What is a common effect of using a gel mask?

  1. Increased redness

  2. Hydration

  3. Dehydration

  4. Excess oil production

The correct answer is: Hydration

A gel mask is designed primarily to provide hydration and soothing benefits to the skin. These masks often contain ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, or other hydrating agents, which help to replenish moisture levels. The gel formulation allows for a cooling effect upon application, which can further enhance the experience of hydration, making the skin feel refreshed and revitalized. Unlike options that suggest negative effects like increased redness, dehydration, or excess oil production, the primary purpose of a gel mask is to deliver moisture and support the skin's overall health. This is especially beneficial for dry or dehydrated skin types, where replenishing moisture can lead to improved texture and appearance, ultimately aiding in a more radiant look.
