FACE MASK: WHY INSERT IT IN THE BEAUTY ROUTINE
«Face masks are necessary to take care of your skin at 360 degrees. I am indeed a concentrate of active ingredients and therefore an effective treatment to treat many skin imperfections in a more specific way than the daily beauty routine ».

FREQUENCY AND LAYING TIMES
«The frequency, as well as the shutter speed, changes a lot the type of mask chosen, based on the imperfection that is going to treat and the active ingredients it contains. Generally no less than once a week and no more than three. In any case, I suggest that you follow the instructions on the packaging of the chosen cosmetic ».

HOW TO PREPARE THE SKIN FIRST AND WHAT TO APPLY AFTER
«Before applying a mask on the face it is important to carefully remove all traces of make-up. The skin must be perfectly cleaned with cleansing milk or make-up remover gel to avoid skin reactions in the following days. Indeed, the occlusive effect of the mask favors the passage of active ingredients, but also of any impurities and bacteria if it is not perfectly clean. Follow the cleansing with a delicate scrub. In fact, exfoliation will eliminate dead cells, oxygenating the skin and thus enhancing the effects of the mask. At this point, tone up to rebalance the natural pH of the skin and proceed with the application of the mask on the face, neck and décolleté. After the shutter speed has elapsed, remove the product with warm water, using a cleansing cloth or a face sponge, and tone again. Finally, apply the eye cream and face cream that you usually use, to complete the treatment leaving the skin hydrated, nourished and rested ».
