1. If you've never used a certain mask before, the first thing you should do is a skin check to see if you have any adverse reactions. Place the mask material on your elbow bend and wait 15 minutes. If there's no irritation, you can put the mask on your face.
2. For the best results, you should always rinse off your face before you apply a mask.
3. When gathering ingredients for the masks, you should be sure that everything's fresh. As soon as the mask is ready for use, use it right away.
