Sleeping mask on face

Sleeping masks can be said to be a type of lazy mask, because ordinary masks need to be washed off with water and then applied with lotion. However, sleeping masks save these troublesome steps. You can just apply it before going to bed and wash it off when you wake up the next morning. However, some women report that they feel stinging on their faces after applying sleeping masks. So what causes this? Let's take a look at it together:

1. The tingling sensation may be due to the strong irritation of the mask. The skin will not be able to adapt to it when you first use it. This situation should improve after using it a few times.

2. This situation may also be caused by lack of water on the skin. You need to strengthen the hydration of the skin after applying the mask. You can apply aloe vera gel or a moisturizing mask to hydrate and calm the skin.

3. However, it is also possible that this mask causes skin allergies. In this case, you must stop using it immediately and go to the hospital as soon as possible to consult a doctor and receive treatment.

What to do if your face hurts after using a sleeping mask

When you feel a tingling sensation on your face after applying a sleeping mask, you can carefully observe your facial skin. If it is just a simple tingling sensation without other abnormalities, you don’t need to pay attention to it. The tingling sensation will slowly disappear over time.

If there is a strong tingling sensation accompanied by other symptoms such as redness, fever, itching, etc., it means that the skin is allergic. At this time, you need to use plenty of clean water to rinse the mask off the skin and stop using the mask to avoid skin allergies again.

How to use a sleeping mask

Step 1: Wash your face as usual, then apply skin care products such as toner.

Step 2: After applying the skin care products, warm your face with your palms to help absorption.

Step 3: Then avoid the area around the eyes and gently apply the mask from bottom to top, lifting the skin at the same time. You can also apply it on your neck.

Step 4: After applying the mask, wait for half an hour for the sleeping mask to dry and form a layer of film to lock in all the applied skin care products. Now you can go to bed.

Misunderstandings about using sleeping masks

1. Many people will apply a sleeping mask directly after washing their face, replacing night cream directly. This practice is incorrect. Compared with ordinary masks, this sleeping mask contains less oil and active ingredients. It is best to apply some essence or lotion skin care products before doing so, which will have a better effect.

2. Sleeping masks cannot be used every day. If used every day, it will damage the skin, cause a certain burden, and affect the skin's self-repair ability, so it is only necessary to use it 2 to 3 times a week!

3. The so-called sleeping mask is best used at night. Of course, it can also be used during the day, but the effect is not as good. It should be noted that ordinary masks are not suitable for use when sleeping. If you mistakenly use a general washable mask as a sleeping mask overnight, it will absorb moisture from the skin!
