What is the correct way to use a sleeping mask?

As living standards continue to improve, people are paying more and more attention to their appearance and temperament. Especially some girls who love beauty pay more attention to their skin, especially the skin on their face. Everyone knows this situation. Therefore, many people will buy some sleeping masks to take care of their faces after being exposed to the outside for a day. Let’s learn about the correct way to use sleeping masks.

What is a sleeping mask?

Most sleeping masks have a refreshing texture. The skin care principle is to use a layer of essence to isolate the skin from the air, prevent the evaporation of moisture in the skin, lock in moisture, maintain the humidity of the cortex, soften the cuticle, and increase the temperature of the surface skin, expand the pores, and facilitate the absorption of nutrients. After a period of time, you can see that the skin becomes smooth and tight, and the fine lines on the face will be significantly faded. At the same time, the whiteness and glossiness will be improved, and the skin will have a good complexion from the inside out.

Directions:

As usual, cleanse your face first, then use a series of daily skin care products, and then use the five-point method to apply the sleeping mask to various parts of the face, avoiding the area around the eyes, and gently massage in circles "from bottom to top", lifting the skin at the same time. It can also be applied to the neck. This will promote better absorption of the mask and previously used night cream. Don’t rush to go to bed after you’re done. You might as well do other things. Wait for about 30 minutes until the sleeping mask is almost dry before going to bed, because at this time it will form a layer of film that will lock all the skin care products you applied inside, and you can go to bed with peace of mind. Because the mask will no longer rub against the pillow at this time, wash it off thoroughly with "lukewarm water" the next morning. Sebum secretion is vigorous at night, so it is best to clean again with facial cleanser.

Misunderstanding: Sleeping mask must be left on overnight

Many people think that sleeping masks must be used overnight so that the full effect of the mask can be exerted. Even if they feel sticky, they will insist on using it overnight. In fact, sleeping masks are just a general term for masks. It does not mean that they must be used before going to bed. In fact, as long as the skin absorbs the nutrients of the mask, it is fine.

Correct use

If you feel that the sleeping mask is sticky, greasy and difficult to absorb, and your skin secretes a lot of oil after getting up, you don't need to wear the mask overnight. Just apply it on your face for 30 minutes, and wash it off with clean water after the skin has completely absorbed it.

Usage Misunderstanding: Sleeping mask must be applied before going to bed at night

Most people often think that sleeping masks can only be used at night, but this is not the case. The main formula of sleeping masks is a gel-like macromolecule, which is designed to lock in the small molecules in the skin care products applied before using the mask. Therefore, you can apply it when you have time, even when you are not sleeping.

Correct use

If you feel uncomfortable applying a sleeping mask before going to bed at night, you can choose to use a sleeping mask in the middle of the day or before going to bed in the afternoon, after completing basic care.
