Limitations in the use of mask-film
If you have very sensitive skin, or if there are irritations and redness, or acne, and you can not use the scrub, then try using a mask-film. But the attitude to these cosmetic means is contradictory due to the tightening action. Masks-films contain in their composition alcohol, evaporating when the mask is dry. With dry and sensitive facial skin, alcohol may well cause excessive dryness of the skin and irritations.
The mask can not be applied to the eyebrows, lips and around the eyes. It is not desirable to apply a mask-film on the skin of the face with an abundance of fleece hair, because they can stick to the mask, and when it is removed, there will be painful sensations from pulling out the hair. And it is quite possible that on the site of hair torn hair can grow stiffer and darker instead of gun.
Use a film mask is not recommended if the face has small wrinkles. When the mask-film dries out, the skin contracts, wrinkles also contract, but during the removal of the mask, wrinkles stretch and become deeper and more noticeable.

Thanks to the creamy consistency, mask-film after drying creates a very soft film. It is torn from below and removed by layers. Contraindications for mask-films with latex are not available, they do not irritate dry and sensitive skin. Due to the fact that these masks are soft and not traumatic, when they are removed it is impossible to over-stretch the skin of the face.
Mask-film is a very productive cosmetic means to improve the skin and complexion in a very short time.
