To keep your 2 day a week facials going I realised you could just do a 30 minute mask when short of time.

Further more you could do these 30 minute masks first thing in the morning on busy days; this way your skin will start to improve as you will be able to fit face masks into you busy schedule.

On hearing women complain about serums and that they don’t work, I invented this idea to see what happened.

Basic Facial

Basic preparation for facials

I then thought of the idea of a facial you don’t have to wash off, to save more time.

(This idea was inspired by discovering how little exercise you actually need to do to stay fit or loose weight contradictory to what corporate style gyms dictate.)

As I have just received some Nivea products I have used these as the inspiration and vitamin C.

After cleansing my face I applied Nivea lip mask.

mini review

My mouth corners have turned down during covid so I wondered if firmness might turn them up again.

Need to use morning and night.

Then I applied Vitamin C under eye masks

How to use

After cleansing and toning, remove thin film and attach the eye masks on the under-eye area, then remove thick film. Leave for 15-20 minutes and remove the masks. Gently pat the remaining formula to absorb into the skin. Use 2-3 times weekly for best results.

Mini Review

You can do this facial even quicker ~ 15 ~ 20 mins.

A lot of makes do these so you can get your favourite brand.

Then I applied Nivea serum everywhere except where the eye masks were and obviously the eye area.

Also applied behind my ears and neck.

Next I sat back for 30 minutes and finished watching Bless this house the movie from the weekend.

Review of mask

Obviously there was nothing to wash off, just took the eye masks off.

The mask had sunk in really well.

The moisture was on the plumpest parts of my skin.

Where I wanted to plump was a bit dry.

Can you wear makeup after serum?

I applied more Nivea face cream.
