Can I apply a facial mask after applying facial cream?

It is not recommended to apply a facial mask after applying facial cream.

Facial cream is a cream-textured skin care product that is relatively thick and difficult to apply. It also takes a long time for the skin to absorb it. Therefore, facial cream is usually used as the last step of skin care, and the skin has a whole night to absorb it.

If you apply a facial mask right after applying facial cream, it is conceivable that this will inevitably affect the effectiveness of the mask, so it is not recommended to do so.

The disadvantages of applying a facial mask after applying a facial cream

Disadvantage 1

Facial masks are usually used after cleansing, when the skin pores are clean and unobstructed, and the nutrients in the mask can penetrate into the deep layers of the skin more directly. If you apply a series of skin care products such as face cream and then apply a facial mask, it will be more difficult for the nutrients in the mask to penetrate into the deep layers of the skin;

Disadvantage 2

In addition, the skin also has a certain degree of absorption of external nutrients. If you apply a series of skin care products such as face cream first, the skin has already absorbed enough nutrients, and then apply a facial mask, the skin is already in a saturated state and cannot absorb nutrients.

Disadvantage 3

Facial masks are rich in nutrients. After use, you need to apply other cosmetics to help these nutrients be better locked in the skin. However, if you change the order of using skin care products, use skin care products such as face cream first and then use facial masks, without the assistance of other moisturizing and water-locking products, the moisture and nutrients in the skin will be lost quickly after applying the facial mask.

Don’t apply a facial mask after applying facial cream, as it is harmful to your skin.
