Which type of mask is applied quickly and dries to a rubberized texture?

Alginate masks are derived from brown algae and are known for their quick application and unique rubberized texture once they dry. These masks are mixed with water and applied to the skin, where they start to set almost immediately. As they cure, they form a flexible and rubber-like layer that can be peeled off, making the removal process easy and effective.

The rubberized texture offers several benefits, including a cooling effect and skin hydration. Alginate masks also help in enhancing the absorption of other treatment products, as they create a barrier that locks in moisture. This unique property sets alginate masks apart from others, making them a popular choice in facial treatments.

In contrast, clay masks are typically used for their absorbent properties to draw impurities out of the skin, peel-off masks usually provide a film that adheres to the skin for easy removal but do not form a rubbery texture, and cream masks are meant to moisturize and soothe but do not dry to a firm finish like the alginate masks.
