How long should you apply the mask?

The air quality is very bad now, it is very dry, and there is no moisture in the air. If you stand outside for a long time, your face will become very dry and all the moisture will be absorbed. This will make your skin become very bad, so you need a facial mask to replenish water, but how long should you apply the mask?

According to the order of applying the mask, before applying it, you must arrange the time according to the characteristics of the mask: if the mask only contains moisturizing ingredients, then it is not a big problem to use it for a long time, you can take a nap or read a magazine while applying the mask; but if it is a weak acid exfoliating mask, long-term use may irritate the skin, then you must pay attention to the time, 15 minutes is appropriate.

When applying the mask, try to keep it close to the skin to reduce bubbles between the skin and the mask. It is also not advisable to talk, eat or laugh during this period. Firstly, the skin is not relaxed enough, which is not conducive to the absorption of nutrients; secondly, facial activities will cause the mask to separate from the skin, or destroy the original complete membrane, reducing the effectiveness of the mask.

If you have just done deep cleansing, such as skin scrub, it is best not to use an exfoliating mask, otherwise the new skin cells will be easily irritated. Skin with acne or wounds will be more sensitive and not suitable for applying facial masks. It is recommended to let the skin rest for a few days first.

The patch usually only takes 15-20 minutes. There is a lot of essence in it. If you think it is a waste, you can also apply it on your neck and hands to replenish moisture. The neck also needs protection. If I leave the mask on for more than 15 minutes, I’ll feel some discomfort on my face, so I usually take it off after 15 minutes, as I feel my skin can’t stand it after leaving it on for too long.

It is generally recommended to use it for about twenty minutes. After use, it is not necessary to wash it with water. In addition, the skin mainly depends on daily maintenance. The usual diet should be light and nutritious, eat more foods high in collagen, maintain adequate sleep, and relax.

The above is about how long the mask should be applied. The mask should not be applied for too long, because the moisture on the mask will also be absorbed dry, so after applying the mask, you should let your skin be in a resting state. Applying the mask at night is the best choice.
