In the ever-evolving world of skincare, finding an effective facial mask treatment can pose a challenge. However, there’s a natural powerhouse ingredient that revitalises and strengthens your skin: spirulina. Accessible exclusively through professional skin therapists, our alga-based mask harnesses the extraordinary benefits of this algae, providing a revolutionary in-clinic facial treatment that strengthens your skin’s barrier and resilience.
The Power of Spirulina
Spirulina is a nutrient superfood that has been utilised for centuries. It’s packed with a remarkable variety of nutrients that are beneficial for both the body and the skin. Here’s why spirulina is a skincare hero:
- Amino Acids and Essential Fatty Acids: Spirulina is abundant in amino acids and essential fatty acids, particularly Omega 3 and 6. These components are crucial for maintaining healthy skin and combating inflammation.
- Vitamins and Minerals: Spirulina contains an impressive profile of 14 minerals and essential vitamins such as beta-carotene, B12, B1, B5, and B6. These vitamins are vital for the repair and maintenance of the skin barrier, ensuring your skin remains resilient and protected against environmental aggressors.
- Active Enzymes: With over 2000 active enzymes, spirulina helps accelerate skin regeneration and repair, making it a fantastic ingredient for healing and rejuvenating the skin’s overall complexion.
Benefits of the Alga-Based Mask
The alga-based mask is a standout in our professional mask collection, not only for its spirulina content but also for its other skin benefits:
- Suitable for All Skin Types: Whether you have diffused red, lipid-dry, oily, sensitive, or blemished skin, this mask is designed to cater to your unique needs.
- Cooling and Soothing: Perfect for calming irritated skin and reducing redness.
- Enhanced Penetration of Actives: The mask increases the effectiveness of any actives and creams applied underneath it.
- Hydrating and Smoothing: Spirulina provides deep hydration and smooths the skin.
- Skin Regeneration: Encourages healing and promotes a more youthful complexion.
How Your Skin Therapist Uses the Mask
Here’s how your skin treatment therapist can incorporate this mask into your bespoke facial treatment:
Application Steps:
- Preparation: To begin, your skin therapist will secure your hair with a headband and ensure its protection with folded tissues. Remember to inform your therapist if you prefer not to have the mask applied over your eyes and mouth.
- Mixing the Mask: Next, in a rubber bowl, your therapist will combine one sachet of the alga-based mask with 90ml – 110ml of tepid water, mixing until a smooth paste forms.
- Application: Your skin therapist will then generously apply the mixture to your face, ensuring complete coverage before the mask begins to set. It solidifies into a flexible film, which typically takes around 15-20 minutes.
- Removal: Finally, your skin therapist will delicately run their fingers along the edges, slowly lifting the mask from your forehead to your chin. For your comfort, keep your eyes closed until you’ve adjusted to the light.
Alternative: Base Modelage
For those seeking a spirulina-free option, our base modelage is an excellent alternative. This mask is applied in a similar manner:
Application Steps:
- Preparation: Follow the same preparation steps as with the alga-based mask.
- Mixing the Mask: In a rubber bowl, your therapist will mix one 50ml scoop of base modelage with 50ml of tepid water.
- Application and Removal: Finally, your skin treatment therapist will apply the mixture to your face and leave it on for 15-20 minutes before gently removing it.
Note: For optimal skin health and hydration, it’s essential to have a DMS base cream or vitamin mask underneath the alga-based mask or base modelage. Otherwise, the mask will deplete rather than nourish the skin.
In summary, incorporating the alga-based mask into your facial treatments can work wonders for your skin. Exclusively available through professional skin therapists, this mask, abundant in spirulina, offers a rejuvenating treatment. Alternatively, consider the base modelage for another effective means of enhancing skin health.
