How to use jelly mask

Facial masks are becoming more and more popular among the public. They are also very convenient. You can do other things while applying a facial mask, such as playing with your phone or watching TV. The time for applying a facial mask is generally about 20 minutes. It is not good to exceed the time, and it is not enough to have less time. However, there are certain requirements for applying a facial mask. Some people apply the mask directly on their face, which is actually incorrect. So, what are the steps for using a jelly mask?

1. Materials needed: Simple ice crystal former (don’t buy the powdered kind, just buy the gel-like kind. You may buy the wrong powdered kind because some of them need to be neutralized and are relatively complicated to make)

2. Juice (can be cucumber juice or vegetable juice)

Production process: Just add 5%-20% of ice crystal former into the juice and stir for about five minutes until it becomes jelly-like. If it is too thin, you can add some ice crystal former.

This method can be used to make petal masks or something like that if you have essential oils or hyaluronic acid at home. You can add some of them, it is no worse than many other brands of facial masks out there.

There is also aloe vera gel. Aloe vera gel is the most effective for babies with burns and mothers with acne and inflammation. In fact, you can use this method to make aloe vera gel. Just buy some aloe vera extract and hydrosol on Taobao, mix the aloe vera extract and hydrosol, add ice crystal former, stir until it is formed, and you're done. In addition, it is recommended that mothers use as much as they need to avoid adding antibacterial agents. It is pure natural and can be used by pregnant mothers.

Steps: 1. Cleansing. This step is definitely necessary. First, wash your face as usual to remove some particles and dirt adhering to the surface of the skin.

2. To replenish moisture, spray a layer of moisturizing water or cream. This is for users with neutral/dry skin and helps open the skin pores.

3. Thick application [Key point] The jelly mask needs to be applied evenly and thickly, about the thickness of a coin. Many people here don't quite understand why there is the concept of thick application? This is because when the mask is applied thickly on the face, it causes the skin temperature to rise, which not only effectively promotes blood circulation, but also allows the infiltrated nutrients to diffuse better between cells. The moisture on the skin's surface that cannot evaporate will remain in the epidermis, making the skin smooth and tight. The warming effect can also soften the cuticle and expand the pores, allowing the dirt accumulated inside to be discharged.

4. Wait. Generally, the application time of facial mask is 15-20 minutes. However, because jelly mask has strong humidity and no water absorption effect of paper film, the application time can be extended to 10-15 minutes. It depends on personal preference. But it should be mentioned here that although jelly masks are suitable for all skin types, users with sensitive skin should apply them for 5-10 minutes less than normal skin users.

5. Reverse scraping [Key point] Reverse scraping means using the scraper to go against the direction of the pores and gently scrape from the outside to the inside. Reverse scraping and thick application are essential steps when using jelly mask, which have the effect of twice the result with half the effort. The reason for scraping in the opposite direction is that the dirt in the pores, such as blackheads and aging cuticles, will float to the surface of the skin when thick application is applied. Scraping in the opposite direction can clean them thoroughly.

6. Clean: Use clean water to wash off the residue of the jelly mask. .
