Collagen Lip Masks are anatomically shaped gel masks that fit your mouth. Their function is to moisturize and plump the lips. Although the volumizing effect has not been scientifically proven, some people appreciate this treatment as they find it hydrates and plumps up their lips, at least temporarily. You can do this every day or a couple of times a week. To start, prepare your lips, then apply the mask and let it work for the recommended shutter speed.
Steps
Part 1 of 2: Prepare the Lips
Step 1. Choose a collagen lip mask
This product varies based on several factors, such as size and flavor. For example, if your skin is dry or naturally plump, you should choose a larger mask. There are also flavored masks, so flavor is another factor that can affect your choice.
Most masks contain moisturizing ingredients. In case of allergy, be sure to read the INCI before proceeding with the purchase
Step 2. Exfoliate your lips
It is usually recommended to do a scrub before proceeding with the treatment, especially in the case of dry and chapped lips. You can use a specific scrub or massage a damp towel to remove dead skin cells.
Step 3. Dry your lips before applying the mask, otherwise it will not adhere properly
Furthermore, it is better to avoid diluting the product with water, in order to better absorb all its active ingredients.
Part 2 of 2: Apply the Collagen Lip Mask
Step 1. Remove the mask from the packaging
The masks are usually sold in a box containing single sachets. Take one, open it and remove the mask. Be careful, as most masks are packaged inside a liquid substance.
Step 2. Apply the mask to your lips
Make sure you cover them well, so that they can perform their function at their best. In fact, some masks far exceed the edges of the lips. Some do not have holes, so they prevent you from breathing through your mouth - keep this in mind if you have a stuffy nose.
Step 3. Let the mask act respecting the indicated shutter speeds
For the treatment to be effective, you need to let it work for about 10 to 15 minutes, but some require a time of 30 minutes or more. Read the instructions on the packaging of the product you have chosen. Set a timer to avoid taking it off prematurely.
In some cases it is recommended to lie down during the treatment because some masks do not adhere that much. There are also products that must be left to act overnight
Step 4. Once the shutter speed is over, remove the mask
Since it cannot be recycled, it must be thrown away after treatment. Afterwards, put on your makeup or go on with your usual beauty rituals.
