Do I need to apply facial mask every day?

Many teenage girls have only a vague understanding of skin care knowledge, and most girls learn some skin care knowledge and skills from salespersons at skin care counters. Many girls have seen their mothers applying facial masks since they were young, and they are very curious, do facial masks need to be applied every day? The usage of each facial mask is different. For example, a cleansing mask can be used once a week, while a moisturizing mask can be used every day.

1. Question: What is the best number of times to apply a facial mask?

Answer: 1. Moisturizing mask can be used every day.

2. Use whitening mask about 1 to 2 times a week.

3. Use anti-wrinkle mask 1 to 2 times each time.

4. Deep cleansing mask: For oily skin, use it about once a week; if it feels particularly oily, use it 1-2 times a week; for neutral skin, use it about once a week; for dry skin, use it about once every two weeks.

What I mentioned above is the normal number of uses. In some special cases, such as poor skin condition, bad environment and climate, etc., the number of uses can be increased. Even whitening and anti-wrinkle masks can be applied every day. The key is whether the skin accepts it. As long as the skin feels comfortable and has no symptoms, there is no problem at all. The only thing is that the frequency of use of deep cleansing masks should not be too high.

2. Q: How can I get the best effect of the mask?

A: If you want to get the best effect of the mask, you usually need to pay attention to three aspects:

1. You can apply a facial mask after getting up, before going to bed, and when taking a bath, because the skin's absorption capacity is the strongest during these three time periods.

2. Before applying the mask, remove dead skin and clean the dirt on your face to enhance the skin's absorption capacity; after washing your face, apply the mask while your face is still slightly hydrated. At this time, the stratum corneum is more hydrated and the absorption effect will be very good.

3. Don’t walk around when applying the mask. It’s best to lie down flat.

3. Question: Is it normal to feel a little stinging on the face after applying a mask?

Answer: The ingredients of facial masks are different, and each person’s acceptance and sensitivity to the ingredients are also different. If you feel a slight tingling sensation after applying the mask that disappears after a while, then it's not a big problem, as it means the skin can tolerate the slightly irritating ingredients. However, if the tingling sensation is more obvious, you should stop immediately, wash your face and apply some soothing toner on it to give your skin a rest and relax. If you continue to use it and experience this phenomenon, it means that the ingredients in it are not suitable for you and you should stop using it.

4. Question: Are there any important points that cannot be ignored when applying a facial mask?

Answer: There are indeed some important steps in applying a facial mask that cannot be ignored.

1. If it is a wet paper mask, it is best to lie down and apply it. Do not walk back and forth, stand, sit, or eat or talk, as this will cause the mask to move and will not achieve the best effect.

2. Before applying the mask, you can massage the skin slightly to speed up blood circulation and promote the absorption of ingredients; after applying the mask, you can massage the skin again, using the massage of your fingertips to make the skin soft and "push" nutrients into the skin.

3. At the end, apply lotion or cream to lock in moisture and prevent moisture loss.

5. Question: What kind of mask is best for emergency treatment to improve skin condition?

A: If you have a date or a party at the last minute, you can use a facial mask to improve the moisture of your skin and reduce the feeling of fatigue. Moisturizing masks and eye masks are more effective. These masks have a good immediate effect and can immediately improve dryness, fine lines, and dullness. Whether it is a cream, jelly or non-woven mask, it is suitable.

But one thing to note is that some exfoliating masks and deep cleansing masks are absolutely not suitable for emergency use or first aid to prevent skin sensitivity.

6. Question: I want to use a facial mask for intensive maintenance for a week. How should I do it?

A: If it is for a week, I think you can first do a deep cleansing mask, two moisturizing masks, and then two functional masks between the two moisturizing masks, such as anti-aging or whitening. Doing facial mask treatments 5 times a week, such intensive care will greatly improve the skin's moisture, glossiness and softness.

7. Q: How many minutes is the best time to apply a facial mask? Do I need to apply skin care products afterwards?

Answer: 15 to 20 minutes is enough. No matter how long you apply it, the skin's ability to absorb moisture and nutrients is limited. The more you apply it, the more it will absorb. If the paper mask still feels damp, you can take it off and apply it to your neck, or wipe your arms or calves, but never let the mask dry on your skin. Be sure to apply skin care products after using the mask to lock in moisturizing ingredients and moisture.
