Peel Off Mask - These masks are based on rubber, wax or some types of plastic. When they have hardened on the skin they are peeled off in one piece taking surface dirt and dead skin cells with them.
They normally contain a softening ingredient and they form an occlusive layer on the skin preventing moisture loss. The ease of application and fast removal makes peel-off mask popular.
-
Thermal Mask/Mineral Mask - This is a thick paste applied to the skin, over a ream, which has been specially formulated to work with the mask for maximum benefit.
A chemical reaction occurs in the mask causing heat to be produced, which stimulates the skin, improving cellular regeneration and increading the effectiveness of the skin and absorption of the cream.
The heat develops as the mask hardens and then gradually subsides after about 20 minutes. The mask becomes rigids and is removed in one piece.
