Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Regarding Annafila Mask Products
How should the masks be stored?
Unopened packages can be stored at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Masks keep best at low temperatures thus refrigeration is the preferred storage method. Under refrigeration the product will remain at its best for (2) two years.
Why is it that sometimes skin still feels dry after using Uric-acid based mask?
Uric-acid-based masks will cause some users to experience dry skin after use. Dr. Chen explains that uric acid attracts water, that’s why it is used for maintaining moisture in the skin. However, when air conditions are very dry, the humidity in the air is lower than the moisture level in our skin. So the uric acid is not able to pull any water from the air to help moisturize the skin. Thus, the skin continues to lose water to the air. Dr. Chen suggests that after you remove the mask, while the skin is still damp, apply a moisturizing lotion or serum to capture the nutrients from the mask to keep skin hydrated. This procedure can be used with all types of Annafila masks.
What is the correct way to use a mask? Can I use it every day?
Womens skin differs greatly from one individual to the next. Regular use of Annafila masks should improve skin appearance and texture within the first week of the regiment. Most people only need to use the mask 2 or 3 times a week to achieve a noticeable difference in the tone and moisture level of the skin. For those with severely dry skin, daily use of the moisturizing mask is recommended to improve hydration.
Can I apply a mask while taking a bath?
Yes. While one is taking a bath, the pores open, so the serum on the masks are readily absorbed by the skin.
Can I put on make-up right after using a mask?
It is recommended that you do not put on make-up within one hour of using a mask. Because your pores are clean and open at this time. It is best to let the skin rest before applying make-up. If you must apply make-up after using the mask, cleanse skin thoroughly, then follow your usual steps for prepping the skin for make-up. It is best to use a mask before going to bed at night. It allows the skin to fully absorb the nutrients from the mask, since you don’t have to wash it off right away. You will notice a more moist skin in the morning.
How do I peel off the mask, from the bottom up or from the top down?
Definitely peel it from the bottom up! Because our skin is subject to the forces of gravity, so if you peel off the mask from the top down, it would just aid in the sagging of your skin and increase the likelihood for wrinkles. So whether you are applying skin care products or massaging your face, you should always work from the bottom up.
Should I wash my face after using a mask?
No, it is not recommended to wash your face after peeling off the mask. Also, do not throw away the aluminum pouch that the mask was stored in. There is still some serum inside. Pour it out and rub it on the neck and other dry parts of the skin. After you peel off the mask, you can still wipe your whole body with it. It not only moisturizes the face, it can also nourish the skin all over the rest of your body.
Can I use other skin care products after applying a mask?
After using a mask, your skin is already full of moisture, so any skin care product should be applied solely for the purpose of locking in the moisture. Especially when the weather is dry, the moisture in the skin is easily lost to the air, so locking in the moisture becomes quite necessary.
Can I wear a mask to bed?
It is not recommended that users wear the masks to bed. Once the mask becomes dry it will start to draw moisture back into itself.
