light and creamy cleansing scrub containing smooth beads to exfoliate and polish the skin opening the skin to receive the benefits of the mask.
Every day twice a day – cleanse and tone
Every week once a week – cleanse, tone, exfoliate and mask
