What is the purpose of a softening mask before a facial?
A softening mask is a critical preparatory step in professional cosmetology, used before treatments like manual extractions. Its primary function is to intensely soften the epidermis, particularly the outer stratum corneum. This process helps to dilate the pores and loosen impacted sebum, dead skin cells, and other debris. Using a product like this Bielenda mask to soften skin before extractions makes the subsequent cleansing process significantly more efficient, less uncomfortable, and reduces the risk of post-treatment inflammation or irritation. It is the best professional face mask for deep pore cleansing preparation.
Does urea help moisturize the skin?
Absolutely. Urea is one of the most effective and well-researched hydrating ingredients in modern skincare. As a vital component of the skin's own Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF), it has powerful hygroscopic properties, meaning it attracts and binds water within the epidermis. In this face mask with kukui oil and urea for all skin types, urea not only provides deep, lasting hydration but also exhibits a mild keratolytic effect, helping to dissolve the 'glue' that holds dead skin cells together. This dual action makes it an ideal ingredient for preparing the skin for a deep cleanse, ensuring it is both hydrated and softened.
How to Maximize The Effects?
Apply a thick, even layer of the mask to a cleansed face, avoiding the eye and mouth area. To intensify its effects, use with a vapozone (facial steamer) for 10-15 minutes. Alternatively, a Solux lamp with a red filter or applying cling film followed by a warm, damp towel can be used. After the recommended time, rinse the product off thoroughly with lukewarm water and proceed with your cleansing or extraction routine.
