WELCOME

Hydra-Masque™

With age, hyaluronic acid levels in the skin begin to deplete and collagen production slows, causing the skin to sag and show its age. Hydra-Masque takes a stand against ageing – combining an electrically conductive hyaluronic gel masque with active microcurrent rollers that drive the active ingredients into the skin for intensive hydration and skin firming. You’ll love the plumping action, while your skin is left glowing and revived.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND HYDRA-MASQUE

of facial ageing.

Infusion (Iontophoresis): The micro-current infusion treatment pumps the active ingredients into the skin.

PATCH TEST

PATCH TEST ✓

Important: Always do a patch test with the Anti-Ageing Masque on an inconspicuous area of your skin for possible skin reaction. To test, tear a very small corner on one side of the gel masque pack. Remove a small amount of the liquid surrounding the masque and dab on your skin. Wait 24 hours. If irritation occurs do not continue treatment.

15

TREATMENT

Important: Before using Hydra-Masque, cleanse your face thoroughly. We recommend using Rio

Gentle Facial Cleansing Gel to ensure all traces of make-up are removed.

1. The Anti-Ageing Masque is packaged in two separate sections – one for the treatment of the upper face and one for the lower face. We recommend treating half the face at a time and treating the upper face first.

2. Hold the foil packet with the masque facing upwards and the tray underneath. Carefully tear the foil and remove the individual plastic tray.

16

TREATMENT

3. Lift out masque, unfold and place on the face. We recommend that you recline slightly when applying the masque, such as lying propped up on a bed or sofa. Ensure you have a tissue or towel available to absorb any excess liquid from the masque.

Tip:

To ensure correct positioning, have a mirror to hand when applying the masque.

4. Press and hold the power button to turn the unit on. The LCD display will illuminate, ready for you to select the intensity level.

5. Hold the main body of the unit so that your fingers grip the side plates.

17

TREATMENT

6. Apply the roller head to the masque. Increase the intensity by pressing the (+) button.

We recommend using a low intensity level

(1–3) for the first treatment. On higher levels, you may experience a mild tingling.

7. Switch the unit off by pressing the power button for 3 seconds. The unit will beep and turn off.

Note:

If at any time the tingling is uncomfortable, decrease intensity by pressing the (–) button. Some users may experience a metallic taste; this is quite normal.

18

TREATMENT

Treatment Zone 1

Starting above the eye socket, apply the rollers to one side of your forehead and slowly roll from the centre outwards, from your brow to hairline.

Once complete, repeat on the opposite side of your forehead.

Finally roll from between your eyebrows upwards towards your hairline.

19

TREATMENT

Then move to the under eye area. Gently roll outwards under the socket, following your natural bone structure and ensuring that the roller is at least 1 cm away from the eye.

Continue onto the cheek area, repeating on each side of the face.

Move onto the nose, gently rolling downwards using one side of the roller head on each side of the nose, then roll down the middle of the nose. Use small vertical movements or alternatively roll from side to side.

20

TREATMENT

Treatment Zone 2

Moving onto the lower jaw and chin area, begin on one side of the face, work from the cheek downwards and inwards to the mouth. Then follow above the jaw line around and under the mouth.

Repeat on the opposite side.

When treating the philtrum area directly under your nose, you may find it easier to use only one roller.

Finally, run the rollers from the lower lip to under the jaw line.

21

TREATMENT

Continue rolling as described for 8 minutes.

Once completed, lie back and relax for a few minutes before removing the Anti-Ageing Masque.

Post Treatment Boost

After removing the masque, for a post treatment boost, apply the roller directly to the skin, rolling over any residual fluid. This provides a final boost to help drive the active ingredients deep into the skin.

22
