What a jelly mask is
A jelly mask is a rubberizing, gel-based mask that our technicians mix fresh and spread in a thick layer. As it sets it forms a flexible, peel-off seal that holds hydration and serums against the skin. The setting process produces a cooling, soothing sensation that clients often notice immediately after exfoliation or extractions.
Because the mask forms a seal, it helps trap active moisturizers and serums at the skin’s surface while reducing immediate redness. The finished look is typically plumper, calmer and dewy. This profile makes the treatment suitable for every skin type, with particular benefits for dry, sensitive, or easily flushed skin.
How it's mixed and applied
At Perma Glow Shanna the jelly mask is prepared just before application so it sets reliably. It is applied in a thick, even layer that covers treated areas and then allowed to rubberize into its peel-off form. Clients can expect a cool, calming sensation as the gel sets; that cooling effect is especially welcome following manual extractions or light exfoliation.
While the mask is in place it functions like a temporary seal, keeping topical serums and hydrating products pressed into the skin. Removal is by peeling the flexible mask away once fully set. The technique avoids leaving residue and is designed to integrate with a facial sequence, so the jelly mask complements, rather than replaces, core facial steps.
Aftercare, feel and results
Results are often immediate: skin appears more hydrated and soothed right after removal. As an add-on to a facial, the jelly mask is offered as a short-service enhancement priced at $25 and scheduled as a 30 MINUTES add-on in most sessions. It’s a convenient treatment for Elmhurst clients seeking a quick hydration boost before returning to work or errands.
The jelly mask’s cooling, sealing action can reduce visible flushing and give a dewy finish without heavy oils. Elmhurst’s seasonal climate — hot, humid summers and cold winters — means many local clients value this extra hydration layer. If you have concerns about sensitivity or recent procedures, mention them when you book so our team can advise suitability.
