Can a sleeping mask be used as a lotion?

Sleeping masks and lotions are skin care products that many women and men will buy nowadays, because everyone has to work every day and face computer radiation and the bad factors brought by the outside environment that are harmful to the skin. However, many people are thinking that since they are both for skin care, why should they buy both? It feels a bit of a waste of money, so many people want to know whether sleeping masks can be used as lotions?

No, because the uses and effects of the two are very different. Let's learn about the difference between the wash-free sleeping mask and the night cream lotion:

Sleeping masks generally have good hydrating effects, and are also good at moisturizing, calming and soothing, but their other effects are not as good as night creams, and they should not be used every day.

The difference between disposable facial mask and lotion

As the name suggests, a wash-free mask does not need to be washed after use. It is very convenient and saves time to use, and it also saves water. It is also called a sleeping mask. The facial masks we commonly use can be roughly divided into two types. Some masks are wash-free while others cannot be left on overnight. Girls who love beauty must be careful before using them. Don’t just apply a layer of sleeping mask that cannot be left on overnight and go to bed with peace of mind. This is very bad for the skin. Some sleeping masks are relatively thick or moisturizing, so most of them have poor breathability. If you wear them overnight, it can easily cause the skin to lack of breathing, reduce blood circulation, and even cause a dull and lifeless complexion.

principle

Wash-free facial masks usually use a thick layer of essence dressing to block the contact between facial skin and air, block the evaporation of skin moisture, increase the moisture of the stratum corneum, and soften the cuticle; the temperature of the epidermis increases, thereby expanding the pores, which is conducive to the smooth absorption of nutrients. When the skin temperature rises, blood circulation speeds up, allowing the nutrients that penetrate into the skin to diffuse deeper and wider between cells, quickly replenishing nutrients; the water on the skin surface that cannot evaporate will remain in the epidermis. When the epidermis is filled with water, the skin will look smoother and tighter, fine lines will become lighter, and at the same time, the whiteness and brightness will be significantly improved. This is why the wash-free mask is magical.

How to use

1. Apply skin care products as usual.

2. After applying skin care products, warm your palms over your face to help absorption.

3. Avoid the eye area and gently apply the mask from bottom to top, lifting the skin at the same time. You can also apply it to your neck.

4. Wash off the mask with warm water the next morning. It is best to clean again with facial cleanser. Because the disposable mask does not need to be washed immediately after use, but it still needs to be washed clean the next morning, so please note this.

5. Use 2-3 times a week.

Precautions

Wash-free facial masks have always been the best choice for lazy girls. In addition to the advantage of being wash-free, there are also things that sisters need to pay attention to.

Wash-free facial masks have only been on the market for a short time, and many people think that they can be used directly after cleansing. But in fact, compared with ordinary facial masks, this type of mask contains less oil and active ingredients. It is okay to use it alone occasionally if you are lazy, but for long-term use, it is best to use some essence or lotion skin care products before using the mask, so that the effect will be better.

Using a "no-wash mask" every day will harm the skin. Like other masks, a "no-wash mask" cannot be used every day, because it is not a night cream after all. It will still cause a certain burden on the skin and even affect the skin's self-repair ability, so 2 to 3 times a week is enough!

In addition, "no-wash mask" is more effective when used at night, but it can also be used during the day. Before purchasing and using, you also need to confirm whether the product you choose is a true "no-wash mask" that can be used overnight. If you mistakenly use a regular washable mask as a no-rinse mask overnight, it will actually absorb moisture from your skin!

"No-wash mask" cannot replace night cream

"If I have a wash-free facial mask, do I not need to use night cream?" This question is often asked by many girls who have used "wash-free facial masks". In fact, wash-free facial masks cannot replace night cream. You must apply some night cream before use, otherwise the skin will be "malnourished", especially for girls with dry skin. "Wash-free facial masks" and night cream must be used together.

It is understood that "wash-free facial masks" are often thin in texture. Due to the long time of use, in order to take into account breathability, the nutritional content is not very high. If you want to have good skin care effects, don't forget to use night cream.

In addition, after washing off the "wash-free mask", it is best to use a facial cleanser to clean the skin again, because the oil secretion overnight cannot be completely washed away by warm water alone.

Although you can wear a "no-wash facial mask" before sleeping, the skin care procedures before using the "no-wash facial mask" must not be skipped: removing makeup, cleansing, patting with water, applying skin care products, these old procedures are all necessary. After everything is ready, apply the "no-wash facial mask". Of course, unlike traditional masks that need to be washed immediately, the "no-wash facial mask" can be left until the next morning.

Use effect

Due to its no-wash feature, the wash-free mask can deeply moisturize the skin all night long, allowing the skin to feel surrounded by water at all times, preventing moisture loss, and soothing tense skin. The sleeping mask itself contains less oil and active ingredients. Its main function, in addition to moisturizing, is to assist the absorption of previously applied skin care products, which is somewhat like an "introduction" function. Therefore, it can be used alone, but the effect of the sleeping mask can only be better exerted if lotion or essence is used first. Therefore, it is not recommended to use sleeping masks to replace lotions or essences, especially for dry skin. If you only use sleeping masks, your skin may not be sufficiently nourished.

As for whether sleeping masks can be used as lotions, everyone knows that although both are skin care products, their effects on your skin are very different. Therefore, skin care products should only be used for their respective functions. You should use what you need when you need it. You cannot use other products by replacing them just to save money. This is not a good idea. I hope everyone understands this.
