How to use a hydrogel mask

Hydrogel masks are jelly-like sheets that cling closely to your face. Biodance’s Real Deep Masks go on opaque and turn see-through as they absorb, and they are designed to be worn for hours or overnight.

Step by step

  1. Finish your evening routine on clean skin.
  2. Unfold the mask and smooth it on from the center outward, pressing out any air.
  3. Leave it on for a few hours or overnight.
  4. Peel it off and pat in any remaining essence.

How often

Once or twice a week is plenty for most people. Use one mask per night.

Choosing a Real Deep Mask

  • Bio-Collagen: the original, for deep hydration.
  • Hydro Cera-nol: ceramides and panthenol for comfort.
  • Radiant Vita Niacinamide: for dull-looking skin.
  • Refreshing Sea Kelp: a refreshing, balancing feel.

Tips

Patch test first if your skin is sensitive, and avoid the eye area. Use the cutouts from the eye and mouth areas on spots that want extra hydration.
