    Personally, I would use this once or twice a week. It really depends on your skin type.

    Yes, but it won't give your skin the nutrients it needs to get that dewy look. You can try to rose water or some type of aloe solution.

    Can you just put something like soap in?

    Not really, as the mask will not be able to absorb it as easily as water/liquid cleanser does.
