Can a 16-year-old wear a facial mask?

16 years old is the peak period for the appearance of acne. At this stage, the skin is not only very sensitive, but also easily secretes oil, which has a lot of impact on our body. Therefore, girls must do a good job of moisturizing and hydrating in their daily lives. Applying facial mask is the most important project to maintain the skin. You can apply facial mask at the age of 16.

1. Grasp the best time to apply facial mask

When is the best time of day to apply a facial mask? Midnight to 3 am is the time when the skin repairs damaged cells on its own, so it is best to apply it before this time or before going to bed, which helps to deliver nutrients to the bottom layer of the skin through metabolism.

Tips: Facial mask is a feast among skin care products. Although it is very effective, it should not be used every day unless there are special requirements. Some facial masks have clearly marked cycles, such as a 5-day treatment course, or 3 masks in 10 days. If you want to achieve the best results, you should strictly follow it.

2. Make sure your skin is clean before applying the mask

Only when the oil, sebum and aging cuticles on the surface of the skin are completely removed can the skin be truly clean, the cell division in the basal layer will become active, and the skin will absorb more nutrients. Therefore, before applying the mask, you should remove makeup and wash your face, and exfoliate if necessary.

Tips: Do not exfoliate too frequently to avoid damaging the skin's natural barrier. Basically, twice a month is best. Girls with sensitive skin do not need to exfoliate frequently.

3. Make sure your skin is moist before applying the mask

Moist skin can better absorb water and nutrients, so before applying the mask, you must keep the skin moisturized. For dry skin, you can apply some toner first, but if you use a hot towel to wet your face for 3 minutes and then apply the mask, the pores will open, the skin can better absorb the essence of the mask, and the effect of the mask can be enhanced.

4. Don’t make the mask too thin

A high-quality facial mask can tightly absorb and lock in the maximum dose of nutrients. A thicker mask not only ensures that the nutrients are not "thin", but also effectively raises the skin temperature when applied to the face, promotes blood circulation, and allows the infiltrated nutrients to diffuse better between tissues. The warm effect will also soften the skin's cuticles and expand the pores, allowing the dirt accumulated inside to be discharged better.

Of course, the thicker the better, it just needs to be thick enough to leave no corners exposed!

5. Different skin types can choose masks with different functions

Dehydrated skin: Moisturize the skin accordingly. A gel-textured sleeping mask or a thin fabric mask will do. Use warm steam to open the pores before applying the mask, which will help soften the cuticle and absorb moisture.

Mildly mature skin: We recommend a repairing mask, which not only hydrates the skin but also takes into account the replenishment of collagen and the repair of elastic fibers. Before use, you can apply the lifting and firming essence first. After covering the face with the mask, a closed space will be formed on the face, which will be more conducive to the penetration of the essence.
