Winter facial mask

Applying facial mask is something that many girls like to do. Because applying facial masks can achieve many beauty effects, such as whitening, moisturizing, hydrating, removing spots, etc. In winter, the weather is relatively cold and most facial masks are relatively cool, so you must master certain techniques when applying facial masks in winter. Below, I will introduce to you in detail some tips on applying facial masks in winter.

1. Warm the mask

In the cold winter, facial masks are cold, and it takes courage to apply one. Before applying the mask, you can put the unopened mask into 37° warm water. Take it out and apply it after 2 minutes. The warm mask can open the pores and be absorbed more quickly. Remember not to make the water temperature too hot, otherwise it will easily destroy the nutrients in the mask.

2. It is best to apply the mask while lying down.

Try to lie down when applying a facial mask. This is because lying down can prevent the skin on your face from sagging due to gravity. In addition, lying down while applying a facial mask can allow the essence in the mask to penetrate into the skin more effectively.

3. Wipe your face with toner before applying the mask

If you feel it is too cold to apply a facial mask in winter, you might as well wipe your facial skin with a cotton pad dipped in a small amount of toner before applying the mask. This can not only allow the skin to adapt to the temperature first, but also help clean the skin again, open the pores, and better help the skin absorb the essence and moisture in the mask.

4. Apply while taking a bath

Taking a warm bath in winter is the most comfortable thing. The heat in the bathtub will open the pores. At this time, you can put on a facial mask and relax. The opened pores can absorb nutrients and moisture.

5. Moisturize after application

After applying the mask, the moisture and essence of the mask are still only on the surface of the skin and have not been completely absorbed. They will evaporate quickly, so apply cream immediately after applying the mask. The cream can lock in the moisture and essence that the face has just absorbed from the mask, making the moisturizing effect more lasting and obvious.

6. Apply the mask for about 20 minutes

When using a facial mask in winter, the application time should be maintained at about 20 minutes at a time. If you are in an air-conditioned or heated room, you can apply the mask for about 15 minutes and remove it before it dries to prevent the mask from absorbing the nutrients in it. In the dry winter, although a lot of moisture is needed, applying facial masks too frequently will only burden the skin. Mask care twice a week is most appropriate. Moreover, applying facial masks every day will thin the stratum corneum and may make the skin drier and more sensitive.
