Review (5/5): The next big thing in skin care
You have to know what this is before jumping in. I did but had still never done it or gotten one, and I find that whisking it is the only way to mix it right; not with a spatula, or a with a fork or spoon. I don't think it matters temperature of water as long as it's not too hot, just make sure to steam first or you can microwave some water in a bowl for 30 sec and put the towel on your face (if not too hot!!!) and then use the rest of the water for the mix. Add equal parts water and powder, I find its best to use the whole package for one mask or else I have to end up making more, but if you're experienced you will have a better time. Wait a couple minutes and then use a face spatula or fingers or w/e and paste it on your face, you can even put it on your eyes and mouth but I haven't done that completely yet. Just make sure it's AT LEAST like runny honey, it may run at first but it should leave residue- scoop/pat that stuff up every couple strokes to keep the application kinda even. Make sure there are no holes and then lie down or position in some way where your face is flattish (you can use a pillow, don't hurt yourself). As it dries, I have experienced some minor holes, maybe because it was too thin? But it's super easy to just use your fingers and mush it back together. Leave it on for like an hour, or two, or just 30 min. Some people say put a serum on first, to lock in the treatment with the mask; some experience a bad reaction, potentially mixing incompatible ingredients. So just aim for what you know, this mask is an amazing experience just the way it is. It's tricky and SUPER MESSY (only deduction) but when I took it off my jaw literally dropped. I never believe reviewers when I read that but I swear it. Of course, the effects were gone by the next day, but I've only done it successfully twice. If it's going on clumpy, it is not going to be even close to the same result, you need to whisk that baby. Hope this helps.
