Medical Video: Weird Magnetic Face Masks w/ GRACE HELBIG (Beauty Break)
For you mask lovers, you may have tried various types of face masks. Sheet masks, powdered, clay shaped, what else? What about magnetic masks? The development of face masks is indeed more and more diverse. Actually what is the difference between this magnetic mask and how does it affect the skin? Come on, find out here about magnetic masks.
What is the difference between a magnetic mask and another face mask?
This mask is relatively easy to use. The initial method of use is the same as most masks. You can apply this grayish black cream to your face. Flatten the mask to all parts of the face you want. After that, wait 3-10 minutes. However, its use may vary depending on the instructions printed on the packaging of each product.
After that, when the mask wants to be removed, you don't use warm water or plain water here. This is what distinguishes magnetic masks from other masks.
Inside a magnetic mask wrap, there is a magnet as a lifting tool for the mask. Before being used for lifting, the magnet is wrapped first with tissue.
Once the magnet is ready, bring the wrapped magnet to the mask that you applied on the face. The mask will then be attracted and stick to the magnetic wrapper tissue. You don't need to press the surface of your face, the mask can be pulled by a magnet.
Magnetic masks according to experts
Dr. Whitney Dowe, a skin specialist (dermatologist) and also a beauty product advisory board commented on this magnetic method. Dr. Bowe said that this magnetic technology is becoming a conversation that is on the rise in the world of skin and facial care. Although actually this magnetic method has been used since ancient times, lately more and more products are marketing it. Magnets are actually thought to have a role in healing wounds and even help treat inflammation. However, this conjecture has not been scientifically proven.
According to Dr. Joshua Zeichner, researcher and dermatologist at Mount Sinai Hospital, United States (US), this mask contains particles such as iron metal. The presence of iron metal makes the mask can be lifted using a magnet.
During the process of removing the mask, the magnet creates a low electromagnetic current on the facial skin. These currents can help rejuvenate the skin. In addition, the mask also contains a mixture of hydration ingredients that can be calming as well as anti-inflammatory for the skin.
The time to use this mask is similar to a mask in general. He recommends using this mask once a week.
Another expert, Dr. Gary Goldenberg from the Icahn School of Medicine in the US, said that theoretically this magnetic mask should be able to moisturize and treat skin from damage or aging. However, Dr. Gary reminded that there have been no studies or clinical trials that can prove the effect of masks for the skin. Therefore, you must be careful before doing treatment with this magnetic mask.
Short and long term effects
According to Dr. Whitney Dowe, uFor short-term effects, this mask leaves a mixture of antioxidants and peptides to help strengthen skin tissue. This mask also leaves essential oils moisturizing the skin. As with most masks, this mask also gives a subtle effect and looks bright shortly after being released.
For the long-term effects this mask has not been known. Research on electromagnetic currents produced by magnets on body health is still rarely proven, let alone specific research on the long-term effects of magnetic masks on human skin.
