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

I think applying facial mask is something that many beauty-loving girls do frequently. As for how to apply facial mask, everyone has their own opinions. So, in order to achieve the best effect when applying facial mask, you must choose the best time and use the correct method, otherwise it will be a waste! Do you know when and how long to apply a facial mask for best results? What should you pay attention to when applying a facial mask? If you don’t know, let me tell you about it below.

Grasp 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.

Make sure your skin is clean 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 a facial mask, you should remove makeup and wash your face, and exfoliate if necessary. However, exfoliation should not be done too frequently to avoid damaging the skin's natural barrier. Basically, twice a month is best, and once a month is enough for sensitive skin.

Make sure your skin is moisturized before applying the mask

Moist skin can better absorb water and nutrients, so before applying the mask, you must keep the skin moisturized. For dry skin, you can apply some toner first, but if you use a hot towel to wet your face for 3 minutes and then apply the mask, the pores will open, the skin can better absorb the essence of the mask, and the effect of the mask can be enhanced.

The smearable mask can be slightly thicker

For most facial masks, the thicker they are applied, the more effective they are, because the mask must be thick enough to cover every inch of skin and fully exert its effectiveness. In addition, sufficient thickness can also ensure the airtightness of the mask, allowing the skin to absorb the essence more fully. Of course, the thicker the better, it just needs to be thick enough to leave no corners exposed!

Different skin types can choose masks with different functions

Dehydrated skin: Hydrate the skin according to the symptoms. A gel-textured sleeping mask or a thin fabric mask will work. Use warm steam to open the pores before applying the mask, which will help soften the cuticle and absorb moisture.

Mildly mature skin: We recommend a repairing mask, which not only hydrates the skin but also takes into account the replenishment of collagen and the repair of elastic fibers.

Problem skin: If your skin has obvious problems such as fine lines, dryness and roughness, you need to speed up the skin's nutrient and moisture replenishment.

Be careful to clean the residue after masking

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. Be sure to pay attention to the astringent step. Some cleansing or exfoliating masks may cause skin damage if not handled carefully afterwards.

I believe that through the above understanding, everyone can clearly know the time and precautions for applying facial mask. At the same time, I would like to remind everyone not to frown or laugh when applying a facial mask, and try to avoid talking loudly. Allow yourself to take care of your skin in a relaxing environment. A survey shows that a comfortable environment and a relaxed mood are conducive to the absorption of skin care products. I hope what I have said can help you, and I wish you good health.
