How do you use a hydration face mask?

To effectively use a hydration face mask, follow these simple steps:

Preparation

Cleanse Your Skin: Begin by washing your face with a gentle cleanser to remove any makeup, dirt, and oil. The reference confirms that the mask must be applied to "cleansed, makeup-free and dry skin".
Dry Your Skin: Pat your skin dry with a soft towel. This ensures the mask adheres properly and is not diluted by excess water.
Consider Exfoliating: According to the reference, "it may be relevant to perform a scrub just before using the hydrating mask on the face". Exfoliating will remove dead skin cells and allow for better penetration of the hydrating ingredients into the skin.

Apply the Mask: Using clean hands or a mask applicator, evenly apply a generous layer of the hydration mask to your face, avoiding the eye area and lips.
Relax and Wait: Leave the mask on for the time specified on the product packaging. Usually, this ranges from 10 to 20 minutes. Use this time to relax and unwind.
Rinse or Remove: Once the time is up, rinse the mask off with lukewarm water, or as directed by the specific product. Some masks need to be peeled or wiped off with a damp cloth.
Pat Dry: Gently pat your face dry with a clean towel.
Follow Up: After using the mask, apply your favorite moisturizer to seal in the hydration.
