Is it better to apply ice or heat to the mask?

There are many types of facial masks on the market now, and many of them have comprehensive functions and can solve many skin problems. However, if you want to get better results by applying facial masks, you must master the correct method of applying facial masks. Now many people don’t know whether facial masks should be applied with ice or heat. In fact, choosing ice and hot compresses for facial masks each has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it depends on each person’s needs.

Which is better, an ice mask or a hot mask? This can actually achieve twice the result with half the effort:

There are many kinds of facial masks now, and there are also many different opinions about applying facial masks. Some people say that it is better to apply the mask hot, while others say that it is better to put the mask in the refrigerator before use. Which one is really good? Next, I will analyze it for you and then give you examples.

What are the consequences of using a hot mask on your face?

Now that it is winter, many people soak their face in hot water before applying a facial mask. Many people say that soaking in hot water has many benefits, but this is not true. In fact, many facial masks will be ruined if soaked in hot water. For example, the ingredients in whitening masks are more active. If you throw it in hot water, the ingredients inside may no longer exist and it will be ineffective.

Whitening mask: Just like the Innisfree whitening mask I used before, it felt great when I first used it in the summer. After soaking in hot water in winter, there was no effect for a long time. After I stopped soaking my face in hot water, I could still find that my skin was slowly getting whiter. It seems that whitening masks are not suitable for soaking in hot water!

Cleansing mask: Of course, the same goes for Huayin’s cleansing mask. The effect will be a little worse if you soak it in hot water and then apply it on your face. It is also not recommended to soak a paste-based facial mask in hot water, as the mask will lose its effect before you even start using it after a long time.

Hydrating mask: But the ingredients of hydrating mask are relatively stable, so it will not be affected at all after soaking in hot water. For example, the Mopai Water Magnetic Moisturizing Mask was soaked in hot water and then tested. It feels very moisturizing when applied on the face and contains a lot of essence. As a hydrating mask, I think it is quite successful. After applying the mask, you can feel that your skin is full of moisture. It can be seen that soaking in hot water does not affect the hydrating mask at all.

What are the consequences of putting facial mask in the refrigerator?

When you watch variety shows, you can see that many celebrities’ refrigerators are filled with facial masks. Is it true that facial mask will only be effective if it is applied with ice? In fact, this cannot be said. It can only be said that ice compress is more effective. And there is no requirement on the type of mask. It seems that this method is better than hot compress.

Whitening mask: Because the ingredients of whitening mask are relatively active, it cannot be applied with heat, and many people think that it cannot be applied with ice either. In fact, it is not. On the contrary, ice compress can make the ingredients more stable. Therefore, I still recommend Meiji’s whitening mask. Not only is the mask more fitting, but the essence is also absorbed quickly. This one is also very affordable, and people who have used it really can’t stop using it.

Cleansing mask: It is not okay to soak the cleansing mask in hot water. Similarly, there are no requirements for ice compresses. On the contrary, ice compress will make the mask fit better and calm the skin. Allow small molecules to clean more deeply and also help tighten pores. This micro-carbon purifying black mask can do this, and I really think it can be regarded as the black technology in cleansing masks.
