With the development of technology, mobile phones have become widely used in society. We use them to search for information, socialize, and they have become an essential tool for us. Many female friends have a habit of using their phones while applying face masks. So, can we use our phones while applying face masks?
Actually, it is not advisable to use our phones while applying face masks. This is because when we apply face masks, the pores on our face will become larger to absorb the essence from the mask. However, mobile phone radiation is relatively high and can directly affect the absorption of the mask by our skin.
1. Choose the best time
Our skin repairs damaged cells from 12 AM to 3 AM, so applying face masks before this time can help the nutrients penetrate the basal layer of the skin along with new cell metabolism. My suggestion is to apply the face mask at 10 PM because our body starts detoxifying at 11 PM. Sleeping after 12 AM can cause skin problems associated with staying up late, which is difficult to remedy even with a face mask.
2. Ensure skin cleanliness
Before applying the face mask, it is important to thoroughly remove the oil, sebum, and aging keratin on the surface of the skin. This will make the basal layer cells of the skin more active and allow the facial skin to absorb more nutrients. Therefore, before applying the face mask, remove makeup and cleanse the face thoroughly. Remember to exfoliate the face weekly to ensure smooth absorption of the essence in the mask.
3. Moisturize the skin
Before applying the face mask, ensure that your facial skin is moisturized because moist skin can better absorb moisture and nutrients. For dry skin, you can apply a layer of toner or use a hot towel to apply heat to the face for 3 minutes to help open up the facial pores and enhance the effect of the face mask.
4. Cleanse residual mask
After removing the mask, use clean warm water to wash away any remaining residue on the face, and then use a cold towel to apply to the face for a moment to shrink the pores. Finally, apply moisturizing skincare products. Pay attention to the toning step. If not handled properly, some cleansing or exfoliating masks can cause skin damage.
