Is it okay to do a facial mask in the morning?

In order to make their skin look better when putting on makeup in the morning, many women usually apply a facial mask in the morning. Is it good to apply a facial mask in the morning? In fact, the best time to apply a facial mask is around 10 o'clock in the evening, because the body's metabolism is faster at this time, allowing the skin to absorb more nutrients. If you must apply a facial mask in the morning, try to do it before 7 o'clock, and only apply a hydrating mask, not a whitening mask.

1. Apply a facial mask in the morning

When the human body wakes up in the morning, after a night of rest, the skin will be very dehydrated. This can be easily discovered when washing the face in the morning. After washing the face in the morning, there will be a tighter feeling. At this time, it is most suitable to use a hydrating mask to replenish water. The best time is between 6:30-7:00. The skin absorbs the mask best during this period. But it is important to note that you must not apply whitening masks, because whitening masks contain many photosensitive ingredients, such as lemon extract. If you apply a whitening mask and then go out to be exposed to the sun for a whole day, your skin will only get darker.

2. Apply facial mask at night

Compared to applying a facial mask in the morning, applying a facial mask at night is most effective, between 10:30 pm and 2:00 am. At this time, metabolism in all aspects is relatively the fastest, and various organs of the body are also accelerating detoxification and metabolism. It is the peak period of skin metabolism. At this time, if the skin can be given the nutrients it needs for regeneration and repair, it is very important, especially for girls over 25 years old. However, the recommended best time to apply a facial mask is 22:30~23:00.

3. Remember the three correct points when applying facial mask

1. Use facial masks with caution if you have sensitive skin

Certain emulsifiers, preservatives, and fragrances can increase the irritation to sensitive skin, leading to the loss of interstitial cells and further damage to the skin barrier. Therefore, people with this type of skin should reduce the frequency and duration of facial masks. It is best to apply it for about 10 minutes each time, and avoid using soft mask powder, peel-off masks, and other masks that have a cleansing effect on the stratum corneum.

2. The mask cannot be reused

After using the facial mask, many girls will store the remaining essence in the bag in the refrigerator and use it to apply on their face next time. This is very bad. All essences and masks that have been in contact with the air and skin already carry a certain amount of bacteria, and they are all nutrients for the growth of bacteria. Even if you put them in the refrigerator immediately, it will not help. So don't lose the big picture for the small, and continue to apply the contaminated mask to your face!

3. Don’t apply facial mask every day

Many celebrities claim to apply facial masks every day, but don’t take it seriously. Facial masks are enhanced skin care products. Using them every day will only add burden to the skin. Even if you apply them every day, the skin will not have enough time to absorb all the nutrients. Moreover, keeping the skin in a mask environment for a long time will reduce the skin’s ability to repair itself and its own resistance. Therefore, it is recommended to choose a functional mask for 2-3 times a week according to the needs of your skin for enhanced maintenance!
