Use process

It is better to apply cream or olive oil on eyebrows, eyelashes, etc. first, because these places cannot be coated with mask.
②Apply the mask supplies on your fingers or soft bristle brush, and apply evenly in the order of neck next forehead a two ton a nose a lip Monday forehead, etc. In the distance from the eyes, lips, eyebrows, etc. should be about 0.5 cm apart to avoid stimulating the mucous membrane to cause adverse reactions. Place eye pads for protection if necessary. If you are oily skin, apply the mask from the T-zone with more oil, the amount is a little more okay, and then apply other parts in order.

The number of times to do the mask should be mastered properly, too diligent dressing will instead accelerate skin relaxation, aging. In general, once a week can be applied.

Usage
Time:
Usually the woven mask can be left on for 10-15 minutes, and the specific time of application can be determined according to the instructions on the mask. It should be noted that the longer the mask is applied, the better the effect. If you find that the mask is still moist after the time specified on the mask instructions, there is no need to continue to apply the mask, because the active ingredients in the mask have been fully absorbed by your skin, and applying it again will not increase the effect. Do not increase the number of times you apply the mask on your own.
Massage:
After removing the woven mask, you can double the effectiveness of the mask by massaging it with the nutrients left on your face. Massage the fingers of both hands in the order of “from the center to the periphery” and “from the bottom to the top” along the texture of the muscles, which is the route of lymphatic circulation to detoxify and tighten the skin.
Wrapping:
The main reason for the excellent maintenance effect of the mask lies in the “wrapping” effect of the mask, which completely isolates the skin from the air and allows the skin to fully absorb nutrients. Therefore, it is best to lay the mask on, so that the weight of the mask itself fully pressed on the face, to help the mask play the “wrap” effect.
