How long is the best time to use a facial mask?

For modern female friends, facial mask is a rare beauty tool. By using facial mask, we can make the skin more tender and more vibrant. It only takes about 20 minutes to make a facial mask. After applying the mask, the facial skin will be refreshed and can effectively improve the dehydration and lack of nutrients on the facial skin. However, there are certain time constraints when making facial masks.

If you apply the mask for too long, your skin will lose moisture and nutrients. Therefore, in addition to following the instructions for use, we can also make a rough estimate of the usage time 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 no more than 30 minutes. However, if you really don’t want to waste the remaining essence, you can also use it to wipe other parts of your body.

The skin must be clean before applying a facial mask, but this does not mean that you need to exfoliate every time. The stratum corneum is our skin's natural barrier, which prevents moisture loss and neutralizes acidity and alkali. The metabolic cycle of the stratum corneum is 28 days, that is, the stratum corneum metabolizes some dead cells every 28 days. Therefore, you only need to exfoliate once a month at most. Frequent exfoliation will damage the stratum corneum. In addition, sensitive skin needs more attention and does not need to exfoliate too frequently.

By using a facial mask, we can improve the blood circulation of our facial skin, promote the metabolism of the facial skin, and increase the oxygen content of the facial skin, thereby making the facial skin look more radiant, more elastic, and making our complexion look better. In addition, applying a facial mask can also activate the skin, remove dirt and oiliness on the face.
