Description
As we age, the skin’s natural processes of cellular renewal slow and it loses elasticity and resilience. Firming Mask protects and fortifies, minimising the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while nurturing and hydrating for smooth, supple, enlivened skin.
Formulation: Rose, marshmallow and pansy support the skin’s natural processes of renewal. Rose petal extract, rose wax, rose essential oil and avocado and almond oils support elasticity as they pamper and enrich the skin. Mango butter and beeswax enliven and replenish. Applying this mask supports your skin feeling stronger and smoother.
Skin condition: For mature skin.
Usage
After cleansing and toning, apply a generous amount of Firming Mask to the face (include eye area), neck and décolleté. Remove after a minimum of 20 minutes with a warm, moist cloth. For additional deep cleansing and intensive care, we recommend using Clarifying Steam Bath and Clarifying Clay Mask, followed by Firming Mask.
Tip
Regardless of skin condition, the early development of wrinkles can be addressed by applying a generous amount of Firming Mask around the eye area as an eye mask once or twice a week.

Dr Hauschka Firming Mask, your questions answered
Q1. Who is a firming mask for?
Mature skin showing loss of elasticity and firmness, or anyone wanting a temporary tightening and lifting effect. Also useful for tired or depleted skin before an event.
Q2. Can I use it around the eye area?
Apply to the face following product instructions. Avoid the immediate eyelid and lash margin. A gentle firming mask can be applied to the orbital bone area, but check the current product instructions.
Q3. How often should I use it?
Once or twice a week as part of a treatment routine alongside your regular moisturiser.
Q4. Is Dr Hauschka NATRUE certified?
Yes. Biodynamic plant actives, no synthetic fragrance or parabens throughout the range.
Q5. How do I use it?
Apply to cleansed skin, leave for the recommended time, remove with a warm damp cloth. Follow with your serum and moisturiser.
Q6. What is the difference between a firming mask and a hydrating mask?
A firming mask prioritises lifting and tightening action, typically using astringent plant extracts and film-forming agents. A hydrating mask prioritises moisture delivery. For mature skin, firming suits a tightening concern while hydrating suits a dryness concern. Many people benefit from alternating both.
Q7. How long before a firming mask produces visible results?
The temporary tightening effect is visible immediately after removal. Longer-term skin firmness improvement from regular use develops over four to six weeks of consistent use.
