To use a face mask properly, follow these general steps:

1. Start with a freshly cleansed face by washing away dirt, oils, and makeup.
2. Using clean hands or a brush, apply an even layer of the mask to your face, avoiding the eyes and lips.
3. Leave the mask on for the recommended time, usually between 5 to 20 minutes depending on the type of mask.
4. Rinse off with warm water if it is a wash-off mask or peel it off if it is a peel-off type.
5. After removal, follow up with a moisturizer to lock in hydration.

Additional tips:

• Protect delicate eye areas with an eye cream before applying the mask.
• Extend application to the neck area if desired.
• Use a sheet mask by unfolding it, placing it on the face to fit eyes, nose, and mouth, then leaving it on for the specified time.
• Always follow the specific instructions on the product for best results.

Routine sequence: cleanse → tone (optional) → face mask → moisturize. This method helps maximize the mask's benefits and keeps the skin healthy and hydrated.
