What are the steps to use a sleeping mask?

Although sleeping masks have many functions and effects, if we use them incorrectly or the method is wrong, then the sleeping mask will not have any effect. So what are the steps to use a sleeping mask? Only if we strictly follow the usage steps can we use the sleeping mask better. Next, let us understand what are the steps to use the sleeping mask?

Sleeping masks can be used on all skin types. If you have oily skin, you can use an "oil-free formula" night mask to hydrate the skin while calming it and regulating the skin's water and oil balance. The hydrating and moisturizing effect of the sleeping mask can be said to be immediate. If you apply a moisture-locking essence before applying the mask, it will be more effective and improve the dry lines and peeling phenomenon.

Method: First take a soybean-sized amount from the sleeping mask and apply it to the forehead, cheeks and chin. Use your fingertips to spread the mask evenly from the center of the forehead to both sides, and then apply the mask evenly on the face in circular motions. Do not use too much force to avoid pulling the skin. Use the middle and ring fingers to apply from both cheeks diagonally upwards, applying against the direction of pore growth, to allow the skin to better absorb nutrients. Apply evenly in circles from the center of the chin to both sides. Then open your palms and cover your entire forehead and chin, stay for about 5 seconds to relieve skin pressure. Use the middle and ring fingers to massage from below the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner of the eye, and then gently press on the outer corner of the eye for about 5 seconds. Cover your cheeks with the palms of both hands, and gently massage from the center of the face to both sides, with your hands lifting upwards, for about 5 seconds. Press your palm from the cheek down to behind the ear, slowly slide to the clavicle, and press for about 5 seconds. This can effectively promote lymphatic blood circulation and expel toxins from the body.

Are sleeping masks suitable for you?

There are two situations where it is not suitable to use a sleeping mask:

First: If you use a night cream with sufficient oil content, then you do not need to add a sleeping mask to enhance the nourishing, hydrating and repairing effects.

Second: If you use a gel-like night cream, then you don’t need to use a sleeping mask, because the texture of the sleeping mask is almost exactly the same as that of the gel-like night cream. If two identical products are superimposed, the effect will definitely be greatly reduced.

Exceptions when applying night cream: If you apply night cream but your skin still feels dry, you can use a layered sleeping mask.

Can sleeping masks be used every day?

Due to the airtightness of the sleeping mask, it helps the skin lock in previous nutrients, so it is not recommended to use it alone. It is best to complete the usual basic care steps before using it.

Sleeping masks are the same as facial masks. They are both periodic care, so they are not suitable for daily use. If you insist on using them every day, it will easily cause overnutrition to the skin and add burden to the skin.

The above introduces the steps of using sleeping masks. It is not difficult to learn and understand them. When we get home from get off work every day, we wash our faces carefully, then we can apply some sleeping masks, and finally go to bed peacefully. There is no need to consider other issues. As long as we apply the mask carefully, it will definitely work.
