The boom in Asian masks in attractive packages began several years ago. China, Korea, Japan regularly present their products on the Russian market in any price segment: from budget to very expensive. Fabric masks attract, as a rule, ease of use and effect, which with regular use becomes obvious.

Disposable tissue fixtures are made according to the type of napkins, saturated with the care complex, with convenient cuts in which the mouth, nose and eyes are located. The product is distinguished by purpose, by skin type, composition. You can choose the care line for any person, with medical, anti-aging and other functions. As part of the fabric masks you can often see: herbal ingredients like chamomile, green tea, aloe vera, algae extracts; extracts of animal origin, hyaluron, synthetic components.

There is no need to beware of the latter, since it is the “synthetics”, for example, adenosine or niacinamide, that perfectly stimulates cellular metabolism, protects the skin, restores its condition. In addition, it is the synthetic part of the composition that affects the production of collagen, it depends on it the youthfulness and health of our face. Plus, these substances do not allow melanin to be produced, which prevents pigmentation.

Let us examine the pros and cons of the most popular components of cosmetic products of this type today.

It is a hit of modern cosmetology, because it is mucin that has a positive effect on mineralization, it contains natural moisturizers, protein, hyaluron in its natural form, salts of mineral type. He qualitatively "builds" a snail shell. Mutsin perfectly copes with the withdrawal of free radicals from the skinthat provoke the aging process. Among the obvious advantages are keratolytic (exfoliating) function, anti-inflammatory effect, synthesis of elastin and collagen, moisturizing property. Mutsin as if envelops the skin with a protective film, through which oxygen easily penetrates, but moisture does not evaporate.

Mucus, unlike mucin, additionally contains water and protein of a complex type. She is actively involved in creating the structure of the skin and the production of anti-aging substances; due to mucus, fibroblasts do not lend themselves to the harmful effects of the external environment, such as ultraviolet radiation. Under the influence of UV, the number of fibroblasts abruptly decreases, the skin is broken, wrinkles appear, the pores expand, elasticity is lost. The secretion of snail mucus restores this balance, keeping the level of collagen, elastin and hyaluron at the right level.

The main proven effect of procedures with hyaluron is lifting and rejuvenation.This substance is capable of creating a light protective barrier between the skin and the external environment, keeping the level of moisture at the required level. At the same time, oxygen metabolism in the cells does not slow down. Hyaluron perfectly fights different types of wrinkles: deep, shallow, mimic; it literally fills them, smoothes them out. This is an indispensable component for dry skin type, it fights against any peeling, maximally nourishing the skin with moisture.

It has long been known that it is this substance that is responsible for the connection of tissues in the body, together with it this function is shared by elastin. This tandem is necessary for the skin in order for it to be smooth, elastic, elastic, in order to enhance its protective functions, to release free radicals. Rejuvenating effect, strengthening of blood vessels, a positive effect on metabolic processes - for this it is necessary to saturate the skin with collagen.

We can not discount the useful properties of honey for the skin, especially since our body is able to absorb one hundred percent. It has nearly three hundred compounds and elements that are beneficial to the health of the skin. Vitamins of group B and C, zinc, polyphenols moisturize, heal, protect the epidermis, prevent aging, the appearance of irritations and inflammations, perfectly affect the metabolic processes. Due to these properties, honey makes the skin soft, cleanses it, fights dryness and wrinkles.

But if there is a liquid left in the package, the tool itself, you can use it, it is convenient to apply it using a regular cotton pad.
