Clear, glowy skin is the goal, right? But with so many skin treatments out there, it can easily become confusing when trying to find a facial treatment that works for your skin type. Enter hydrojelly face masks.
What exactly is a hydrojelly face mask?
Hydrojelly face masks are electrolyte-rich jelly masks that are applied topically. They restore electrolyte imbalances often a cause of dehydrated, dry and dull looking skin. Hydrojelly masks add moisture to actually re-hydrate the skin and are available for all skin types.
These masks are made up of a few core ingredients that do some pretty amazing things for the skin:
Algae – a powerful antioxidant that moisturizes and protects the skin. When applied to the skin, algae will protect, repair and fight environmental damage, wrinkles and signs of aging. It is loaded with essential vitamins and minerals that work together to boost collagen, balance oil production, reduce puffiness and soothe redness.
Organic white grain oat flour – this does a bunch of great things for skin. It has soothing properties to help calm skin and can alleviate skin conditions like rashes, allergic reactions, sunburn and other irritations.
Organic white rice flour – here’s one example where carbs save the day! Organic white rice flour is filled with para-aminobenzoic acid, ferulic acid, and allantoin, which makes it a great alternative for sunscreen. It can be used to increase the absorption of vitamin C in our body, and works to repair the skin, too. It has amazing cleansing, exfoliating and conditioning properties – good, good and good!
White willow bark – the real star here. It’s extremely high in tannins, phenolic acids, flavonoids and minerals. It works really hard to soothe our skin and plays a big role in cell regeneration, leaving beautiful, plump, and youthful looking skin. It also reduces inflammation and relieves stressful skin conditions like rosacea, eczema and psoriasis. Plus, it can reduce acne and excessive oil production, wrinkles and other signs of aging, and minimizes pores. Wow!
How does the process work?
While these ingredients play critical roles, the reason why hydrojelly masks are so effective comes down to the application process. The mask comes in a powdered formula which is mixed with water and activated, forming a jelly-like substance. Once applied, the mask sets for 15-20 minutes and creates sort of a vacuum seal gently penetrating the skin and pushing all of its nutrients into your pores.
Hydrojelly masks are a non-invasive, gentle treatment that requires little to no aftercare or additional steps post treatment. They’re a great way to manage and maintain your skin and can be used in conjunction with other treatments. They don’t cause any damage to brow or lash tints and can be used to soothe skin post-waxing.
How long should benefits last?
Benefits can last up to four weeks. To maintain results, a monthly hydrojelly mask is recommended to best balance skin texture and tighten pores.
