Some facial masks can relieve skin aging, solve facial spots problems, etc. In the process of applying facial mask, people often encounter some problems, such as not knowing whether to wash their face after applying the mask, so the following is a detailed introduction.

Should I wash my face after applying the mask?

1. Single sheet mask

A single facial mask is like a shot of adrenaline, which quickly makes the skin hydrated and tender. It is the most commonly used and best facial mask now. Often a facial mask contains about 20 ml of lotion essence. After use, gently massage until the remaining lotion on the face is absorbed. At this time, there is already a thin protective layer on the face, which does not need to be washed off, and subsequent maintenance procedures can be carried out. Girls can decide based on their skin conditions. If you have oily skin, it is recommended to wash it with clean water, and then apply toner and refreshing lotion or cream. Also, peel off the mask from bottom to top.

2. No-wash sleeping mask

This is a sleeping mask, which helps the skin lock in moisture while you sleep, so that the skin will be hydrated the next day. However, just apply a layer evenly enough. Too much will cause the skin to be overwhelmed, blood circulation will be affected, and the skin will become darker. If you are worried about it getting on your clothes or pillow, you can use a single layer of cotton pad to gently press and remove the excess. Please note that the sleeping mask does not need to be washed only during a certain period of time, not that you do not need to wash it at all. It is best to clean the facial mask within 6 to 8 hours before going to bed to avoid blocking the skin's normal breathing and metabolism. So after a night, you should still wash your face and then apply daily moisturizing products.

(Tips) If you have sensitive or oily skin, it is best not to leave the mask on overnight. Leaving the mask on overnight may cause acne on the skin. Overnight masks are long-lasting moisturizers. Girls with oily skin can choose some more refreshing and moisturizing sleeping masks.

3. Jelly Mask

Jelly masks are generally called wash-off masks. This mask will feel a bit sticky on the face after it dries, which is very uncomfortable. So you still have to wash it. Also, most liquid masks are gel-type, which can repair the skin at night. In order for this type of smear-type mask to work best, it must be applied in a thick layer, and the highest standard is that the original skin color cannot be seen. It is not recommended to use jelly masks in autumn and winter. At this time, the skin needs a little temperature to promote the skin to absorb nutrients.

4. Peel off the mask

Peel-off masks are generally used to remove blackheads. After cleansing before applying the mask, steam your face with hot water, or apply a hot towel to the tip of your nose, and then apply the mask. This can open the pores, making it easier to remove fat blackheads deep inside the pores. This mask must be washed off, and after washing, you should use a toner that shrinks pores.
