Any woman knows that facial and body care should be continuous and comprehensive. You can’t just “stuff” the skin with all sorts 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 let specialists - professional cosmetologists - take care of your face. Manual or machine reading, deep peeling and, of course, an alginate face mask - this is the list of the most popular and beloved procedures for women of all ages.
As for cleaning or peeling, everything is clear here. Any girl went through these procedures at least once (someone in the salon, someone at home). But the alginate mask is a fairly new service provided by beauty salons and beauty parlors.
What are alginate masks?
Alginate mask is the real professional cosmetic product.
It is not always possible to buy this product in any supermarket and even a salon.
There are such fundsquite expensive, because they contain only 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 produced in the form of a powder, and only then, just before application, it is diluted with water or a special solution to a gel consistency.
Action
Alginate face mask has a versatile effect on the skin. Due to the 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 fights against imperfections;
- has anti-inflammatory effect;
- improves blood circulation, accelerating the metabolic processes in the skin;
- removes dead skin 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, and then immediately apply to the skin. The alginate mask, unlike conventional masks, is applied to the entire face, including the area around the eyes and lips, as well as to the neck and areaneckline - only the nostrils remain open.
If it was prepared correctly, after 20-25 minutes it is removed from the face with one flap, which eliminates the need to wash off the product with water.
One of the main features of a professional alginate mask is that it covers the face very tightly, blocking the access of oxygen to 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 on the face, it is worth applying a nourishing or moisturizing base to the skin - vitamin cream, serum, organic coconut oil, oil solutions of vitamins.
You can use diluted alginates only on clean skin, in order to avoid contamination from entering the pores. You can buy alginate masks in online stores, or you can order them in large beauty salons.
