No water necessary, just a fine serum left behind to massage into the skin.

This two-step mask system starts with a special serum that is massaged onto the skin. Next, a thick rubber mask is placed over the skin to prevent the serum from evaporating. This process allows for deep penetration and encourages a firmer, more lifted complexion. You get the added bonus of looking like a blow-up doll while wearing it.
