With summer here, there is no time like NOW to begin the practice of masking to give your skin that extra ‘oomph’ of hydration and radiance that it needs with the warm weather and sunshine.
Sure, it takes a bit of an effort on your part, but if you just try it once, I guarantee that you’ll convert. You will see that an effort of just 30 minutes/ week (15-minute sessions, 2 times a week) can make ALL the difference in the world for your skin, especially if you mask on a regular basis.
Biocellulose Sheet Mask vs. Paper Sheet Mask
Any mask– mud, cream, hydrating– can revitalize your skin, but for those of you who are more limited on time (or just lazy!), I highly recommend sheet masks. Sheet masks and its usage, are all the rage in Asia, and has been a trend for many years already, but it is still a new concept in the US market. It is essentially a sheet of paper, woven cotton, or gel-masks are now created, cuz out in the shape of your face, with holes punched out for your eyes, nose and mouth. Personally, I prefer a new generation of sheet masks made with the material called ‘biocellulose’ that molds to the shape of your face, and has a much more effective delivery system.
These masks save you the messiness of mud masks, but delivers the same results. Each are one-time use, and the steps are as follows:
Step 1: Take mask out of package.
Step 2: Place mask on your face.
Step 3: Leave on for 15-20 minutes.
Step 4: Dispose mask– no need to wash anything off.
That’s it. Do you STILL think you don’t have time for this? Come on… it can’t get easier than this. And another reason to convert? Pamper yourself. Can you argue with that? Just think about the money (and time) you’ll save in giving yourself a mini spa session at home instead of going into a spa. Give it a try, and post us a message to let us know what you think!
TIPS: Double up the results, and mask after a quick exfoliation with a gentle gel exfoliator like Restoration Clear Gel, and you’ll see even BETTER results. Don’t know where to purchase sheet masks? Google it, or email us, I can send recommendations. Or, if you’re already a Marie Louise fan, you can also use our Creme a-VC as a mask by applying a thin layer all over your face, leaving it on for about 15-20 minutes, and then massaging the product in.
