How long should I apply the hydrating mask?

Facial mask is an item that can quickly help us improve our skin condition. Different facial masks have different functions. People can choose the most suitable mask according to the actual situation of their face. Moisturizing mask is the most commonly used mask in our daily life, especially in the dry climate, people will habitually apply a moisturizing mask to improve their facial condition. Although we know that hydrating masks can help us hydrate our face, we don’t know how long to apply the hydrating mask.

If it is purely natural, such as cucumber slices, tomatoes, etc., you can set the time yourself. 30 minutes should be enough. The time for ready-made hydrating masks may vary due to different ingredients, but it is probably between 15 and 45 minutes. Sometimes you can apply it according to your skin condition. If it is too dry, you can apply it for a little longer. Never go to bed with the mask on, as the mask will absorb moisture from the skin, which will be counterproductive.

When the weather is relatively dry, we can make more hydrating masks. It is best not to use some washable masks or leave-in masks every day, because these masks are mostly airtight. The purpose is to open the pores in a closed space to input sufficient moisture to replenish the skin's needs. If used 1 to 2 times a week, it can make the skin more radiant and tender, and can refine the pores and skin texture. However, if used every day, it will cause enlarged pores (because if the pores are opened for 15 to 30 minutes every day, it will be difficult for the pores to restore elasticity and tension over time and they will become enlarged).

If your skin is in good condition or there are no major problems, it is recommended to use a hydrating mask 2-3 times a week. However, it should be reminded that, except for moisturizing masks, other functional masks should not be used every day. Such as whitening mask, firming mask, deep cleansing mask, etc.

In addition to hydrating masks, we can also choose some other masks. When choosing a mask, everyone must consider carefully. Don’t cause yourself facial allergies or other problems due to not choosing a good mask. The same applies to using a hydrating mask. If you feel a burning sensation on your skin after applying the mask, you must remove the mask as soon as possible and wash your face.
