A face mask with a warming effect is necessary for proper skin care. Its effect is much deeper than that of a conventional mask, which is reflected in the effect. This kind of mask can be used independently, and can precede further face cleansing. About everything in more detail below.
Warming face mask: benefit
The heating mask has a steaming effect: the pores expand, which allows toxins to escape through them better, and also increases the penetration of nutrients into the deepest layers of the dermis.
A warming face mask improves blood flow to the epidermal layer, which is reflected in oxygen transfer.
In addition, this mask contributes to:
- increased tone of the skin;
- improvement and acceleration of metabolism between cells;
- the work of the sebaceous glands becomes normal;
- skin peeling disappears;
- complexion normalizes, acquiring a healthy shade;
- the disappearance of rashes on oily skin;
- cleansing clogged pores.
The whole beneficial effect of the mask is possible due to its composition, which prepares the face for subsequent cleaning. It is recommended to use the product for aging or problematic skin, but for dry and normal skin it is also not contraindicated.
