How to Apply a Facial Mask

Daily cleansing, toning, and moisturizing are crucial to maintaining healthy, glowing skin. But you can also boost your daily skincare routine with a weekly facial mask. A high quality facial mask can help hydrate your skin, remove excess oils, and improve the appearance of your pores, and Décel’s Vitamin-Berry Skin Recovery Mask goes above and beyond.

Made with all-natural plant-derived ingredients like nutrient-rich carrot oil and mango butter, the Vitamin-Berry mask increases the skin’s moisture level and oxygen uptake, improves cell regeneration, naturally brightens the skin, and prevents the early appearance of wrinkles. 

As a bonus, using a facial mask is a great excuse to indulge in some self-care and relaxation. You’ll achieve the best results if you follow these steps:

  1. Prepare your skin

You’ll need a freshly clean face before applying a facial mask to ensure you’re absorbing all its benefits. Start with a deep cleanser like Décel’s Exfoliating Deep Pore Enzyme Cleanser, which uses natural enzymes and Alpha and Beta Hydroxy acids to remove makeup, excess oil and surface impurities while exfoliating dead skin cells.

  1. Steam your face

To help open your pores, steam your face with a hot wet cloth or steaming machine. Steaming is also quite relaxing, so you can settle in and enjoy a few minutes of peace.

  1. Apply the mask

Using freshly-washed and damp hands, apply the mask to your still-damp skin, but don’t rub it in—apply it gently like frosting on a cake. As the name implies, apply the cream to resemble a mask, leaving your eye area, nostrils, and lips clear. You can also apply the mask down your throat and onto your neck if desired.

  1. Sit back and relax

Most facial masks require you to leave them to set for 10-15 minutes, so follow the directions as listed and use the time to relax, make a cup of tea or pour a glass of wine. Be sure to set a timer so you don’t forget to remove the mask when the time is up, as the product’s benefits depend on closely following the directions for use.

  1. Remove the mask

Facial masks are designed to adhere to your skin, so it’s important to be gentle during the removal process. If the mask seems particularly tight, place a warm, wet washcloth over your face for a few seconds to help loosen and dissolve the mask. This will make rinsing it off with water much easier. When the mask is off completely, pat—don’t rub—your skin dry with a clean towel, and continue with your daily skincare routine.
