How to use a sleeping mask

Before we use general facial masks or sleeping masks, we should understand how to use these masks. Only by understanding the usage methods clearly can we achieve twice the result with half the effort and save us a lot of time. So what are the usage methods of sleeping masks? If you don’t know much about this, you must check it online. Let’s learn about it together.

1. Go to bed after applying the sleeping mask

The mask contains a lot of moisture and is very nutritious, but it cannot be absorbed by the skin immediately. It takes a while to completely penetrate into the bottom layer of the skin. If you go to bed immediately after applying the mask, it will affect the effect of the mask. The correct way is to apply the mask and then massage to promote the absorption of the mask's nutrients before going to bed.

2. Just apply the sleeping mask and do no other skin care

Before applying a sleeping mask, basic skin care steps are essential! Makeup removal, facial cleansing and lotion are all necessary before you can apply the sleeping mask. If you don’t do the basic skin care steps well, the sleeping mask will have the opposite effect!

3. Be sure to wear a sleeping mask overnight

In fact, you can wash off the sleeping mask before going to bed, especially for people with oily skin. If you apply the mask overnight, you will feel your skin is oily and uncomfortable when you wake up the next day. In fact, you can apply the sleeping mask at night and wash it off after the nutrients of the mask are completely absorbed by the skin. This can also replenish water and moisturize the skin.

Clean your skin well; before using a sleeping mask, all the skin care steps must be followed. Since most sleeping masks are left on the face overnight, if you apply the sleeping mask directly without properly cleansing your skin, the dust and makeup left over during the day will clog your pores. It will cause damage to the skin, so don’t be lazy and make sure to clean your skin before using the sleeping mask.

After cleansing your skin, don't rush to apply a sleeping mask directly. You should moisturize your skin with some lotion and essence first. Since sleeping masks contain less oil than ordinary masks, long-term use will not bring much improvement to the skin. You should first use some lotion and essence to fully prepare the skin before applying the mask, which will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Many sleeping mask labels state that you should wash your face and apply it before going to bed every night. But be aware that sleeping masks also contain many chemicals that can harm the skin. Sleeping masks should not be used every day. It is best not to apply a layer of them before going to sleep. It is better to do it once every two days. Experts suggest that although sleeping masks are convenient, they should not be used every day. One week of continuous use is completely sufficient. If you use a sleeping mask every day, it can easily cause "overnutrition" and even cause fat particles to grow, and the skin's self-repair ability will also decrease. If you usually use facial mask during the day, a sleeping mask twice a week is enough.

The above introduces the usage of sleeping masks from various aspects. We can see that the usage of sleeping masks is relatively simple and suitable for the public. Another advantage of sleeping masks is that after we apply the sleeping mask, we no longer need to perform other maintenance work. Therefore, it is very convenient for us and can save us more time to do what we want to do.
