Preparation is easily the most undervalued, overly-ignored and quick win factor you can add to your face mask routine. Most are incredibly eager to put on a face mask and don’t spend the time beforehand cleansing the face. You need to get rid of any dirt or anything else that might be trapped in the pores.
A popular prep option is to fill a bowl with steaming hot water and place a towel over your head and hold your head over the bowl. This will help to dilate the pores, however you can often get a similar result if you just jump in the shower. If you do decide to try the bowl of hot water, make sure to be careful and keep your face a safe distance away as not to burn yourself.
