After being prepared into a uniform paste with water, the powder is coated, and then gradually forms a film (sodium alginate and magnesium are combined as insoluble colloid), which can be removed. When water evaporates, there is a sense of contraction.

Facial mask is a kind of cosmetics that has been used for a long time. As far back as the pyramidal era of ancient Egypt, it has been known that some natural materials, such as soil, volcanic ash, sea mud, were used to apply on the face or body to treat some skin diseases. Later, it was developed that lanolin was mixed with various substances such as honey, flowers of plants, eggs, coarse flour, coarse beans, etc. to form a paste, and then applied on the face for habitual beauty or treatment of some skin diseases.
The Egyptians spread this skill to Greece, then to Rome, and finally to Europe. In the 8th and 9th centuries, the development of civilization moved to the Middle East and helped to promote the European Renaissance. In the Renaissance, cosmetic chemistry and essence industry, which were subordinate to the medical discipline, made great progress. In the 17th and 18th centuries, most cosmetics were produced in family workshops. It was not until the 19th and 20th centuries that significant changes took place and the cosmetics industry was gradually formed.
Facial mask became popular in the Tang Dynasty of China and was popular among aristocratic women. It is recorded in ancient books that Princess Yang Guifei used ruby paste made of fresh almond, light powder and talcum powder, supplemented by borneol and musk, and egg white.
In the 1970s and 1980s, the development of facial mask gradually shifted from relying on nature to scientific technology. At present, products with clear efficacy and scientific support have become the demands of consumers.
