Step 1
Cleanse your face. Don’t forget to cleanse your neck too. Whatever you are doing with your face, do it also with your neck, even when applying makeup. When you are applying moisturizer, foundation or face powder apply them on the neck, especially during the summer months.
After your face is cleansed let it dry. The facial masks work best when they are applied on clean and dry skin.
Step 2
Follow the instructions written in the pack. Never leave your mask to remain on the skin for more time than it’s written on the pack. Some ingredients could do harm to the skin if they stay put more than necessarily.
There is no need to remove the mask earlier. Once your mask is applied don’t make any facial expressions. Lie on the bed and close your eyes – feel comfortable and relax.
Step 3
Wash your face and neck with lukewarm water using a mild cleanser. Never rub your skin. At the end apply moisturizer, hydrating cream or tonic.
