Which mask is best for beautiful skin?

One would be tempted to say that the last generation is the best performer. Yet it is not the most modern that is necessarily the most suitable.
For example, the rubber mask is in two parts: 2 elements: the active serum bulb to be applied directly to the skin and an alginate mask to be deposited as a second skin. It is quite enclosing and this feeling can be badly experienced. In addition, quad is removed, the skin is moved by pulling on it, which can interfere with the support fibers.
It forms a universe under bell on the skin, forcing the skin to drink the assets of the serum bulb. Also you have to be vigilant to the active ingredients actually present in the serum bulb because it's modern but with real active ingredients it's better. From plsu the installation time is 30 to 40 minutes!
In contrast a first generation mask, therefore a tube of creamy mask, is pleasant to apply and slowly delivers its active on vote skin, at his request.
The 3rd and 4th generation masks have the advantage of being practical to carry because sold in unidoses. They are easy to lay on the face and you can see the hollows of your face

It's up to you to test these different masks care and see the one that suits your wish: search for the comfort of a creamy texture, a desire for practicality, a desire for quick action without rinsing, etc.

Personally I am fond of bio-cellulose masks and hydrogel masks.
I do not like the peel off because they always leave small residues to make go and are composed of plastic /vinyl.
I still like to make a clay or charcoal tube mask on the T zone from time to time.
