What should I do if there is still a lot of essence left after applying the mask?

Facial masks are a way many people use to care for their skin nowadays. For those who care about their skin, choosing facial masks to care for their skin is naturally indispensable. There are many types of facial masks, such as skin whitening, wrinkle removal, and moisturizing. You can choose a mask that suits your skin type. The mask contains essence to moisturize and maintain the skin. When the time for applying the mask is up and you tear off the mask, there is still a lot of essence on your face, which looks wet. What should I do if there is still essence left after applying the mask? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. What should I do if there is still a lot of essence after applying the mask?

Because facial masks contain essence, many people think it is a waste to wash them off and the skin can absorb them on its own. In fact, generally speaking, you should clean your face again after applying a facial mask, but it depends on what kind of mask you are applying.

2. Sheet masks are the simplest and most convenient masks, and are also the most popular ones. Generally, apply it for about 15 to 20 minutes and then remove it. There will usually be some essence left on the face. You can gently massage it with your hands for a while to allow the essence to be better absorbed by the skin.

Now comes the point! If you feel your face is still sticky after massage, the essence was not fully absorbed. You can rinse it with clean water and then proceed with the subsequent skin care steps; if you feel that the essence has been almost absorbed after massage and there is no sticky feeling, you don’t need to wash your face again and can directly proceed with the subsequent skin care steps!

3. Sleeping mask, as the name suggests, is a mask that you can wear while sleeping. It helps the skin lock in moisture while sleeping, so that the skin will be hydrated the next day. However, if you want to keep the mask on overnight, just apply a thin layer. Applying too thick a layer will prevent your skin from metabolizing and breathing normally, and it will easily rub onto the quilt and pillow. Yiyezi would like to remind everyone that sleeping masks do not need to be washed only during a certain period of time, not that they can be left unwashed. After getting up the next day, be sure to wash your face carefully with facial cleanser! It is best to clean within 6 to 8 hours to avoid blocking the skin's normal breathing and metabolism.

2. How to choose a facial mask

1. The mud mask made of deep sea mud and volcanic mud can be called a natural skin pollution absorber. It can remove old dead skin cells and waste that are difficult to wash off in daily cleaning, making the pores clean and unblocked immediately. It is a savior for oily skin. Each time you apply it, the thickness should be enough to cover the pores. Don't ignore the cheekbones, wings of the nose, corners of the mouth and other areas. Mud masks will promote skin contraction after drying, so they should be washed off immediately after they have dried naturally. Do not leave them on for a long time to prevent the mask from shrinking too much and squeezing the face, causing wrinkles.

2. Some cleansing masks are of the tear-off type, especially some nose masks for removing blackheads. Many people start their normal skin care routine after peeling off the mask, completely ignoring the step of tightening pores, which causes blackheads to reappear after a few days. Yiyezi is here to tell you that no matter whether you are peeling off a nose mask or a facial mask, you must rinse it with clean water after peeling it off, and then apply astringent water for a while to help shrink the pores.

3. Notes

We are usually accustomed to applying facial mask directly after washing our face, which is actually completely possible. However, you can also apply a layer of toner, essence or moisturizing essence before applying the mask, and the effect will be better.
