Top 10 Reason Why Biocellulose Sheet Masks Are Naturally Superior

Top 10 Reason Why Biocellulose Sheet Masks Are Naturally Superior

1. If you are an ingredient-conscious consumer...

Mask Moments specialty sheet masks are made from fermented coconut fruit extracts, unlike your average cloth-like face mask.  Cocos nucifera (coconut) extract (not to be confused with the comedogenic coconut oil) is high in protective antioxidants and antibacterial fatty acids that improve skin elasticity and help prevent premature aging and wrinkles. Coconut water also relieves redness, sensitivity, acne while soothing and hydrating. This helps slow down the aging process.  If you are an ingredient-conscious consumer, these masks are made of all natural material chock full of antioxidants with no parabens, sulfates or phthalates.

2. 10x hydration and absorption

Biocellulose contains high concentrations of antioxidants and humectants that help protect and strengthen the skin barrier.  Higher moisture content means increased hydration. Combined with the most effective natural ingredients and the most advanced technology, biocellulose sheets ensure 10 times the absorption into the deeper layers of your skin. Serum from low quality masks evaporate quickly and tend to sit on top of your skin, leaving you look wet than really hydrating. Mask Moments outperform the cosmetic effects by including highly concentrated active ingredients, providing longer lasting hydration and ensuring deep and effective absorption. 

3. Second skin fit

The no-drip, no-slip Mask Moments biocellulose masks adhere to your skin with a contoured best fit, like a second skin, creating a seal for maximum absorption and hydration while giving you full mobility. Yes, you can multitask while taking Mask Moments!

4. Convenient and easy to apply

Mask Moments sheet masks allow for a mess-free application that is neither drippy nor sticky unlike your average sheet masks. Remember that Mask Moments include two protective covers: remove one first, apply by smoothing onto skin, then remove the other cover for best results.

5. Best Value AND Glowing Results- the best investment you’ll make!

Consistent use with one of our subscription plans will ensure glowing skin and the results will be comparable to going to a spa. Don’t let facials be a one time, special occasion event, but rather, make it a routine and a lifestyle of skincare and self-care for your healthiest skin yet! Mask Moments cuts out the middleman to deliver you the highest quality of masks without the typical retail and brand mark ups. This means that the value goes straight to your pores rather than the pockets of the retailer.  You’ll find that it is the most worthwhile investment to maintain youthful skin.  

6. Biodegradable and cruelty-free

The process of fermenting coconut water helps create natural fibers for our mask. That makes our material biodegradable and 100% natural. We want to do our part to be environmentally conscious while delivering real results!  (We also don’t test on animals and use tested, proven ingredients in nature and science. More on different types of sheets here.)

7. Anti-inflammation

Did you know more than 40% of professional facials focus on calming inflammation? From pollutants to stress, inflammatory triggers from our lifestyle and environment IRRITATE our skin.  It shows as blotchy redness, early signs of aging, uneven hyperpigmentation spots, breakouts and dry skin! Inflammation causes our skin’s collagen and elastin to break down at a faster rate and causes fine lines and wrinkles to appear earlier due to a weakened moisture barrier.  Focus on relieving and CALMING inflammation regularly in your skin routine! Mask Moments biocellulose, sometimes referred to as coconut jelly, is naturally healing and cooling, calming your skin.

Remember that inflammation causes aging. Redness, irritation, rash-like bumps, acne or sunburn are all types of acute inflammation and you may even be having an allergic reaction. When it is chronic, it can become eczema, psoriasis or rosacea. The good news is that this can be prevented by using our naturally cooling masks made of coconut!. Not many people talk about this in skincare but anti-inflammation is a key component of antiaging.  Aim to soothe, relieve, calm and cool skin with Mask Moments. (What to do if you have sensitive skin.)

8. Naturally Antimicrobial (Translation: great for acne!) 

Coconut water contains an anti-microbial powerhouse, lauric acid, that helps protect against skin infections. It also contains a protein called cytokines that is responsible for encouraging cell growth and cell activation. They regulate signals in response to inflammation caused by acne that have anti-aging effects on the skin. Both external and internal use can improve wrinkles, fine lines and dark spots.

