A method of preparing a facial masque and employing the facial mask for skin care treatment, said method comprising the steps of:
- preparing a dry powder masque component including a first water soluble colorant;
- preparing a liquid masque component including a second water soluble colorant;
- incorporating at least one therapeutic agent into at least one of the masque components;
- mixing said dry powder masque component and said liquid masque component to form a masque paste incorporating said at least one therapeutic agent to be applied to a person's face;
- during said mixing step, combining said first water soluble colorant and said second water soluble colorant to create a masque paste color differing from the color of said first water soluble colorant and the color of said second water soluble colorant;
- applying the masque paste to the person's face to form a masque having substantially the same color as said masque paste and which differs from the color of said first water soluble colorant and the color of said second water soluble colorant;
- leaving the masque paste on the person's face a sufficient period of time to harden the masque and to allow the masque to provide skin care treatment;
- and
- removing the masque from the person's face.
A colored facial masque for application to a user's face to provide skin care treatment and for subsequent removal from the user's face, said masque being formed from a masque paste produced by mixing a dry powder masque component with a liquid masque component, at least one of said masque components incorporating at least one therapeutic agent, said dry powder masque component including a first water soluble colorant and said liquid masque component including a second water soluble colorant, said first water soluble colorant and said second water soluble colorant operable to form the color of said facial masque when mixed, said first and second water soluble colorants prior to mixing having colors differing from the color of said masque paste and said facial masque and said masque hardening on the person's face during skin care treatment and prior to removal from the person's face.
