Hydrating Water Sheet Mask

We suggest that you use the mask on cleansed skin either in the morning or at night before any other products have been applied. You may then proceed with your normal skin care routine.

NEVER use a sheet mask twice. It holds on to the bacteria on your face and that bacteria only muliplies on the used sheet. It's is not a good idea.

This product is not a cleanser, it is a mask. The packet is similar to the sample/travel size masks you can get at stores like CVS, Target, etc. but it also contains a single use tissue sheet which is saturated with the liquid in the pouch. To use the product, open the pouch, carefully unfold the tissue mask and place it on your face, starting at the nose and smoothing it out as you go. The remaining liquid in the packet can be smoothed over the tissue and down the neck as well.

Urea is often referred to as carbamide the primary organic solid of urine, this is waste that has been produced by the body after it metabolises protein. Thankfully, the urea used in the cosmetic industry is from synthetic sources and not animal derived, it is formed from ammonia and carbon dioxide, and can be produced in either a solid or liquid form. As discussed earlier there are three forms of urea found in personal care products, hydroxyethyl, diazolidinyl and imidazolidinyl urea; often people get confused by these, but they are in fact two completely different ingredients. Diazolidinyl Urea andimidazolidinyl urea are antimicrobial preservatives used in the skin care industry. They are used to protect personal care products from bacteria, yeast and mould, they do get a lot of bad press as a preservative, due to the fact that they are proven formaldehyde releasers. Hydrovance, inci name hydroxyethyl urea is a potent humectant and considered safe as a cosmetic ingredient.

"Single-use mask" is not very clear. It could mean the package contains 3 single use masks, for example. So I checked the lower left corner of the package. It does say "Contains 1 sheet".