9. Breathable.. aaah!

Unlike the average face masks, biocellulose masks by Mask Moments are BREATHABLE.  Leaving on other types of masks on your skin for longer than the recommended time will cause irritation and can have undesirable effects. This is true for cloth-like types, cotton, fabric, and especially hydrogel masks.  Bio-cellulose is the only material that allows your skin to breathe while masking and can be left on the longest without irritation. For best results, try leaving on Mask Moments until the masks thin out and your skin has fully absorbed the ingredients. 

10. Naturally healing

Biocellulose sheets were originally developed to treat burn wounds and are naturally healing!

Is your ALL-NATURAL Clean Beauty Product actually SAFE?

Is your ALL-NATURAL Clean Beauty Product actually SAFE?

 

 

“Clean beauty” is definitely a growing trend within the beauty industry, so I want to address what the terms we hear, like “natural/organic” really mean. I must start by informing you that these terminologies are not legally binding and there’s no regulation when it comes to brands using these terms.  In other words, a lot of it can be marketing! (think “non-toxic” or “hypoallergenic”)

 

When we hear “natural/organic,” we assume that such products are more “gentle.” However, beauty products are really talking about the purity of the ingredients when we say “natural” or “organic.”  There’s a danger here though, because in reality, many people have reactions and irritations to pure ingredients. (Think of all the things in nature we are allergic to, and it depends on the person!) So “natural/organic” is not necessarily safer, and in fact, so many more synthetic ingredients are better tested in labs to be safe for your skin!

If you swear by natural/organic beauty, that’s fantastic, but remember that lab tested ingredients may often be more effective, too.  For example, some people like DIY skincare with ingredients made at home (using lemon, honey, coconut oil, avocado oil etc.). Doesn’t get any more natural or organic than that!  But when used incorrectly, this can backfire and you can have irritation, whereas lab products are tested for safety and formulated in controlled in dosaged. I’ve heard some Youtubers claim they don’t use products with ingredients they don’t recognize. Beauty is personal, so  that’s a choice that I respect. But, beware when assuming that everything in nature is “safe” and “gentle.” It’s also an assumption to think that all “synthetic” or “chemical” is always “bad.” Rather, tons of lab-made, science backed ingredients are synthetic (and “chemical”- everything is a chemical you guys!) and often much better tested and can be MUCH more effective! Think of all the anti-oxidants that are lab made and work in different pathways to support anti-aging. Who are we kidding? After all, we’re trying to FIGHT nature here when it comes to anti-aging! There are also other agents that help certain ingredients absorb better or simply act as emollients.

Another example is when people fear “alcohol” in the ingredient list.  What you want to stay away from is any drying alcohol (which Clean Beauty products do not use) but some types of alcohol serve as emollients and can be hydrating. The other word people fear is “preservatives” but what you want to avoid here is toxic preservatives (listed below). All cosmetics must have certain formulations to preserve your product for your sake!  If you’re making a home made product using ingredients you bought at the grocery, you must use it right away or these products will go bad and will have an adverse effect on your skin!  

The beauty industry has come a long way and very few brands would dare include a “toxic” ingredient in their product and add anything that’s unnecessary. More specifically for “Clean beauty” though, this means that they  do not include the following: parabens, sulfates SLS and SLES, phthalates, mineral oils, formaldehydes, formaldehyde-releasing agents, retinyl palmitate, oxybenzone, coal tar, hydroquinone, triclosan, and triclocarban.

It can also  mean that they either have 1% or less synthetic fragrance and don’t use dyes.  Clean beauty brands are generally also cruelty-free, eco-friendly and sustainable. 

In case you were wondering, Mask Moments masks also fall into the natural and clean beauty category. Our premium bio-cellulose sheets are all-natural, made from fermented coconut water, which has naturally healing and restorative properties.  These sheets are also biodegradable and eco-friendly. They hold fluid 100 times its dry weight and 10 times more than fabric or paper mask sheets!

Our serums include the best, proven ingredients of nature and science that are known to be effective and take caution not to add any unnecessary ingredients.  We include NO synthetic fragrance and less than 1% of diluted essential oils- only enough to provide the aromatic therapy that calms your mind and brings focus to your senses, but not to irritate your skin!
