USAGE GUIDE
HYDRATING MASK
MASKS: Introduction
Masks provide a simple refreshing do-it-yourself skin break and if you did one a week you can’t go wrong.
But not one every day. Why not? Too much skin stripping in the removal phase and that is going to start you on the road to sensitization very fast.
Masks increase circulation as their primary benefit. The minerals and lipids exchanges with the upper cell layers also has a lot of resonance down below, going out for a few days. In a way this mask procedure resembles going out to the garden and turning over the soil.
302 Skincare has four (4) masks now, for over ten years in the professional market. We find they address the big issues for most and are proven formulas. More exotic formulas are always interesting and fun but not on our radar because novelties have narrow audiences and unpredictable outcomes. We have tweaked ours now and then to realize better results. Recently with new and effective organic hydrosols we found improvement and have incorporated them.
Read through the choices here and you will find these masks overlap somewhat, but all are distinct in their application specialty.
HYDRATING MASK: Introduction
This is from a recipe that dates back to the 1920’s. We added a few updates but this “old school” formula has survived for so long because it works – and works very well.
Dry? Parched? Prepare to feel drenched and loving it. Don’t let the heavy feel of its application suddenly give you cold feet. It will leave your skin afterward like a plump, dewy, baby’s cheek.
HOW TO USE:
- Cleanse well with REVIVE or FACE & BODY BAR, rinse, leave skin wet.
- Smooth in with clean sponges. You may use fingers but sponges are preferred to keep the procedure sanitary.
- Around eyes (avoid eye, be careful on eyelids), and nose and along jaw line are most effective areas of application in addition to cheeks, upper lip, chin, neck, forehead.
- Allow 15 to 30 minutes dwell time. Eyes closed.
- Spritz with CALMING MIST to keep mask damp during dwell time. This is usually not an issue for HYDRATING MASK so if you don’t have a MIST, no worries.
- Rinse thoroughly with very warm water.
- Rinse again. Clean, wetted wash cloth is permitted.
- Apply FACE & BODY BAR as your cleanser, and then rinse off. A second application may feel necessary but usually isn’t.
- Wait at least one hour before applying any leave-on. This will ensure your skin remains stable.
- Feel free to mist with CALMING MIST anytime post procedure.
