Brilio.net - Amidst the popularity of beauty products, collagen masks have recently been stealing attention. Not only because of its benefits, but also because of its unique shape like a jelly mask and feels like it blends with the skin when used. This mask is different from regular sheet masks because its texture is denser but still flexible, making it stick perfectly to the face without shifting easily.
The main attraction of this collagen mask lies in the collagen content which is claimed to be able to provide an immediate tightening effect in just one use. After use, the skin feels more supple , fresh, and looks healthy and radiant. No wonder many call it an instant solution for tired and dull skin, especially before an important event.
In addition to its benefits that are felt quickly, the cool and moisturizing sensation of this mask is also the reason why many people are addicted to using it. Compared to regular masks that tend to dry out after a few minutes, the collagen mask actually penetrates deeper into the skin, providing intense hydration while improving facial elasticity. It is no wonder that this mask has gone viral and become a new favorite among skincare lovers.
Unfortunately, this mask is not yet widely available in beauty stores. Therefore, many people try to make it themselves at home, as netizens did on the Instagram account @skincare.zombie. In one of the videos uploaded, she admitted to only using two kitchen ingredients to make a collagen mask, namely cucumber and rice paper.

Cucumber (from the water) and rice paper can be used as natural collagen mask ingredients because both have properties that support skin elasticity and moisture. Cucumber water is known to be rich in vitamin C, silica, and antioxidants that help relieve irritation, refresh the skin, and stimulate collagen production naturally. Its high water content also provides maximum hydration effects that make the skin look more supple and smooth.
Meanwhile, rice paper which is usually used for food turns out to have a soft and elastic texture after being wetted, resembling a ready-to-use mask material. Made from rice flour, rice paper contains natural compounds such as amino acids and starch which can help nourish and tighten the skin when attached to the face. When cucumber water is absorbed by rice paper, the two work synergistically, cucumber water provides nutrients and a cooling effect, while rice paper acts like a locking layer that allows nutrients to penetrate the skin more, creating an instant tight sensation like a collagen mask.
Now, for a clearer way to use it, check out the review that briliobeauty.net has summarized from Instagram @skincare.zombie on Thursday (15/5).

1. Wash the cucumber thoroughly, then blend and strain the water.

3. After that, dip the rice paper into the cucumber water until it is wet and the texture becomes a bit sticky.
4. Then, apply it to your facial skin and let it sit for 5 minutes.
5. After that, lift the mask. That way, the skin of the face will feel fresher and tighter.
