How to use
Wash your face thoroughly before applying the gel mask. To do this, you need to use special means for washing, and then treat the skin with a tonic. Then we start applying the product.
A gel mask is applied with a brush in the direction of the massage lines. The eyelid area should be avoided as the skin there is very sensitive.
One of the most important points is the adoption of a horizontal posture after application. This is due to the fact that when you lie down, the contour of the face is clearer, wrinkles are better smoothed out. When you walk with the applied mask, the skin under its weight is pulled back, the epidermis is deformed. Such imposition of a mask can provoke the formation of jowls.
The mask should be kept on the face for 5-20 minutes, then rinse off. Time depends on the brand and components included in the product. It is better to wash off the product with boiled water, since such a liquid contains a minimum amount of impurities that can adversely affect the condition of the dermis.
Apply the mask no more than 2-3 times a week. With limited time, you can carry out this procedure once a week. After you notice that the product has reduced its effectiveness, it is recommended to temporarily change the mask.Moreover, it is necessary to change not the manufacturer, but the components that are included in this composition.
