What is alginate and alginate mask?
Alginate is an extract from seaweed kelp (brown algae). Alginates have many useful properties, the main of which is the removal of toxins and deep hydration.
Alginate masks are popular professional cosmetics. They are used for the face and body, and provide an immediate lifting effect while solving many other different skin problems. They also have unique properties and are suitable for any skin type, incl. and for the care of problem skin with acne, for mature skin with wrinkles and dryness, and for especially sensitive skin. The special healing properties and versatility of alginate masks are explained by the fact that they are made from brown seaweed, which is considered one of the highest quality natural ingredients used in cosmetology.


What are alginate masks for and what properties do they have on the skin?
Alginate masks have a wide spectrum of action: they significantly increase the elasticity and protective properties of the skin, remove toxins, moisturize and saturate the skin with microelements, improve blood circulation, reduce the depth and intensity of wrinkles, correct the oval and improve complexion. Ideal for any skin, they normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands, relieve inflammation and irritation of the skin, tighten pores and reduce swelling, soothe, stimulate the synthesis of collagen and elastin, and restore the natural pH balance of the skin. Alginate mask contributes to the overall improvement of the skin condition.
The acid-base balance of the masks is maintained as neutral as possible (from 6.8 to 7.0), i.e. as close as possible to the water balance. This is an environmentally friendly and hypoallergenic cosmetic product.


How to dilute and apply an alginate mask?
Mode of application. The mask is applied to the entire face including the area around the eyes and lips. But it is not recommended to apply a mask on the eyelids in the presence of extended eyelashes. Before applying the alginate mask, the skin must be thoroughly cleaned: remove makeup and apply a little oily cream to the eyebrows and eyelashes. Immediately before use, the mask powder must be diluted with cold water at a temperature of 20 ° C - 23 ° C in a ratio of 1: 3 (for example: on the face area 30 grams of powder and 90 ml of water, on the face and neck area 40 grams of powder per 120 ml of water). Beat the alginate mask intensively for at least 30-40 seconds until the consistency of thick sour cream and apply quickly so that it does not have time to harden.
It is best to apply the mask in a lying horizontal position with maximum relaxation of the muscles of the face. The mask is applied to the skin in an even layer 2-3 mm thick using a cosmetic spatula with movements along the massage lines. Within 8-12 minutes, the mask becomes like rubber and slightly decreases in volume. This process is called plasticizing. The mask slightly tightens the skin of the face.
You must wear a mask for 30 minutes. Then the mask is easily removed in the form of a soft plastic cast that follows the contours of the face or body. You need to remove it with one movement from the bottom from the chin up to the forehead. Hair, eyelashes and eyebrows do not stick to the mask, so removal is no problem. After removal, if necessary, you can apply a thin layer of cream to the skin.

To achieve the most positive result from the alginate mask, it is recommended to carry out a similar procedure in the salon with the participation of a beautician, since the alginate mask is not easy to use. However, you can buy alginate masks for independent home use. Carefully and carefully follow the basic rules for use, which are indicated on the package. For the first acquaintance with the alginate mask, we recommend using sachets of 30 grams, which are intended for one procedure.

After applying the alginate mask, the skin of the face feels younger, toned and rested. The mask has a pronounced lifting effect. You have a feeling of lightness and freshness of the skin.


How often can an alginate mask be used?
For the best effect, a course application is recommended. Intensive course of application: 1 mask every two days, i.e. in a row every other day for 2 weeks. Depending on the condition of the skin, under the guidance of a beautician, the course of procedures can be extended up to 15 applications of the alginate mask. During course procedures, the positive rejuvenating effect of alginate masks will be cumulative. A repeated intensive course is recommended in 2-3 months.
To maintain the result, we recommend using masks 1-2 times a week as a preventive care product.
Also, any of the masks can be used as an express care for an instant visible lifting result, for example, before an important event or meeting.
