Hydrojelly Mask Benefits After Waxing
One of our favorite ways to pamper freshly waxed skin is with a hydrojelly mask. Great for any waxed area, you’ll immediately appreciate the benefits of hydrojelly masks. They’re a common facial treatment, but work on other body parts too!
After the deep exfoliation of intimate waxing, these masks provide hydration and healing. Vajacials are all the rage and for good reason. Especially sensitive areas are susceptible to ingrown hairs and irritation.
Using natural ingredients that infuse your skin with electrolytes and hydration, they speed up the healing process. When booking your next wax session, see if your esthetician offers this service. You could be missing out!
We’re looking at hydrojelly masks in depth today. Let’s get started!
What is a hydrojelly mask?
A hydrojelly mask is a nutrient-rich paste applied to the skin to repair and replenish. Formulated to protect your skin, they’re a popular approach to skin care. If you’re unfamiliar with this type of mask, we’re here to give you all the details.
What is in a hydrojelly mask?
Hydrojelly masks contain several natural ingredients that encourage your skin’s health. They have a few common ingredients that work together to create balance.
Algae, one of nature's super-ingredients, infuses skin with antioxidants and nutrients. It contains essential vitamins and minerals that heal and protect your skin. Algae also boosts collagen and fights signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles.
Oat and rice flours help soothe skin and tone down irritation. Containing vital amino acids, these ingredients enrich the skin and protect it from UV rays. They also increase the skin’s absorption of Vitamin C and repair environmental damage.
White willow bark rounds out the standard ingredients list. It provides phenolic acid and tannins that promote cell regeneration. After waxing, these compounds infuse skin with hydration and leave plump, youthful skin behind.
How does a hydrojelly mask work?
Once a hydrojelly mask is applied, the real work begins. Your esthetician applies the mask and lets it set. The sealed-in moisture and nutrients are pulled into your pores to work their magic under the surface. You won’t feel a thing, but the ingredients work together to promote your skin’s health!
What to expect with a hydrojelly mask post-wax
Skin after waxing is sensitized. While it adds time to your appointment, the benefits of hydrojelly masks are worth your time. They can reduce inflammation and promote a smooth healing and recovery process.
Hydrojelly masks soothe freshly waxed skin
Waxing is a deeply exfoliating treatment. It removes the top layer of dead skin cells and leaves behind glowing skin. However, some of that glow may come from irritation, as your body hairs have been removed too. Applying a hydrojelly mask heals and soothes freshly waxed skin by infusing it with nutrients.
If you’re susceptible to ingrown hairs, this treatment helps reduce them. Vajacials aside, any waxed skin benefits from a mask. Backs, arms, legs, butt, and intimate areas thrive with this modality.
The hydrojelly mask nourishes your skin and provides nutrients
We don’t always think about nourishing our skin post-wax. Most skin concerns come from a lack of hydration and vitamins and minerals. The ingredients in hydrojelly masks are rich in antioxidants and amino acids that your skin needs to look its best.
By putting these nutrients directly on your skin, you give it the best opportunity to work. As skin treatments, they reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and leave your skin dewy and glowing!
What makes the hydrojelly mask different from other masks?
With most masks, algae and clay are the main ingredients. While they are still beneficial, much of the moisture evaporates during application. Hydrojelly masks don’t contain clay and drive nutrients and moisture into your skin! Instead of just clarifying, they promote a healthy complexion and happy skin.
Hydrojelly masks actually start off as a powder
You’ve probably seen traditional jelly masks or used them in the past. They are primarily formulated for hydration and leave your skin fresh and clean.
When your esthetician prepares a hydrojelly mask, they start with a powder. Once mixed and applied, the mask solidifies and seals in the good stuff. Like sheet masks, it's easy to peel off after the mixture has done its work.
There is a wide variety of hydrojelly masks
Masks are all about customization, and hydrojelly masks are no different. There are formulas for most skin concerns that contain beneficial ingredients. It’s common to see masks for moisture retention, acne-prone skin, anti-aging, and hyperpigmentation.
Other parts of your body can actually benefit from hydrojelly masks
While we’ve discussed some applications of hydrojelly masks in facial and intimate areas, they’re effective in other areas. Anywhere you experience skin concerns can benefit!
