Introduction to the correct use of facial masks

Everyone has the right to pursue beauty, and we all love beauty. In today's highly developed world, we can use some external factors to change our image, such as plastic surgery, makeup, skin care and so on. In daily life, facial masks, as a relatively effective facial care tool, have begun to enter everyone's life. So, how should we use facial masks correctly?

Correct method 1

Allergy test

Before using a new facial mask, you should first do an allergic reaction test. This step is particularly important, but it is most easily overlooked by girls. Apply a small amount of facial mask dressing on the back of your hand, wait for half an hour and then wash it off. If there is no redness or itching on the back of your hand, you can safely apply it on your face, especially for homemade facial masks. You should do an allergy test first.

Cleansing the face

Before applying a facial mask, be sure to remove your makeup, clean your skin thoroughly, and exfoliate if necessary. Clean skin is more conducive to absorbing nutrients in the mask and can also prevent dirt and dust from entering the pores.

Heat

In order to achieve better beauty and skin care effects, and to better exert the skin care effects of the mask, you should apply a hot towel to your face for 3 minutes after cleansing your face and before applying the mask, and massage various parts of the face for 3 to 5 minutes. This can fully open the pores and facilitate the absorption of nutrients in the mask. 4

Applying order

The order of applying the mask should be neck, jaw, cheek, nose, lips, and forehead, and apply from bottom to top, taking care to avoid the area around the eyes, eyebrows, and lips. It is recommended to start from the driest area, applying the T-zone first and then the U-zone. 5

Remove

After leaving the mask on for 15 minutes, press lightly with your fingers until it is no longer sticky. Then, start from the edge of the mask and slowly remove it from bottom to top. Usually, facial masks will tighten the skin and easily cause wrinkles after they dry, so remove the mask before it becomes dry. Do not leave it on for too long, and do not leave it on overnight. 6

Cold compress

After removing it, wash your face with clean warm water to clean off the mask residue, then apply a cold towel to your face for a while to promote pore contraction, and then apply moisturizer. Ladies, don’t forget the final astringent step. Some cleansing and exfoliating masks can easily cause skin damage if they are not well post-processed.

If we master the correct method of using facial masks, then we will achieve the ideal effect of facial care. If we cannot master these methods and use them randomly, we may get half the result with twice the effort. In serious cases, not only will it not beautify you, it may cause allergic reactions and cause symptoms such as erythema on your face. So everyone must use facial masks with caution.
