Bubble face masks have become a real hit recently. But what exactly is the secret of their popularity? What are the beauty benefits of bubble masks and how to use them properly to make the most of these benefits? Read on to learn all about these amazing masks.
Bubble face masks, also known as carbonated face masks or oxygenated face masks, received their name because they create thick, bubbly foam upon contact with the skin. Although these masks have quite a few beauty benefits, the main thing that distinguishes them from other beauty products is the so-called oxygen micro-massage effect, which improves microcirculation in the epidermis and helps to transport active ingredients into the deeper layers of the skin. In addition, bubble masks are a safe and gentle way to cleanse the skin because they easily remove impurities, excess sebum and makeup residue from the skin surface.
Like many other innovative beauty products, bubble masks were invented in South Korea. The first brand to produce them was Elizavecca; its Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask still is one of the most popular bubble masks in the market. Bubble masks quickly became popular in Asia and then in the West. As a result, a lot of beauty brands, both Asian and Western, produce bubble masks that cater to different skin types and needs.
The effect of all bubble masks is based on the same principle: thanks to their active foaming, they gently massage the skin and boost the effect of all their active ingredients. Depending on the purpose of a particular bubble mask, its formula may include charcoal, cosmetic clay, natural plant extracts, allantoin and panthenol, hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids, and other active ingredients.
Bubble face masks are usually very easy to use. All you need to do is spread the mask evenly over your face with your fingers and let it work its magic for 10–15 minutes. Please keep in mind that the mask will start to foam as soon as it comes into contact with air and your skin, so you should apply it as quickly as possible. Because of this, some brands produce bubble sheet masks that are even easier to apply.
Once the time is up, wash the mask off with warm water (if you’re using a sheet mask, remove the mask and rinse off the residue). Depending on your skin type, follow up with a serum, moisturising or nourishing cream, or any other product that suits your skin. As a rule, it is enough to use bubble masks once or twice a week to see the effect.
As we’ve already mentioned above, bubble masks are produced by many beauty brands around the world. One of them is Ukrainian beauty brand Beauty Derm that offers both traditional bubble masks in compact sachets designed for a single use and bubble sheet masks. Let’s take a closer look at the brand’s traditional bubble masks.
Beauty Derm’s Intensive Hyaluronic Mineral Bubble Mask deeply moisturises and nourishes the skin, cleanses pores, boosts the skin’s elasticity and firmness, helps to prevent blackheads (comedones), and exfoliates dead skin cells.
The mask is formulated with diatomite (diatomaceous earth), a natural mineral ingredient that easily absorbs impurities and excess skin oil, helps to unclog pores and prevent blackheads, exfoliates the skin, and stimulates its regeneration and renewal.
Other active ingredients that can be found in the mask include green tea extract, Damask rose extract, phytoceramides, vitamin E (tocopherol), amino acids, and hyaluronic acid. They help to cleanse the skin and tighten pores, produce an anti-inflammatory effect, moisturise and nourish the skin, improve skin structure, enhances the skin’s natural protection from the environment, improve skin regeneration, help to make the skin smooth and supple, and neutralise the harmful effects of free radicals to slow down the ageing process.
