Rules for drawing masks
You need to know how to apply a mask. So, for example, any masks, including cleansing, should be applied to clean skin, preferably after steaming and massage.
When using home masks, they should be prepared immediately before application. Before you start preparing a mask, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and rinse all the fruits and vegetables that you will use. Grind vegetables and fruits in various ways: if the fruits are solid, for example, cucumbers or raw potatoes, they can be grinded on a grater or in a blender. If the fruits are soft, for example, a banana, berries, they can be kneaded with a fork or, better, a wooden spoon. Before stretching soft large fruits, they are more conveniently cut into pieces.
Before applying the mask, remove the hair under an elastic bandage or kerchief.
If the mask looks like a gruel, it is applied with a special brush or cotton pad. If the mask is very thick, for example, it is pieces of fruit, vegetables, it can be applied with a clean hand. If the mask, on the contrary, is very liquid, then its application requires a gauze mask, which is moistened in the resulting composition and applied to the face.
Gauze mask can be made as follows: gauze is folded into several layers, cut out the oval of the necessary size, then make holes for the eyes, mouth and nostrils.
In the nose area, it is sufficient to make a T-shaped incision. To the gauze does not crumble, and the layers do not disintegrate, the edges of the mask, including in the eyes and mouth, can be swept with a thread. Instead of gauze for liquid masks, you can use a different fabric, for example a terry towel.
All masks, except special masks for the skin around the eyes, are applied to the face, excluding the areas around the eyes and mouth. Apply a mushy mask follows the lines of the least stretching of the skin.
The duration of the procedure usually ranges from 10 to 30 minutes, but more often it is 15 minutes. Using a mask, you need to follow the recommendations given in the instructions, and do not keep it for less or longer than the time you put. However, if you apply
mask, you will feel a burning sensation on the skin, remove it before the specified time, and rinse the skin with plenty of water;most likely, you are allergic to any ingredient in the mask.
It's better to lie down during the mask action. If you want to put a pillow under your head, then it should be flat. Try to relax as much as possible. During the procedure, it is recommended to avoid conversations and active facial expressions, so as not to disrupt the integrity of the mask. Therefore, before applying the mask, you must secure yourself 15-20 minutes of calm and silence in advance.
Remove the mask carefully, so as not to injure the skin. It is convenient to do this with a damp cotton pad or a wet sponge, if the face mask has dried.
After the mask has been removed, pat the skin with a towel.
If you have dry skin or after removing the mask, you feel the tightness of the skin, wipe the face with a tonic without alcohol, and then apply the cream.
If you have oily or normal skin, then after removing the mask it is enough to rub your face with a toner.
And now, step by step, consider the sequence of applying a conventional mask:
Skin cleansing. To do this, you can wash with a gel to wash or rub the skin with cosmetic milk, and then rinse your face with warm water or herbal decoction. After washing, pat dry skin with a towel.
Skinning. Apply a moist wet compress on the face or make a steam bath. Then, pat dry skin with a towel.
With dilated blood vessels, steaming can not be done.
Facial massage. This stage is optional, but it is desirable - it improves blood circulation, and hence, absorption of nutrients.
Protection of sensitive skin areas. Skin around the eyes and lips lubricate a thin layer of cream - it is especially important to do this with dry skin.
Applying the mask. Apply the mask on the massage lines, excluding the area around the eyes and lips, first on the forehead, then on the nose, cheeks, chin and, lastly, on the neck.

Removing the mask. Remove with a damp cotton wool disc or cellulose sponge.
Skin care after mask application. Rinse your face with water or a decoction of herbs, soak with a towel. Wipe the skin with a toner. With dry skin, as well as when feeling dry skin, apply face cream.
