The dangers of homemade pig skin masks

Facial masks are an indispensable skin care product in the lives of many female and even male friends. Facial masks can promote the absorption of moisture and other nutrients by the face, and can also have the effect of whitening and tightening the skin. Pig skin has always been known to beautify and nourish the skin, which has led many people to try to use pig skin to make facial masks. Previously, a Korean woman said that she used pig skin facial masks to maintain her youthful appearance. So can we make facial masks ourselves? Next, let’s find out whether making a homemade pig skin mask is harmful.

1. It is best not to leave the mask on your face for more than half an hour. If you leave it on for too long, the mask will not continue to deliver nutrients to the skin. Instead, the nutrients will decrease and the mask will absorb moisture from your skin, causing moisture loss, which is not good.

2. If you buy a cosmetic mask, it is best to leave it on for 10-20 minutes, about 10 minutes in winter, because the skin itself lacks moisture in winter, so the time should not be too long.

3. In summer, it can be 10-15 minutes. This type of treatment does not require washing with water after use, but you must pat the skin after use to promote the absorption of nutrients, and then apply skin care products.

4. If it is a homemade pure natural mask

In winter, do not exceed 10 minutes; in summer, 10-20 minutes will be enough. After using this type of mask, be sure to wash it off directly with warm water (but there is no need to rub it with facial cleanser), then apply toner and lotion for skin care.

5. The mask must be selected according to your skin type

Whether it is a homemade mask or a ready-made mask, you must choose it according to your skin type. Everyone's skin characteristics are different, and what is suitable for others may not be suitable for you. If you want to make a homemade facial mask, you can first apply a small amount on the inside of your elbow. After 20 minutes, observe whether there are any allergic reactions. If not, you can apply it on your face.

6. Homemade masks cannot replace skin care products

The function of the facial mask is to exfoliate and replenish deep nutrients. After application, you still need to use it to lock in moisture, otherwise the nutrients will be lost quickly, which is a waste of effort. Homemade facial masks are just a icing on the cake, not a cure-all, and they should not be applied every day. Therefore, skin care also requires the use of skin care products every day.
