The emergence of face masks has made women more confident and knowledgeable about skincare. Unconsciously, applying face masks has become an essential part of women's skincare routine. Many women think they know a lot about face masks, but in fact, applying face masks is also a science. We must pay attention to the following issues when applying face masks.
When is the best time to apply a face mask?
Nighttime is the peak period of metabolism and the best time for skin to absorb nutrients and repair itself. So, I want to tell you that it is best to apply a face mask at night! But if you want to apply a hydrating face mask in the morning, that's okay, but be careful not to apply a whitening face mask in the morning! Because it is easy for whitening ingredients to remain on the skin and form spots when exposed to sunlight.
Can used face masks be reused?
Many girls store the remaining essence of the face mask in the bag in the refrigerator and use it for the next time, but this is not good. The essence and mask sheets that have been exposed to air and skin have already been contaminated with a certain amount of bacteria, and they are a nutrient base for bacteria breeding. Even if you put them in the refrigerator immediately, it is useless. So, don't lose big because of small gains, and don't continue to apply contaminated face masks on your face!
Should face masks be applied every day?
Many celebrities claim to apply face masks every day, but don't take this statement seriously. Face masks are enhanced skincare products, and using them every day will only burden the skin. Even if you apply face masks every day, the skin cannot absorb all the nutrients in time. Moreover, keeping the skin in a face mask environment for a long time will reduce the skin's ability to self-repair and its resistance. Therefore, it is recommended to choose functional face masks based on the needs of your own skin and apply them 2-3 times a week for enhanced skincare!
Should the face be washed after applying a face mask?
Cleansing masks generally need to be washed off; moisturizing masks can be left on without washing. If the instructions indicate that it should be washed off, then it must be washed off.
Should skincare products be applied after applying a face mask?
Face masks are periodic skincare products, mainly aimed at replenishing deep nutrition to the skin. But without surface hydration and nourishment, what is obtained from the face mask can easily be lost. Therefore, after applying a face mask, you must continue to apply skincare products as usual.
Is it better to apply a face mask for a longer time?
The time for applying a face mask is not the longer, the better. Exceeding the time limit can lead to skin dehydration and lack of oxygen. In addition to following the instructions, you can make a rough estimate based on different face masks: for those with moderate moisture content, remove them after about 15 minutes to prevent the mask from absorbing moisture from the skin when it dries; for those with high moisture content, you can leave them on for a little longer, but remove them within 30 minutes at most.
