    Do a good double cleanse. Apply toner. Maybe use lactic acid to plump it up a little. Give yourself a good massage with a mask. Do a creamy mask with upward strokes. Work on the drainage around the eyes to get the puffiness down. If you have a jade stone, you can work with those around the eyes too. A massage with a mask is going to give a glow, hydration, and will get the circulation going.

  • Question
    Can I just put it in water?

    Yes, but it won't give your skin the nutrients it needs to get that dewy look. You can try to rose water or some type of aloe solution.

      • The mask is made from natural cellulose fiber. The paper is dry and compressed; there isn’t any facial product embedded in the paper, so you need to prepare an additional facial product (such as egg, milk, syrup, clean water, etc.) when you use it.
        Thanks
