Korean Alginate Modeling Masks
The main component of the alginate mask is algin (sodium alginate) or sodium salt of alginic acid – a compound obtained from marine algae.
Alginates are unique substances that are found in large quantities in brown and red algae. Alginates, sodium, in particular, are considered to be absolutely safe components, excellent for creating masks, and one of their main properties is the ability to “stick together” water molecules. After mixing alginate with water, a jelly-like substance is obtained that contains many nutrients and minerals. When the material gets on the skin, it fills all pores and wrinkles, moisturizes and nourishes the skin well.
After application to the skin, the alginate base dries quickly, forming an airtight film with the ability to retain moisture in the skin cells. This feature is of great importance for the processes of regeneration and metabolism of the dermis.
Alginate facial masks completely fill even the smallest wrinkles and act on the deeper layers of the skin. Due to their texture and mode of action, they tighten and correct the shape of the face. In addition, these masks not only smooth wrinkles, but also cleanse and narrow pores, reduce rosacea nets, and increase skin elasticity.
