Usually when we think of a beauty mask there are those of us who are seduced by every conceivable mask that they can get their hands on.Then there are those who purchase one because their beauty therapist or friends recommend it and after an enthusiastic brave start rapidly just sort of get over it and there it remains in a cupboard hoping that it will get another chance to shine.
Masks can have many functions from deep cleansing to stimulating a healthy micro circulation ,calming and treating acneic conditions or other dermatological issues. They also provide an anti ageing effect and that ever much needed healthy glam and glow . Nothing beats fabulous.
Let's not forget the psychological aspects of face masks .You may smile and produce an ironic eyebrow lift but masks have an emotional quality, providing a sense of serene wellbeing . It is a “timeout “a ten to fifteen minute ‘chill’.
What are the options make it part of a personal SPA time you know bath, fragrant bubbles, candles or if you are always on the go, do what I do wake up cleanse your face, apply the mask and sit with your favourite coffee or tea for ten minutes before showering. This works well with all the Dr Baumann Masks . The liposome mask must be applied in a different way because it must not be removed.
Simply explained, the ingredients that face masks are composed of are kept longer in contact with your skin because of the occlusion phenomenon. This however is not relevant to the liposomes masks of Dr Bauman, BeauCaire or SkinIdent. They function in a completely different way. (They are absorbed directly into all the layers of the skin).
