What Are "Jelly" Masks For?
You will hear aesthetic professionals rave about jelly masks' cooling cryogenic effect on the skin. They have the ability to drop your natural skin temperature, creating an occlusive effect that increases penetration of the previously applied product. They relax the facial muscles from tension and help with lymphatic drainage. The cryogenic effect particularly benefits the eye and lip area, reducing puffiness and inflammation, which is why many therapists love to cover the eyes and mouth. These jelly masks truly calm down the skin and reduce any redness or erythema, which is great especially after extractions or treatments like microdermabraion or dermaplaning.
What Is The Main Ingredient In Jelly Masks?
Marine algae is a common ingredient in rubber masks, which is known for its hydrating, antioxidant, and soothing properties. Masks that contain hyaluronic acid hydrate the skin even more.
Sodium alginate derived from brown seaweed or kelp in most jelly masks allows the mask to congeal after being applied and mould to the contours of the face, sealing in moisture and driving ingredients deep into the skin.
What Skin Types Should Use Jelly Masks?
The beauty of this mask is that any skin type can use it.... it is especially helpful for calming the skin after extractions and great for drier types because of the seal it creates for the skin, resulting in better product absorption. Detoxifying charcoal jelly masks work well for acne prone skin, and gold masks are great for clients who need a little glow before an event. Egyptian Rose is fabulous for working on wrinkles with it's anti ageing properties
