- Face Packs or Face Masks |
| |
Use
of Face Packs or Face Masks is considered as third step
of skin care routine and final step in Cleansing. Face
Masks are an ideal way to remove dead cells on the surface
of the epidermis. A good face mask should rejuvenate
the skin by restoring the pH values, removing excessive
oil content, dirt and providing a balancing effect to
dry skin. Face Packs stimulate the blood circulation,
energize the muscles, open the pores and maintain elasticity
of the skin. Face packs and masks are prepared with
same ingredients with little variation in quantity and
density. Face packs are more porous and softer than
the face masks.

Apply
the Face packs by fingertips and spread gently over
face and neck leaving the area around eyes and mouth.
Place cotton pads soaked in cucumber or potato juice
or in rose water and lie down till the face pack dries.
Avoid talking or smiling and allow drying the pack,
10-15 minutes. Then wash the face with lukewarm water
and apply a thin layer of moisturizer or a cold cream.
Masks are more effective after a steam facial.
