“This myth is an ordinary horror story from the Internet: there will be no harm, but it will bring much less benefit,” explains Natalia Antonova, expert and leading cosmetologist at Thalgo. - When hardened, the alginate mask acquires the texture of a soft, elastic elastic band, which, gradually tightening, compresses the face a little: this compression helps to drain the skin and provides a lifting and modeling effect. And if you walk around the room with such a mask, then you practically neutralize the result of this mechanical effect, but the useful components that make up the mask will certainly work."
One more point - alginate masks are recommended to be applied including on the eyelids (again, for the full effect), and only real ninjas can overcome obstacles without sight. There is no need to fear for eyebrows and eyelashes - they will remain in their usual places, and not on the mask. But if there are no problems with removal, then they may arise with application. This requires a special skill, so the first pancake will most likely be lumpy: you will apply the mask while standing in front of the mirror, which means that it may leak or begin to freeze ahead of time if this is not done quickly enough.

“Usually I start with the forehead, put a layer over the eyebrows, then move on to the outline, then work with the central part of the face, then with the chin and neck, and at the end I run to bed to apply a mask on my eyes,” Natalia shares her experience. - The key point is the texture (now there are many "semi-finished" products on sale, powders where you need to add water on your own): too liquid will leak strongly, not liquid enough - harden faster than you apply it. Aim for a thick sour cream texture or just buy a ready-made mask. ">
