APPLY Clean skin in usual fashion and pat completely dry. Apply an even layer of FIRMA-FACE to all areas of the face and neck you wish to be treated. FIRMA-FACE can be applied all over face and neck, just like a mask. Allow FIRMA-FACE to dry and tighten - it takes approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
TIP: It is imperative to start with a freshly cleansed face. Even if you apply in the morning and your skin is technically "clean", we still advise that you cleanse and dry the skin before application.
TIP: Make sure you apply an even coat of FIRMA-FACE to all areas you want treated. Again, it should be applied like a mask in a visible, even layer.
TIP: Stay relatively still (expressionless) as it dries.
TIP: Wait for FIRMA-FACE to dry completely before removal. If it feels tacky to the touch, it is not ready. Wait a few more minutes until it is dry, then remove.
SPLASH Once FIRMA-FACE has dried and skin feels tightened, splash face several times with cool water to remove the FIRMA-FACE from the surface of the skin. Do not rub skin. Do not use a cleanser; simply splash 5 to 7 times with cool, clean water. Tap your skin with wet fingertips to gently remove residual FIRMA-FACE from the top of the skin. If you feel any FIRMA-FACE left on your skin, continue to run your wet fingertips over the skin's surface, gently tapping with wet fingertips, and splash again with water.
PAT Using a hand towel or a dry washcloth, gently pat skin dry. DO NOT RUB: just dab and pat until the skin is no longer wet with water. Within a couple of minutes the skin will begin to re-tighten, as the skin tighteners begin to work again. You are now ready to carry on with your usual skin care and/or makeup regimen.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Once you splash FIRMA-FACE with water and remove it from the top layer of your skin, the intense tightening will immediately go away. THIS IS NORMAL! Please wait a few minutes while the skin dries and the ingredients left inside your pores, lines and wrinkles dry and re-tighten. Please remember: this can take a few minutes. It is also important to remember that this is not an intense, targeted firmer. It is an all over, subtle firming beauty treatment and facial makeover. Under eye puffiness should look and feel diminished. Enlarged pores should look tighter. Lines and loose skin should appear smoother. But none of this happens until the skin has dried and the ingredients have had time to work.
ADDITIONAL NOTE: After application of your normal serums, creams and makeup, you will experience the same "release" feeling. But once the skin is dry, the FIRMA-FACE all over firming effect returns.
A: For women or men who have:
- Thin, crepy or loose skin
- Enlarged pores
- Under eye puffiness
- Visible horizontal and/or vertical lines and wrinkles
Q: How does FIRMA-FACE work?
A: The firming action comes from skin tighteners that settle beneath the skin's surface and deep into the pores, lines and wrinkles, where they shrink and tighten within the pore line and wrinkle walls.
Q: When will I begin to see results?
A: Once you rinse off FIRMA-FACE and pat dry, the firming effect becomes visible almost immediately (once the skin has dried and the product has had time to re-tighten).
Q: Does FIRMA-FACE work on all skin types?
A: Yes.
Q: I splashed FIRMA-FACE off as directed, but all of the firming effects are completely gone! What happened?
A: This is normal. Splashing the mask layer off the skin immediately releases the intense firming feeling. But as the skin dries, the ingredients left inside your pores, lines and wrinkles dry and re-tighten. This can take a few minutes. It is important to remember that this is not an intense, targeted firmer. This is an all over, subtle firming beauty treatment that can open up the eye area, de-puff the look of bags under the eyes, tighten the appearance of pores and give the skin an all over tighter look and feel. The effect is subtle but you can feel it and see it!
Q: Can I apply my moisturizer afterward?
A: Yes. As your moisturizer dries, you will feel the gentle re-tightening effect of FIRMA-FACE.
Q: How does it work with makeup?
A: It is compatible with all liquid and/or powder makeup.
Q: Will there be any white residue left on my skin after rinsing?
A: No. As the instructions say, the product rinses off and you pat the skin until damp. This sufficiently removes the topical layer of the beauty treatment.
Q: Does FIRMA-FACE replace InstA-Tox?
A: No. They are very different products.
Q: How is this different than InstA-Tox?
A: InstA-Tox creates an intense firm hold on targeted areas by creating a thin filler and film on top of the skin. FIRMA-FACE provides a moderate yet visible all over firming effect temporarily.
Q: Can I wear FIRMA-FACE and InstA-tox at the same time?
A: Yes. FIRMA-FACE is applied first and used as directed. InstA-Tox can then be applied to targeted areas on top.
