The Type of Sheet Mask-Hydrogel

What is ?

__

Hydro-gel masks offer better performance than low-end fiber and pulp masks. They are typically produced as a “mask system”, with top and bottom halves that are applied separately. Their product name is derived from the production process that blends cosmetic serums with gelatin, which gives the mask the feel of a cool, thin film layer. Hydro-gel masks require careful handling; the fabric is rather thin and prone to tearing. 

How made ?

__

Hydrogels are made of, well, gel, like the material used for burn victims. The mask is made of serums or essence made into gel, which makes it easier to wear because the jelly like mask sticks, or stays in place. There are some that are even made out coconut oil. It holds, and wraps around the face, unlike the cotton, or paper, mask, which moves around and sometimes slips off your face. How they stay in place makes it easier to absorb the skin goodies.
