When collecting information about products, we used: sites with reviews of real customers, personal sales statistics of KrasotkaPro, open data from the Yandex search engine. Please note that several masks can be in the same place at once - it all depends on the number of points.

Indications for use of a moisturizing mask

Factors that indicate the need to begin such care are:

  • dryness, dehydration;
  • peeling;
  • rough cover;
  • withering;
  • severe environmental conditions, such as severe frosts or heat with dry air.

The main thing is to notice the deterioration of the skin in time and prevent the negative consequences of dry skin.

It rarely happens that dryness can be caused specifically by a disease. In such a situation, you need to use full-fledged medications, because a mask is still a more cosmetic option.

How does a moisturizing facial mask work?

A moisturizing mask is nothing more than a mixture of beneficial components and substances that are applied to the skin in the form of a gel or serum. Their key task is to saturate the face with the missing moisture, and we are talking about both the dermal cells themselves and the intercellular space. Thanks to the mask, the skin becomes more elastic, regeneration processes are accelerated, and at the same time the aging process slows down. In addition, using masks to moisturize the skin eliminates the effect of skin tightness and flaking. By applying a mask - no matter whether it is fabric or creamy - we, as it were, “seal” the skin of the face, ensuring the deepest possible penetration of beneficial substances into it. This effect cannot be achieved with a regular moisturizer.

The remaining actions are remembering, but the overall result is achieved only with complex influence. The main useful properties here are:

Placental masks

An alternative to beauty injections are placental masks. Their basis is the placenta of a person or animal, which is saturated with vitamins, fats, proteins and nucleic acid. Professional face masks with placenta are unique in that after their use, the facial skin becomes elastic, the facial contour is restored, the tone improves, and wrinkles are smoothed out.

Well-known placental masks include decorative cosmetics from Amicell from a Korean manufacturer (Price 100 rubles for 23 ml) Diazo placental mask - helps overcome the first signs of aging (Price 600 rubles) TianDe film mask - ideally replaces youth injections (Price 330 rubles . for 80)

Cleansing masks

Regular skin care includes several stages. The most important of them is cleansing. Using cosmetic gels, foams and milk during the washing process will only remove makeup and dust particles from the face. But they are not able to penetrate into the very depths of the turf. As a result, the pores become clogged and unpleasant blackheads and acne appear on the face.

In order to remove all this debris from the face, cosmetologists recommend using professional cleansing face masks.

The mechanical effect of such masks is that the product penetrates deep into the pores, splits the ducts, removes toxins, dust and all dirt from them. It also removes dead particles and improves oxygen access. As a result, oily shine disappears from the face, the skin becomes tightened, and the color noticeably improves. The main component of cleansers is cosmetic clay.

Manufacturers can also use wax and various synthetic substances in their production. It is quite difficult to list the best facial cleansers. Sometimes, even the most expensive products are not a guarantee of the desired result.

Based on reviews from ordinary customers, we can highlight:

  1. Fruit face mask Strawberry Toxifying Mask (Korea, price 900 rub.)
  2. Mud mask SpaPharma (Israel, price 700 rub.)
  3. Aqua Nature Blackhead Clean-Off Nose Pack film mask (Korea, price 500 rub.)
  4. Anti-acne mask from Yves Rocher (France, price 550 RUR)
  5. Cleansing mask from Planeta Organica (Russia, price 200 rub.)

The best cosmetic masks with acids

Acid care is at the peak of popularity today, which is not surprising. After all, it is easy to use and transforms the skin in a short time. Products based on fruit, lactic, mandelic, salicylic and other types of acids stimulate the processes of regeneration and cell renewal, therefore getting rid of wrinkles, enlarged pores, rashes, pigmentation, uneven tone and relief.

After just one use of the acid mask, the skin becomes velvety and filled with radiance. And with regular use, the product will prolong her youth and eliminate any imperfections. The downside of such products is their aggressive effect, which the sensitive epidermis will definitely not appreciate.

Rules of application

This section is determined by each manufacturer independently. We can only highlight the most common provisions:

  • It is of primary importance to cleanse the epidermis. A simple wash with a scrub is suitable for this.
  • It is not necessary, but it will be very useful to steam your face. Then the pores will open better, rough areas will soften, which will become an enhancing factor during use.
  • Application should be done in a thin layer.
  • The area of ​​the lips and eyes should not be affected.
  • For home therapy, it is recommended to use only fresh product. You should not leave the remains closed with an elastic band or clothespin. The exception is large jars and tubes, which are initially intended for multiple uses.
  • The application tool, be it a brush or just a hand, must be absolutely clean.
  • It is recommended to carry out the application itself when using the massage line technique, which can significantly increase the effectiveness of the drug.
  • The time the mask remains on the face is at least 15 minutes.
  • The product is removed from the bottom up, opening or simply rolling down.
  • At the end of the procedure, you can use a pigment-constricting balm to consolidate the result.

It is logical that here, as in everything else, the decisive factor is the manufacturer’s decision. The composition and production technologies will determine exactly how therapy should be carried out.

Before use, it would be a good idea to consult a specialist. Especially if you already have a tendency to allergies.

The new product contains natural coconut and almond oils, as well as cocoa powder, which instantly moisturize, soften, nourish the skin, and restore its natural protective functions.

Peculiarities

  • Moisturizing masks can not only moisturize, but also nourish with beneficial substances, cleanse pores, exfoliate the stratum corneum, tone, dissolve the upper layers of dead cells, soothe, remove swelling, draw out toxins and relieve irritation.
  • Before applying the mask, your face should be thoroughly cleansed, for example, with a scrub.
  • You need to keep the mask in accordance with the instructions. The average duration is 15-20 minutes.
  • Some masks do not need to be washed off, but the residue can be removed with a napkin or damp towel. In this case, a protective film remains, which serves as a barrier, preventing moisture from evaporating. Washing off with water will damage this film, and the effect will not be the same, especially if the water is hard.
  • After the mask, you can use a moisturizing or nourishing cream.
  • For oily skin it can be used once a week, for dry skin - 2-3 times.
  • It was found that the most optimal time for applying moisturizers is from 12:00 to 14:00 or from 23:00 to 10:00.

Why do we need moisturizers?

As mentioned above, moisturizing masks are needed to solve the problem of dry skin. They fight problems such as sagging, uneven tone, dryness, peeling, microcracks, and deformation of the oval of the face. They are also used when there is a lack of vitamins, because to maintain the achieved result, the dermis needs energy and vitality. Otherwise, the result would be more cosmetic than therapeutic.

Paraffin masks

Paraffin is a mineral natural fat that has been used in medicine for many years. But it also found its place in cosmetology in the form of cleansing and softening face masks. By using paraffin-based products, the face is cleansed of impurities and blackheads. Fine wrinkles become less noticeable, the facial contour is more expressive, and the facial skin is soft and silky.

Among the manufacturers of this cosmetics, one can highlight the Russian manufacturer “Arabia”. The price of the company's products is quite reasonable (from 300 to 1500 rubles). The company's decorative cosmetics are made based on natural ingredients.

Professional paraffin face masks can be made at home if you choose the right recipe. The main thing is to be careful not to burn your face.
