The essential oil mix also acts as a solvent to dissolve the excessive oil(sebum) on the skin and its removal off the skin and deeper layers on peeling of the mask.
In addition to the physical actions of the mask in binding with the dead skin cells,plugs in pores and blackheads,the mask is a unique delivery vehicle for the essential oils with which it is fortified.The mask is designed to deliver its active ingredients(Vitamin E,Tea tree oil and other essential oils).As the gel dries,it releases the active essential oils in to the skin.These penetrate into the skin with relative ease at an effective and safe concentration for the required period of time to aid the eradication of skin bacteria,condition and moisturize the skin and reduce any redness within the pores.The plastic film that forms as the mask dries forms an occlusive layer over the skin and enhances the penetration of the essential oils to the site of action for a much better performance than would be achieved by just applying the oils on to the skin.
In addition to imparting beneficial actions on the skin the essential oil mix also generates a state of relaxation and well being during the drying process.
