How to use ice cream mask

Whenever we talk about ice cream, I believe everyone’s first reaction would be to exclaim, “It’s delicious! Let’s have some.” But the ice cream we are going to talk about today is not something we eat, but something our mothers and sisters use for beauty and skin care. Why is it named like this? This mask is different from others. It is a mask with a creamy texture like ice cream. It can be applied directly on the face. It has a very good effect of moisturizing and keeping warm. Let’s talk about how to use this mask.

1. Before using a facial mask, it is best to do an allergy test first. Apply a small amount of mask dressing on the back of your hand and wash it off after 30 minutes. If there is no redness or itching reaction at the applied area, you can apply it on your face.

2. Before applying the mask, you should remove makeup and wash your face. If necessary, you can also exfoliate first to facilitate the absorption of the mask and prevent dirt and dust from entering the pores.

3. After washing your face, before applying the facial mask, you can first apply a hot towel to your face for three minutes, and then massage all over your face for three to five minutes to enhance the effect of the facial mask.

4. When applying the mask on the entire face, it is advisable to first apply some oil on the edges of the eyebrows, hairline, eyes, lips, etc. to prevent the mask from sticking to these parts and making it difficult to clean.

5. The order of applying facial mask should be from neck, jaw, cheeks, nose, lips, forehead, from bottom to top; it is not advisable to apply facial mask around the eyes, eyebrows, upper and lower lips.

6. After applying the mask for about 20 minutes, you can touch it lightly with your fingers. If it does not feel sticky, you can start from the edge of the film and slowly peel it off from bottom to top.

7. After removing the mask, use clean warm water to wash off the residue on your face, then apply a cold towel to your face for a while to shrink the pores, and finally apply moisturizing cosmetics.

8. Generally speaking, when the mask dries, it will cause the skin to tighten and wrinkles to appear, so the mask should be removed immediately when it dries, and should not be left on the skin for a long time or overnight.

9. In principle, facial masks can be used two to three times a month. People with acne, chloasma, and age spots on their faces can apply it once or twice a week to enhance the effect. Protein masks should not be used too frequently, and are limited to about twice a week.

10. Homemade natural facial masks tend to harden after losing moisture, and are also susceptible to contamination and breeding bacteria. Therefore, it is not advisable to make too much at one time. It is best to make and use them immediately.
