What should I do if the facial mask is too cold? Here are some ways to deal with it!

When the weather is hot, it is very comfortable to apply a facial mask, and it will feel very cool when you put it on your face. But if it is cold, you will not feel cool when you apply a facial mask, but you will feel very cold. As we all know, facial masks usually need to be applied for about 15 minutes, so if it is too cold, this period of time will be very uncomfortable. So how to solve the problem of cold facial masks in winter?

What should I do if it’s too cold to apply a facial mask in winter?

1. Steam your face first

If you feel it is cold to apply a facial mask in winter, you can steam your face before applying the mask. This can increase the temperature of your facial skin and completely open the pores, thereby promoting the skin's absorption of nutrients in the mask.

2. Mask heating

It is too cold to apply a facial mask in winter, so you can put the moisturizing or hydrating mask in 45-degree hot water and heat it for 5 minutes. This will not destroy the effect of the moisturizing or hydrating mask. But be careful not to heat the mask in too high a temperature or for too long.

3. Applying facial mask in high temperature environment

It is too cold to apply a facial mask in winter, so you can apply it in an environment where the indoor temperature is sufficient, such as an air-conditioned room or bathroom. This is because in a warm environment, the blood circulation of the whole body will be accelerated, which is not only conducive to the opening of skin pores, but also can promote the absorption of the mask.

Precautions for applying facial mask in winter:

1. Accelerate the penetration of facial mask

When your skin is tired and absorbs poorly, first use a hot towel to warm your face for 3 minutes to open the skin pores, and then apply the mask to allow the essence of the mask to be thoroughly absorbed.

2. Moisten your face before applying the mask

Apply the mask while the skin is still moist, or apply some toner on a dry face before applying it. Moist skin can better absorb moisture and nutrients, so apply the mask after thoroughly cleansing your face while it is still moist.

3. Apply cream immediately after applying the mask

The skin is in the best moisturizing state after applying the mask, but it is a big mistake to think that this is the end of the job. The moisture and essence have not been completely absorbed by the skin right after the mask is applied. If they are directly exposed to the air, they will evaporate quickly. Therefore, you should apply a facial cream immediately after applying the mask. The facial cream can lock in the moisture and essence that the face has just absorbed from the mask, making the moisturizing effect more lasting and obvious.

4. The time should not be too long

The application time of facial mask is generally controlled within 20-30 minutes. It must be washed off before the mask dries up. If it becomes dry, it will absorb the moisture of the skin.
