The same applies to film masks, only they are not applied to the face, but are distributed in a thin, even, sufficiently dense layer. Powders are more difficult to use, since they are produced in dry form and must be dissolved. Some are equipped with a special gel for mixing, others are diluted with ordinary cold water or, for example, herbal infusion. Their advantage is that you can add your own components to increase efficiency. The main thing is to get a cream-like mixture that is optimal in consistency, which is easily applied, but does not run.

After this, the face is cleansed with a tonic and a suitable cream is applied. With competent regular care, the skin will be clean, fresh and radiant, smoothed, elastic and resilient.
