Why is using masks effective?

The principle behind using mask is the same as a type of skin-care treatment called "Occlusive Dressing Treatment".  It adopts the method that completely seals off the skin from the external environment....

• On the one hand, the surface temperature of the skin will rise, so the circulation and the absorption of the treated area will improve and speed up.  This way, the skin pores will then open up and enable deep cleansing or more absorption of the nutritious ingredients.  
• On the other hand, it will slow down water evaporation process from the skin, and therefore improve the water retention level in the outermost skin layer and quickly improve the condition of the skin. 

As long as you choose a good quality face mask that suit your current skin needs, you can get the same result (or even better result) as if you’ve just got a facial treatment from your favorite spa!
