Every woman knows that face and body care must be continuous and comprehensive. You can’t just “stuff” the skin with all kinds of super-useful creams and gels and at the same time not pay attention to cleansing and toning. In addition, even with careful daily home care, you sometimes need to allow professional cosmetologists to take care of their face. Manual or hardware reading, deep peeling and, of course, an alginate face mask - this is a list of the most requested and loved by women of all ages procedures.
As for cleaning or peeling - everything is clear here. These procedures were performed at least once by any girl (someone in the salon, someone at home). And here is the alginate mask - This is a fairly new service provided by beauty salons and beauty parlors.
What are alginate masks?
Alginate mask is a real professional cosmetic product.
It is not always possible to buy this product in any supermarket and even in a salon.
Such products are quite expensive, because they contain exclusively natural ingredients, without synthetic additives.
The main ingredient contained in these masks is seaweed extract. This component is considered one of the most useful and effective natural cosmetics. Any alginate mask is made in the form of a powder, and only then, before application, it is diluted with water or a special solution to the consistency of the gel.
Act
Alginate face mask has a versatile effect on the skin. Due to its natural composition, the product effectively copes with many problems:
- tightens the skin, making it supple and elastic, perfectly fights the first signs of aging;
- moisturizes the skin without disturbing the water balance ;
- actively struggling with imperfections;
- has an anti-inflammatory effect;
- improves blood circulation, accelerating metabolic processes in the skin;
- removes dead cells from the surface of the skin.
Application
As already mentioned, alginate powder masks are diluted with water or special cosmetic solutions. Due to the fact that the resulting mass hardens very quickly, it is necessary to stir the composition very carefully and quickly, after which it is immediately applied to the skin. The alginate mask, unlike ordinary masks, is applied to the entire face, including the area around the eyes and lips, as well as to the neck and décolleté area - only the nostrils remain open.
If it was cooked correctly, then after 20-25 minutes it is removed from the face with one rag, which eliminates the need for washing off the product with water.
One of the main features of a professional alginate mask is that it covers the face very tightly, blocking oxygen from entering the skin. That is why the skin begins to actively "swallow" the useful and effective components that make up the product. And for the best effect, before applying the mask to the face, it is worth applying a nourishing or moisturizing base to the skin - vitamin cream, serum, organic coconut oil, oily solutions of vitamins.
Diluted alginates can only be used on clean skin, in order to avoid contaminants entering the pores. You can buy alginate masks in online stores, or you can order in large beauty salons.
