Itchy face after applying mask

The itchiness on the face after applying a facial mask may be caused by allergic symptoms. Because the faces of many female friends are more sensitive, if the selected facial mask is not suitable, it will cause allergic symptoms. Therefore, it is recommended that female friends choose facial masks according to their skin type. As for how to use facial masks, we can learn about the contents introduced in this article to avoid skin allergies.

The reason why your skin is a little itchy after using a facial mask is due to lack of water on the face, and such a problem occurs during the process of replenishing moisture.

The correct way to use the mask:

⑴ Before use, it is best to wash your face before applying the mask, or apply a hot towel to your face for 2 minutes after massage before starting to apply the mask. Use warm water to open the pores and expel sebum and dirt, so that the nutrients in the mask can be more easily absorbed into the skin.

⑵ When you have dry skin or the climate is dry, you can apply toner first. The cleansing mask needs to be washed after use and should be applied before the toner and softener. The moisturizing mask should be applied after the toner and softener. The cotton mask should be used after toning and before moisturizing. It usually does not need to be washed after use.

⑶ Use your fingers to apply the mask evenly on the face and neck, but be careful that the mask must be about 0.5 cm away from the eyes and mouth to prevent the eyes and lips from being irritated by the mask and causing adverse reactions. It should also be kept at a certain distance from the hair.

⑷ After applying the mask, it is best not to make any big expressions or move your face. Wait until the mask is completely dry (about 20 to 30 minutes) to avoid affecting the effect.

⑸ To remove the mask, first wet the mask with warm water, gently tear it off from bottom to top, and then wash it off with lukewarm water.

⑹After washing your face, gently pat your face with toner and lotion suitable for your skin. Do not put on makeup for the time being and let your skin rest for a while.

⑺Time of use: The number of times of facial mask depends on age. Young people only need once a week. If the skin is too rough and loose, change to twice a week, but it is best not to exceed this number.

⑻ When a thick facial mask is applied to the face, the skin temperature rises, which promotes blood circulation and allows the infiltrated nutrients to diffuse better between cells. The water on the skin surface that cannot evaporate will remain in the epidermis, making the hydrated skin smooth and tight. Warmth can also soften the cuticle and expand the pores, allowing the sweat and dirt accumulated inside to be removed.

⑼ A slight, one-time tingling sensation when using a facial mask is normal. Masks containing hydrating ingredients may cause a stinging sensation when used on a face that is extremely dehydrated. Simple testing method: Apply a small amount of the mask on the skin inside your elbow. If there is no allergic reaction after 20 minutes, you can apply it on your face.

⑽Facial masks cannot be used every day. If used too frequently, it can easily cause thickening of the stratum corneum, thereby changing the normal metabolism of our skin. It can easily cause adverse reactions such as redness, swelling, and sensitivity. If we use nourishing masks frequently, it will easily lead to the formation of acne, because the skin has already received sufficient nutrition. If we continue to add nutrition, it will be excessive nutrition and the skin will not be able to absorb it. It's also a waste. If you use water-based hydrating paper masks to moisturize your skin every day, this is okay because these masks mostly use water as their main ingredient.

⑾Facial masks are periodic care products, and their purpose is mainly to replenish deep nutrition for the skin. However, without the surface moisture locking and nourishment, the benefits gained from the mask will easily be lost, so be sure to apply skin care products as usual after applying the mask.

⑿The longer you apply the mask, the better. "Overspending" on time will cause the skin to lose water and oxygen. In addition to following the instructions, you can make a rough estimate based on different masks: if the moisture content is moderate, remove it after about 15 minutes to prevent the mask from absorbing moisture from the skin after it dries; if the moisture content is high, you can use it for a while longer, but you must remove it after 30 minutes at most.
