Can I apply a facial mask if my stratum corneum is thin?

Facial masks are a type of skin care product that works very quickly, so many women like to stock up a large number of facial masks at home. After applying the mask, you will obviously feel that your skin becomes moisturized and elastic. However, not all people are suitable for applying facial masks. For example, you cannot use facial masks during facial allergies, otherwise it will aggravate the allergy. At the same time, people with thin stratum corneum should also pay attention to skin care. So can this group of people apply facial masks?

First of all, facial masks are highly nutritious and highly permeable products that can replenish a large amount of nutrition and moisture to the skin at one time. They are the first aid station for the skin and are defined as periodic care. It cannot be used every day because using it every day will cause the skin to be unable to absorb so many nutrients and cause nutrient waste. Also, the skin will become dependent on the mask and the skin's own immunity will decrease.

Then, the stratum corneum is relatively thin and the skin is more sensitive, which can easily cause red blood streaks or allergies due to external stimuli. The mask contains a lot of essence and moisture, and requires a lot of preservatives. The skin cannot withstand long-term contact with preservatives. Even if it is a regular mask, it may gradually become sensitive.

I heard that celebrities apply facial masks several times a day to keep their skin so hydrated and smooth. But what the teacher wants to tell you is that using facial masks every day will cause excessive care to the skin. Over time, it will damage the hair follicles and sebaceous glands of the skin, and in severe cases it will cause symptoms of skin inflammation. Therefore, using facial masks every day will not make your skin better. Instead, it will cause a great burden on the skin. Especially those who have thin stratum corneum must not use facial masks every day.

Use a single type of mask

People with thin stratum corneum think that their skin is dry and dehydrated, and use hydrating masks for a long time, but never pay attention to cleaning the skin surface, which causes a large amount of old and dead skin to accumulate on the skin surface. Applying a facial mask on old cuticles is like applying a layer of lubricant on them, making the skin look smooth and flat temporarily. However, in the long run, the cuticles will become thick and opaque, and the skin will lose its radiance and vitality.
