Open the sheet mask package, carefully pull out the folded mask, and gently unfold it.
While seemingly simple, here's a more detailed look at opening a sheet mask properly:
-
Tear or Cut Open the Package: Most sheet masks come in sealed packets with a tear notch. Use the notch to tear the package open. If there isn't a notch, scissors can be used to make a clean cut across the top of the package.
-
Handle with Clean Hands: Before opening the package, ensure your hands are clean to prevent introducing bacteria to the mask and your face.
-
Gently Remove the Mask: Sheet masks are often saturated with serum. Carefully pull the folded mask out of the package. Be mindful of drips.
-
Unfold the Mask: Carefully unfold the sheet mask. Some masks have a backing that needs to be removed before application. Follow the instructions on the packaging.
-
Retain Excess Serum (Optional): The package will often contain excess serum. You can gently squeeze this out into your clean hands or a small bowl to apply to your face, neck, and décolletage after applying the mask.
-
Proper Disposal: Once the mask is removed, discard the packaging and the mask appropriately after use. (The mask is typically not reusable).
