How long should I apply a moisturizing mask?

In autumn, the skin is relatively lacking in moisture, so it is necessary to apply some moisturizing masks. However, there are many details to pay attention to when applying masks, otherwise the moisturizing effect of the mask will not be exerted. There is also a certain time limit for applying masks. If the mask is applied on the face for too long, it will absorb the moisture of the face again, and the absorption of the face will be hindered.

Mistake 1: Applying a facial mask during the day

Applying a facial mask during the day is the best time to become a dark-skinned girl, because some extracts in the mask are photosensitive, and it will be hard not to become darker if you are exposed to light after applying the mask.

Mistake 2: Staying up late and going to bed at 3 or 4 o'clock and applying facial mask

It's already unfair to your face if you don't go to bed at this time. It's better to go to bed early than to do a facial mask! By three or four o'clock, your skin has already sounded the danger alarm. No facial mask will have much effect on absorption at this time. It will be daybreak soon and your skin will be exposed to the sun again.

Best time to use facial mask

The best time to apply a facial mask is between 10pm and 2am. Because the body's metabolism slows down at this time, the skin's absorption and repair abilities are the best in this state! If possible, go to bed right after applying the mask. The next day, you will find your skin is so tender and smooth that mosquitoes can split their legs and flies can wrestle!

How to apply a facial mask correctly

The first step is to clean your face and remove all dust and dirt on your face. It is recommended to use an absorbent cleansing cream for a more thorough cleansing.

The second step is to apply a warm towel to your face after cleansing and massage your face to fully open the pores so that the essence on the mask can be fully absorbed. This process will last about 3 minutes.

The third step is to apply a mask suitable for your skin and gently smooth it with your hands to make the mask fit your face better. Generally, 15-20 minutes is enough to apply a facial mask. This time is enough for the face to absorb enough essence. If you apply it for too long, it will not absorb more, but will cause the essence on the mask to evaporate and cause waste.

Step 4. After applying the mask, you can apply the essence on the face to other parts of the body without washing it off with clean water. Then apply a cold towel to your face, which can shrink the pores and prevent them from becoming enlarged after applying the mask.

The above article introduces in detail how long to apply a moisturizing mask. It is best to apply it for about half an hour and at night. If you apply it during the day, your face will become particularly dark, because some substances in the mask are photosensitive, so they will make your skin darker.
