Alginate mask LibreDerm
Every day alginate masks are becoming increasingly popular not only among professional beauticians, but also among ordinary users. They perfectly tighten the skin and at the same time solve many other problems: clean, moisturize, regenerate the skin at deep levels. These cosmetics can be used not only for the face, but also for the body. Alginate mask has a plasticizing effect. After drying, it forms a protective film that retains moisture inside the dermis.
Today, a similar cosmetic product is produced by many firms. The Russian company LibreDerm was no exception. All cosmetics manufactured under this brand are considered affordable by the general population. At the same time, product quality meets the highest standards, as the company constantly conducts its own scientific developments.
The company has a range of caring cosmetics for various purposes. For best results, it is recommended to use masks in a complex with other cosmetics of the same company. LibreDerm presents to its consumers the serums, creams and balms for various purposes.
A distinctive feature of LibreDerm alginate masks is that they immediately give a visible result after the first application. Traces of fatigue and lack of sleep disappear almost immediately. Many reviews claim that the effect of their use can be compared with beauty injections or even with a surgical tightening.
The mask does not just tighten the face along the contour - it also nourishes the skin with vitamins, removes excessive puffiness, without overdrying the skin and holding the required amount of moisture inside it. Regular use of these drugs contributes to the acceleration of regenerating processes, elimination of irritations and pore cleansing.
The undoubted advantage of this tool is the fact that the product has practically no contraindications and is universal for all skin types. The only limitation recommended by the manufacturers is the presence of open wounds on the face, severe irritations, burns and other injuries, or a tendency to allergic reactions, individual rejection of one or another component. As practice shows, the rejection of skin cosmetics LibreDerm occurs very rarely in exceptional cases.
Recommendations for use
Some women are afraid to use alginate masks because of the difficult, in their opinion, use. In fact, everything is not so scary. As is known, this product in its original form is a powdered mass, which should be diluted with water in certain proportions. Let's take a closer look at the algorithm for making alginate mask from LibreDerm.
Before you begin a cosmetic procedure, you must prepare the face. To do this, it must be well cleaned with a tonic or other means.
Preload the contents of the bag in a non-metallic container (preferably ceramic, so as not to react with the metal) and add about 150 ml of water at a comfortable temperature for you. The resulting mixture must be quickly and thoroughly stirred until a homogeneous mass without lumps. The density of the mass should resemble a batter.
The mask is applied to the entire surface of the face, including the area of the eyes and lips. So that the tool does not damage the delicate texture of these areas, it is recommended to apply a thick cream.
After that, the resulting mass should be applied to the face with a special spatula, which should be attached to each set.This should be done very quickly, until the liquid is frozen. If you are not confident in your abilities, you can ask someone from your loved ones to help you.
The mask should be kept for 20-30 minutes, then gently pick it up by the edge and remove from the bottom up. Leftover product can be removed with a tonic or a wet swab.
A little advice: on contact with water, the mass may take on a very specific color. Small children are often scared at the sight of a mother with a solid mask without holes. And men, as a rule, do not attract such a spectacle. Therefore, it is better to remove the home inhabitants first, in order not to injure their tender psyche.
Operating principle
In contact with the epidermis, the mass fills all the pores and the smallest folds, thereby smoothing them out and filling them with moisture. A few minutes after application, the composition begins to harden and resembles a rubber film, which, when dried, shrinks in volume and tightens the contours of the face, increasing its overall tone.
This tool has a cumulative effect, so it is better not to dwell on one procedure, but to do them in a course of 10-15 sessions. Manufacturers recommend using one sachet for one procedure, but everyone’s skin is different and the consistency is also different for everyone. The article gives approximate calculations. However, as practice shows, some women prefer to divide this portion in half, believing that they need half the dose.
It is recommended to carry out the procedure for the first time daily, then take a week or two breaks and then repeat them once every 5-10 days.
