Which of the following actions does not relate to the purpose of masks?

1. Softening the superficial lines

2. Tightening and toning the skin

3. Drawing impurities

4. Hydrating the skin

The correct answer is: Softening the superficial lines

Applying masks is a fundamental part of a skincare routine for various reasons. The purpose of masks can include tightening and toning the skin, drawing out impurities, and hydrating the skin. However, masks are not typically designed to permanently soften superficial lines. While masks can make the skin appear more plump and hydrated, they do not have the capability to permanently soften or diminish fine lines and wrinkles. Therefore, option A is the correct answer as it does not directly relate to the primary purposes of using masks on the skin.
