Makeup & Beauty Tips

Face packs or face masks

There are required to supplement the primary phase of skin care, i.e. cleansing. Masks stimulate the blood circulation, tone the muscles and maintain the elasticity of the skin. Also they draw out the impurities from the pores. While applying the face pack use your fingertips to spread the pack gently over the face. Remember you should not apply the face pack around your eyes and mouth, thus leaving three circles on the face.

You can put the cotton pads soaked in cucumber/potato juice to provide relief to your eyes. It will be better if you can lie down while your face pack dries. Because this way you will not be stretching your skin which is being treated right then.

On the left hand side, there are some of the face packs which you can try according to your convenience. There is no harm in switching from one face pack to the other depending on its availability. But these shifts should be within the variety of face packs suggested for your skin type.

How to use a Mask

The first step is to equip your makeup kit with a flat wide brush.
Avoid fingers!
Be sure to knot your hair back, or gather it in a scarf or a headband. Your forehead should be completely visible and free of hair.
Wear clothing that will leave the neck area open.
Start applying the mask with your brush, using even strokes. Be careful to avoid the lips and the sensitive area around the eyes and include the neck area.
Retain the mask for at least 20 minutes (unless a particular timeframe is mentioned on the tube).
To remove the mask, moisten with some water and rub it off the skin gently.
In the case of peel-off masks, you will have to peel-off! Also rinse the face with plenty of water, incase the layer persists. Use circular strokes.
