How to distinguish the difference between real and fake silk masks and ordinary masks

Silk mask is also a kind of mask material and is liked by many people. So how do you tell whether a silk mask is real or fake? What are the differences between silk masks and ordinary masks?

How to distinguish the authenticity of silk mask

If you are worried that your silk mask is fake, you can use a lighter to burn a completely dried silk mask. If the ashes after burning are crispy black and have the smell of burning feathers or burning hair, then it means it is real. Because silk masks contain animal protein ingredients, these phenomena will occur after burning.

The difference between silk mask and ordinary mask

1. Material

Silk mask: The mask paper of silk mask is generally thin and soft, and has very good adherence. Even if you apply the mask, it will not affect your normal activities. Moreover, the air permeability of silk masks is also very good. When you hold it in your hand, you can see that silk masks are generally transparent and you can see the other side through one side. If you don’t look carefully after applying the mask, you won’t notice that you have applied it.

Ordinary facial masks: The mask paper of ordinary facial masks is generally thicker and mostly white. It is not as adherent as silk masks and is prone to bubbles. If you move, it will easily cause the mask to slip off. And the breathability is not as good as that of silk mask, so it is generally not recommended to apply the mask for too long.

2. Raw materials

Silk mask: The mask paper used in silk masks is silk, which contains a variety of amino acids and proteins, and is more natural and pollution-free to use.

Ordinary facial masks: The mask papers used in ordinary facial masks are mostly industrial fibers, which do not contain any maintenance ingredients. They rely entirely on the essence ingredients added later, so the main function of ordinary facial mask paper is to support the essence.

3. Efficacy

Silk mask: The natural silk used in silk masks is very similar to human skin, so the silk mask can better fit the skin when used, meet the needs of the skin, and reduce skin allergies. At the same time, natural silk also contains a variety of amino acids and protein ingredients, which can effectively help the skin moisturize, replenish water, whiten and brighten after use.

Ordinary facial masks: The mask paper used by ordinary facial masks does not have any maintenance effect, and the effect can only be guaranteed by the essence ingredients added later. At the same time, because the mask paper of ordinary masks is made of industrial fiber, the allergy rate is higher than that of silk masks.
