Step 1: Open your pores To increase the efficacy of your mask, open up your facial pores by:o Steaming your face.o Take a hot shower, or rinse your face with lukewarm water again then pat dry with a towel.Note: After 5 minutes the pores should have opened and the cream can be applied.Step 2: Apply the masko Apply in circular motion for guaranteed penetration into pores.o The activated carbon mask is sticky and difficult to apply, but you want to ensure that you get the perfect layer on your skin: Thin enough so that it can adequately dry, but thick enough that it actually picks up whatever is lurking in your pores.o If possible, avoid areas where you have a lot of fine hair because it WILL hurt when you peel it off.o You might need to give it a few tries before you find your optimal thickness.Step 3: Waito Ideally, the mask should dry in about 15 minutes. But this often varies depending on how thick your layer is.o Don’t rush it - be patient enough to just wait the extra couple of moments for it to dry all the way. It might take up to 40 minutes.Step 4: Remove the Masko Basically you can feel when the mask is dried.o It's crucial that you peel the mask upwards because that helps it pick up the most pore-debris.Note: hurts a little on removal.Moisturize your Skin It’s recommended that you moisturize your skin after removing the mask, especially if you have mixed or dry skin.
