The correct steps for using facial mask

1. Be sure to clean your face before using a facial mask. No matter who you are, before using a facial mask, you must remember to clean your face with facial cleanser. Because some ingredients in makeup and impurities in the air may clog your pores, the two steps of makeup removal and cleansing are absolutely essential. If you are using a new mask, be sure to do a sensitivity test.

2. Use hot compress to open pores After cleansing, your pores may not be fully opened. At this time, we can use hot compress method, apply a hot towel on your face for about 3 minutes, and then gently massage. It can open your pores quickly, making it easier for nutrients to be absorbed.

3. Use cold water to shrink the pores and then tear it off after about 15 minutes. Then massage your face, which will help the skin fully absorb nutrients. After washing the face with clean water, we can apply some toner on the face, which is helpful to shrink the pores. After tearing off the mask, don’t you think it’s a pity to waste the essence on it? At this time, we can stick it on our arms and reuse it.

There are many things to pay attention to when applying a facial mask. Sometimes you may have allergic reactions, so the first thing to do is to test whether you are allergic. Also, don’t leave the mask on for too long, 15 minutes is enough. Leaving it on for too long may cause skin discomfort or even acne.

How to use the cleansing mask

1. Wash your face before using a cleansing mask

Although the cleansing mask itself has the effect of cleansing the skin, you still need to wash your face with cleanser before use to remove the dirt and oil on the skin surface. This can also reduce the burden of the cleansing mask and make the mask more effective.

2. Apply hot compress before using cleansing mask

After washing your face with cleanser, you can apply a hot towel on your face, which will help open the pores of your facial skin and make the cleansing mask more effective. If you have a facial steamer, steaming your face for two minutes can also help expand your pores.

3. Avoid sensitive areas when cleaning the mask

Because cleansing masks can be irritating, try to avoid sensitive areas such as eyes and lips, and do not hurt the skin of your eyes and lips. If you apply a cleansing mask very close to your eyes and lips every time, the skin in these areas will age faster.

4. Pay attention to facial expressions when using a cleansing mask

Since cleansing masks have strong adsorption power, when using them, you should avoid making exaggerated expressions and do not let the facial skin be stretched apart, otherwise the dragging force between the facial skin and the cleansing mask will cause the facial skin to become loose.
