The best time to apply eye mask

The best time to apply eye masks is generally between 9 and 11 p.m., when the body is about to enter a resting state. Applying eye masks at this time can hydrate the skin and enhance the skin's self-repair ability during sleep. It is effective in relieving eye puffiness and fine lines caused by dry eyes.

The key time to apply eye mask

Before going to bed is the best time to apply an eye mask. In addition, the critical period for applying an eye mask is after exercise and one week after the menstrual period. This is because the moisture content of the skin generally increases after exercise, and the effect of applying the eye mask will be doubled. After the menstrual period is the follicular phase, during this period the skin's absorption capacity will become particularly good, which is very suitable for applying an eye mask to moisturize the eye skin.

You can also use eye mask in the morning

Many people will experience swelling after waking up in the morning, even if they have had a good sleep, due to poor drainage mechanism of the eye skin. The swelling caused by this water accumulation can be treated by applying an eye mask to enhance the water circulation in the eyes, remove the swelling and tighten the skin around the eyes. Therefore, if you have enough time in the morning, you can apply eye mask for maintenance after cleaning your face.

Tips for applying eye mask

Before applying an eye mask, be sure to clean your skin. If time is urgent and you want to use an eye mask to achieve emergency eye swelling effects, then at least use a mild makeup remover to remove eye makeup first. If you don't do this, the essence of the eye mask will enter the pores along with the makeup powder, which will cause problems such as dull eye skin tone in the long run. Therefore, you must clean your eyes thoroughly before applying the eye mask. If you are not wearing makeup, you also need to use a mild cleanser to remove dirt and oil from your eyes to lay a good foundation for the skin to absorb the eye mask essence.
