Face masks are a reliable way to soothe, moisturize, and cleanse your skin in no time. Biocellulose masks deserve a separate discussion.
What are biocellulose masks
Imagine the whitish coating that appears on fermented wine – the result of the activity of acetic acid bacteria. Exactly the same coating is formed during the fermentation of coconut juice. Korean scientists have learned how to get the thinnest (1000 times thinner than a human hair) fibers from it and weave them into a high-tech fabric – biocellulose.
The new material has unique properties. The main advantage of biocellulose is its ability to absorb and retain many active ingredients. In addition, this fabric is completely natural. It perfectly nourishes and restores dehydrated skin, including after salon procedures – for example, deep peeling, mesotherapy, laser resurfacing.
Biocellulose masks save after salon peeling.
Together with collagen, hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, a biocellulose mask (also called a biomask) generally works wonders.
