What Is A Bubble Mask?
Bubble masks are cleansing masks that foam or form bubbles due to a special oxygenation process. These bubbles help in gently removing dirt and impurities from your face and leave your face glowing.
Bubble masks are available in various options, including sheet masks, creams, clay masks containing foaming and (that form bubbles) hydrating ingredients, collagen supplements, and activated charcoal (for improved hydration and exfoliation).
If you think your skin is dull and looks lifeless, you need to try this Korean beauty innovation. But how do you use it?
How To Use A Bubble Mask?
1. Cleanse Your Skin
Clean your face thoroughly using a gentle cleanser. Use warm water to wash your face so that the pores open up. Pat your skin dry.
2. Apply The Face Mask
Take the mask out and put it on your face gently. Leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes or as instructed on the package.
If you are using it in the cream form, wash your hands and scoop out the product. Use the spatula to spread it evenly on your face. Avoid the areas around your eyes, nostrils, and mouth. Also, do not apply it close to the hairline. Leave it on for the specified duration.
3. Wait For The Bubbles To Form
You will notice that the mask starts to bubble. Let it stay for the time specified by the brand. Do not leave it for more than 20 minutes as it can dry the skin.
4. Remove The Mask
Remove the mask after the stipulated duration. Gently massage the remainder of the product onto your skin to clean the remaining dirt and impurities. Massaging also relaxes the facial muscles. Wash off with warm water.
5. Seal With A Serum or Moisturizer
Apply a serum that suits your skin to lock in the goodness of the product and keeps your skin soft and supple. Finish off with a moisturizer.
