I'm not really sure what to do when when I take take the mask off, so I just let it dry on my face. Once I took the mask off my skin felt kind if sticky a but until it dried all the way. I have never tried a paper mask before so this was a first. The mask is nicely saturated so theres no mistakes there. It's like putting a puzzle together trying to get it in the right spots. It almost immediately started tingling once I got it on all the way so I knew it was working but I hadn't notice much of a difference yet. It's good for the price & the 1 use, so I'm going to try it a couple more times & see what happens!
