How to use a sleeping mask and how thick to apply it

For sleeping mask, you only need to apply a little more than the usual amount of facial cream, no need to apply too much. Applying too much will prevent the skin from absorbing it normally, adding burden to the skin and even causing clogged pores.

What is a sleeping mask?

Most sleeping masks have a refreshing and clean texture. Its skin care principle is to use a layer of essence to isolate the skin from the air, prevent the evaporation of moisture in the skin, lock in moisture, maintain the moisture of the cortex, soften the cuticle, and at the same time increase the temperature of the surface skin and expand the pores, which is conducive to the absorption of nutrients. If you persist for a period of time, you can see that the skin becomes smooth and tight, and the fine lines on the face will be significantly faded. At the same time, the whiteness and glossiness will be improved, and the skin will have a good complexion from the inside out.

Some common misunderstandings about sleeping masks

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 no other skin care work is needed. Before applying a sleeping mask, all basic skin care steps must be followed! Makeup removal, cleansing, and lotion are all necessary, and only then can you apply the sleeping mask. If you don’t do the basic skin care steps well, the sleeping mask will have the opposite effect!

3. Sleeping mask must be used at night. Many people have this question: Do sleeping masks have to be used at night? In fact, not necessarily. Using a sleeping mask during the day or during a lunch break is also a good choice, but remember to wash it off with clean water after applying it for a period of time! Using a sleeping mask to replenish moisture during the day is still a good effect.

4. Use sleeping mask every day. The hydrating function of sleeping masks is very strong, but they cannot be used every day! Frequent use of sleeping masks will cause overnutrition to the skin and produce fat particles! Using it 2-3 times a week is sufficient.
