- Apply vaseline onto exposed facial skin. Be sure to apply onto eye brows and around nostrils.
- Apply damp eye patches to eyes -- vaseline will help to hold them.
- Dip plaster strips into water and begin to apply them horizontally high on the forehead.
- Overlap strips and smooth out the plaster in each.
- Apply only to the tip of the nose, then apply another under the nostrils and down to the chin.
- Apply the large square from the forehead to the nose tip.
- Apply vertical strips from the temple to the chin.

- Loosen around the edges of mask and remove.
- At all times make the person comfortable and give them the confidence that you will do a GREAT JOB!
