Ready-made store masks Libriderm, Faberlic, Anskin, Velinia, Tiana, Malavit, Belita, Meitan, Ecolab, Mirra, Christie, Beauty Style, Tentorium, Korean products and so on, of course, are good, but even if you are not satisfied with the name, their quality or you have nowhere to buy, then you can make such a tool yourself. The simplest recipe for a regular alginate mask is:
– alginate – 25-30% of the total mass of the finished product;
– diatomaceous earth – 70-75%;
– plasticizer – calcium sulfate or calcium chloride – 1-2%;
– mineral.

Diatomite is not sold everywhere, so you can replace it with cosmetic clay or pearl powder. Ready-made masks cannot be stored, because they tend to harden quickly, so after preparation, the product should be used immediately. Don’t put them in direct sunlight either, as it dries faster. Depending on your skin type and the problems you plan to solve, you can add different components to the composition – spirulina, kelp, extracts, vitamins that provide additional nutrition, hydration and rejuvenation, cosmoteros, sakura branch.
