April 24, 2023
Making a mask with flour is most familiar to fans of homemade masks, but did you know that? Using flour as a mask can actually bring some harm to your skin. Let's take a look at those bad effects of flour masks.

Dry skin

Using flour as a face mask may cause dryness of the skin. Mostly because when doing a flour mask, the time spent on the face is too long, after the mask becomes dry it is easy to in turn absorb the moisture in the skin, making the skin become tight and dry, and over time may also cause dry lines and fine lines. How to avoid: The time to apply the flour mask on your face should be controlled at 10~15 minutes, remove the mask before it becomes dry and clean your face.

Clogged pores

Using flour as a mask can easily clog pores. Especially when the flour used is not fine enough, it is easy to cause clogging of pores when applied to the face. In addition, the flour mask is not thoroughly cleaned in time after the mask is applied, also easy to cause pore clogging. How to avoid: After the mask is applied, rinse your face with warm water, wash the mask and then wipe it again with make-up to clean it again.

Acne

Using flour as a mask may cause skin acne. This kind of acne is mostly caused by the pores being blocked due to incomplete cleaning of the flour, and the oil and dirt in the pores has no channel for excretion and causes acne. How to avoid: After the mask is applied, rinse your face with warm water, wash the mask and then wipe it again with make-up to clean it again. If you already have acne, keep your skin thoroughly clean and suspend the use of the mask.

Sensitive skin

Using flour as a mask may cause skin irritation. Especially if you use flour as a mask too often, your skin is overly nourished by the mask and loses time to repair itself. Once you stop using the mask, your skin is prone to be sensitive and fragile, and its ability to withstand external stimuli is greatly reduced. How to avoid: The frequency of using flour as a mask is controlled to 1~2 times a week, so that the skin has time to rest.

Skin allergy

Using flour as a mask may cause skin allergies, especially if the skin itself is sensitive, when using a flour mask which contains uncontrollable impurities and other added substances may cause skin allergies or even inflammation. How to avoid: It is best to avoid using flour masks for sensitive skin, if you need to use it, you should do the skin sensitivity test in advance.
