Is it effective to apply a facial mask in the afternoon?

Women spend their entire lives taking care of their skin and use several facial masks almost every day. Although they cannot use it several times a day like celebrities, they still have to use facial masks. The frequency of facial masks is generally once every few days. It is best not to choose the afternoon. You can choose to apply a facial mask before going to bed at night to soothe the skin.

How often should I apply a facial mask?

It mainly depends on the efficacy of the mask. It is not recommended to apply it several times a day as celebrities claim. After all, no matter how good something is, it will cause indigestion if you eat too much.

1. Generally speaking, it is normal to use a hydrating mask once every 1 or 2 days. Using a hydrating mask too frequently will overhydrate the stratum corneum (cells absorb too much water, swell, and the connections become loose, which will cause skin damage and sensitivity. You can imagine a brick wall soaked in water). If your skin is seriously dehydrated, you can turn to a special hydrating essence;

2. For functional masks, such as those with whitening, anti-aging, and acne-removing effects, it is enough to use them 2 or 3 times a week, because the active ingredients in such products are generally more irritating, such as alcohol, fruit acid, kojic acid, retinol, etc. Using too much or too frequently will make the skin dry.

This is actually a big problem. There are many factors that can cause acne. There are two main reasons why facial masks cause acne:

1. Ingredients that cause acne: If the mask contains ingredients that are prone to causing acne, it will indeed cause acne. For example, salicylic acid. Those who have used acid brushing know that large areas of acne will break out at the beginning (in fact, there is no need to worry too much about this situation. It is a normal reaction of salicylic acid and it will go away in a few days. But if it is very serious and takes a long time to go away, it means that you are not suitable for acid brushing and it is recommended to stop using it.) In addition, some moisturizing ingredients are also prone to causing acne, such as seaweed, lipids, and oil ingredients, which are not suitable for oily and acne-prone skin.

2. Skin absorption problem: In addition, if you rarely use cleansing masks and do not exfoliate, the old dead skin cells and oil accumulation on the skin will be too thick, which will cause pores to be clogged. At this time, if you still apply the Ouquanlin mask with high nutrition and moisturizing properties, it will easily cause acne! So daily cleaning is more important~

How to use: Before using any skin care products, you should read the instructions first! If it is a mask that needs to be washed, wash it off after application. If it is a wash-free mask, you don’t need to wash it.

Skin feel: In addition, some wash-free masks still leave your face sticky after application, and the essence is difficult to be absorbed by the skin. At this time, you can actually wash it off ~ it will not affect the effect and absorption
