What are alginate masks?

The main component of alginate masks is alginates. These are salts of alginic acid, which are extracted from red, brown and certain green algae. This acid is insoluble in water, which makes it possible to use it as a thickener and a source of minerals not only in the field of cosmetology, but also in the food industry and medicine.

Diatomite, or kieselguhr, is often used in tandem with alginates. This is a sedimentary rock, siliceous deposits that have adsorption properties, chemical inertness, resistance to acids and high porosity.

The masks will also include:

• plasticizer - a substance that starts the hardening process of the cosmetic mass (often sodium pyrophosphate is used for this);
• active components - they are responsible for the effect that is achieved as a result of using the mask.

The list of possible active ingredients includes various clays, revitalizing substances, and plant extracts. The composition is selected individually depending on the purpose of using the alginate mask and affects the cost of the product.

Types of alginate-based masks

Alginate masks are available in both powder and gel form. The former must be diluted with water before applying to the skin. Gel products do not require additional preparation and are ready for use after opening the package. The price is influenced not so much by the release form as by the brand of the product.

The products also differ in their effect on the skin:

1. For moisturizing. Alginates themselves are capable of well moisturizing and nourishing tissue, and to enhance this effect, hyaluronic acid, aloe and grape seed extracts, chitosan, marine collagen, etc. are added
2. For nutrition. They contain vitamins and other active substances that speed up metabolism and promote the natural production of collagen. Procedures using such masks have a noticeable lifting effect.
3. For toning. Saturated with antioxidants to normalize metabolic and regenerative processes. They help quickly bring the skin back to normal after the negative effects of external factors.
4. For cleansing. They regulate sebum production, cleanse pores from particles of dust and fat, remove the stratum corneum of the epidermis, and prevent the appearance of comedones.
5. To lighten and even out tone. They are worth buying if you have problems with pigmentation. The composition often contains ascorbic acid and strawberry extract.
6. Anti-inflammatory masks. Used to relieve inflammation after aggressive cosmetic procedures, soothe and soften the skin. Active ingredients include extracts of calendula, chamomile, aloe vera, spirulina and other substances with anti-inflammatory properties.

Separately, we can highlight a line of anti-aging alginate masks, the main goal of which is an integrated approach to the prevention of aging and the prevention of age-related changes. It is recommended to buy anti-aging products for regular use from the age of 30.

The principle of operation of alginate masks

Alginate masks are aimed at lifting tissue, reducing wrinkles, tightening the face and giving the skin a healthy color. Their feature is the ability to create a dense air- and moisture-proof layer. Thanks to it, the active components are completely absorbed through the pores without evaporating. The effectiveness of the mask can be increased by first applying serums or concentrates of different effects to the skin.

For the best result, it is important to exactly follow all the instructions for using the alginate mask:

1. First you need to cleanse the skin. You can not just wash your face, but carry out an intensive cleansing procedure with scrub or peeling. After this, apply tonic.
2. If necessary, additional active substances are used in the form of serums and concentrates.
3. The process of preparing the mask itself will be described on the packaging. The powder is mixed with water in the specified proportions. The mixture should be homogeneous, without lumps.
4. The mask is applied only in a horizontal position, otherwise the result will not be achieved. It is distributed over the face in a thick layer (3‒4 mm) from the chin upward. It is not recommended to touch the lips and area around the eyes. (By the way, there are special alginate compositions for the delicate skin around the eyes). Alginate mixed with water hardens very quickly, so you need to complete the procedure in a matter of minutes.
5. The mixture is left on the face for an average of half an hour. At this time, the muscles should be relaxed. There is no need to talk, especially if the mask is also applied to the lips.
6. The film is removed with one easy movement from the chin. The remnants of the mask along the hairline are carefully removed with a cotton pad moistened with water or lotion.

Alginate masks are recommended to be purchased and used 1-2 times a week.
