Natalya: Good moisturizing mask
Hello, dear readers!
I think many people are familiar with the skin condition when dryness, tightness or even flaking appears. This means only one thing - you need to replenish the lack of moisture. This can be done both from the inside (by drinking enough water) and from the outside (using special care products).
I have this mask for deep hydration of the skin “Frangipani and Mariana plum” from the Ecocraft brand.
*the product was received for testing thanks to the “Brand Invitation” service. Thank you very much to the site Ecogolik.ru and the brand!
Packaging : the mask is in a black plastic jar, with a twist-off lid featuring a watercolor design characteristic of the brand.
Volume 60ml.
There is also foil:
Milky mask:
Pleasant creamy consistency, not runny.
When applied it does not run off the face. Before the mask, I wash my face with cleanser and apply toner.
Leave it on for the prescribed 10 minutes and wash it off with water. I note that the skin seems to eat the mask in the driest places . It looks like this:
After use, the skin feels pleasant to the touch and you don’t want to apply cream.
Compound:
deionized water with frangipani extract, Mariana plum extract, mandarin extract, glycerin monostearate, xanthan gum, guar gum, vegetable glycerin, succinic acid, lactic acid, hydrolyzed collagen, hydrolyzed elastin, provitamin B5, high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, allantoin, vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin C, ethylhexyl glycerin, sodium benzoate, rosemary extract, aromatic oil.
*the service did not recognize the extracts (frangipani and marian plum fight pigment spots, help in the regeneration of the epidermis); two types of hyaluronic acid (it is responsible for hydration, regeneration, rejuvenation and improvement of skin structure); fragrance (unknown origin), hydrolyzed collagen and elastin (protect cells from free radicals, help prevent and fight aging: form a “framework” of the skin, supporting the epidermis and keeping it moisturized); glycerin (water-retaining component, softening, protective, moisturizing effect. Solvent, viscosity regulator, emulsifier).
Impressions from use:
— the mask smells nice, the aroma is delicate (I smell plum).
- this is a ready-made product, it is very convenient to use (you take it and apply it, you don’t need to brew it and wait half an hour).
— moisturizes well (the feeling of tightness and minor flaking has gone away).
— softens the skin, visually evens out the color.
— the jar was enough for 5-6 uses (face + neck and décolleté).
I really liked this mask, I will gladly repeat it!

Oily skin types need regular moisturizing, just like dry and normal skin types. There are ideal moisturizing ingredients for every skin type.
Fat type
Its shine means that the sebaceous glands are not functioning properly, which leads to rashes and inflammation. The course usually consists of applying 5 masks once every 3 months.
Normal type
Without applying moisturizing masks, the appearance of your skin can deteriorate significantly with age. The course of therapeutic masks for this skin type is 5 masks 2 times a month.
Dry type and mature skin
This skin type needs intensive and regular hydration. The course of moisturizing for dry skin is 15 masks over 30 days, followed by a month-long break.
Moisturizing is necessary for all skin types. The only difference is the purpose of their use and the regularity of application to the skin.
For normal skin type.
Normal skin type also needs additional hydration, like other types, to maintain beauty and prolong youth. This skin especially needs moisturizing masks in summer and winter.
