How to use facial mask? This is how applying a facial mask works!

In daily life, facial masks are common skin care products used by many people. Regular application of facial masks can not only improve some skin problems, but also make the skin better. Applying facial masks also requires certain tricks to make the skin absorb the essence of the mask better. The time of applying the mask also needs to be grasped. You can start applying the mask at 10-11 pm. At night, the pores of the human skin are open, and applying a facial mask will make the skin better absorb the essence. You can also apply a facial mask right after taking a shower. Because the blood circulation of the body is accelerated after taking a shower, the pores of the skin are in an open state, and the effect of applying a facial mask at this time is better.

How to apply facial mask for best effect

Clean your skin before applying a mask

Only when the oil, sebum and aging cuticles on the surface of the skin are completely removed can the skin be truly clean, the cell division in the basal layer will become active, and the skin will absorb more nutrients. Therefore, before applying the mask, you should remove makeup and wash your face, and exfoliate if necessary.

It is best to apply the mask after taking a shower

The best time to apply a facial mask is after taking a hot shower, because the pores on the skin are fully open at this time, and the skin will better absorb the nutrients in the mask, so that the effectiveness of the mask can be maximized.

Apply a layer of essence before applying the mask

You can choose the appropriate essence according to your personal needs and preferences, and apply a layer on your face first. The purpose of this is to create a vacuum state between the skin and the mask when you apply the mask later, so that the mask can be closer to the skin of your face.

The mask should fit the skin as closely as possible

When applying the mask, make sure it fits tightly against the skin, leaving as little air as possible between the skin and the mask. Next, after adjusting the mask, since the sheet mask contains a lot of moisturizing liquid, you can apply the excess skin care products under the mask on your neck. Not only does it avoid waste but it also nourishes the skin on your neck at the same time.

When the mask is half dry, you can tear it off

Generally, the mask is applied for about 15 minutes. Because we apply an extra layer of essence on the face, it takes about 15 to 20 minutes. When the mask paper is half dry, it can be torn off. Don’t wait until it is completely dry before tearing off the mask paper. Doing so will take away the moisture from your face! After applying the mask, you should also apply lotion, which can help the skin lock in moisture and nutrients that the skin has just absorbed.

Relaxing while applying a mask will have a better effect

After applying the mask on your face, do not frown, laugh, and try to avoid talking loudly. Allow yourself to take care of your skin in a relaxing environment.

When is the best time to apply facial mask?

The best time to apply facial mask

Every day from 12 midnight to 3 am is the time when the skin repairs damaged cells on its own, so it is best to apply a facial mask before this time or before going to bed, which helps to deliver nutrients to the bottom layer of the skin through metabolism.

How often should you apply a facial mask?

Hydrating mask can be used every day

As the name suggests, a hydrating mask replenishes moisture for the skin. Especially when the weather is relatively dry, using a hydrating mask every day can replenish lost moisture for the skin and prevent dry skin. Especially if you use a hydrating mask before going to bed at night, the effect will be better.

Cleansing mask once a week

It is best to use a cleansing mask once a week. You should know that using a cleansing mask every day may cause skin sensitivity, redness and swelling. In addition, the immature stratum corneum may lose its ability to resist external invasion, aggravating skin problems.

Moisturizing mask twice a week

It is advisable to use moisturizing masks no more than twice a week. Moisturizing masks generally contain more nutrients. Frequent use of moisturizing masks may cause overnutrition to the facial skin, which will aggravate skin problems. In addition, other general facial masks are best used 2 to 3 times a week.

Sleeping mask three times a week

Sleeping masks, like general facial masks, are not suitable for daily use. If you insist on using a sleeping mask every day, it may cause overnutrition to the skin and add burden to the skin. In addition, it is best to use the sleeping mask after 11 pm for better results.
