How to choose facial care products
- Match the mask to the facial. The Uhox labels describe Centella for calming, Collagen Moisture for moisturizing, Pearl with pearl powder, and Charcoal for keeping the skin clean.
- Massage cream comes off. A massage cream is worked over the skin and wiped off at the end, not left on like a lotion.
- Patch-test new products. Try a new serum or mask on a small area first, especially strong actives such as 10% niacinamide.

Facial care FAQ
How do you mix a modeling mask powder?
Uhox directions: mix powder and water 1:1 and stir for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth. Spread it over the face right away, keeping clear of the eyes, leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes, then peel the mask off in one piece.
What are the Mediheal Hydrogel jars used for in a spa?
They are light moisturizing gels for the face and body in large jars. Salons use them as a cooling gel on clean skin after waxing or a foot treatment. Aloe Vera is the aloe gel and Teatree Calming the tea tree version; both are for external use only.
How do I use a sheet mask in a facial?
After cleansing and toner, unfold the mask and fit it around the eyes and mouth first, then smooth it over the face. Leave it on for the time printed on the pouch, remove it and pat in the essence that is left; do not rinse.
