How to identify the quality of facial masks by checking the smell

Facial masks are very familiar to many women, but are the masks they buy of good quality? How can we identify the quality of facial masks?

We are just ordinary people and are not very professional in identifying facial masks, but we can use some small methods to roughly judge the quality of the mask. How do we do it? Let’s take a look:

How to identify the quality of facial masks

Step 1: Check

Low-quality facial masks are usually “three-no” products. Therefore, before we buy a facial mask, we must first ask the shopping guide or customer service for the relevant certificates of this mask, such as health license, quality inspection certification, and production license. If you are sure that this mask has all the relevant certificates and has good reputation and quality, you can buy it.

Step 2: Try

Don’t rush to apply the facial mask you buy on your face after you get it home. Test it first to see if it’s suitable for your skin. Sometimes, even if the mask is of good quality, it may cause allergies if it is not suitable for your skin. You can wipe the essence in the mask behind your ears to see if you will have allergies. If no problems occur, you can use it on your face.

Step 3: Smell

Before applying the mask, it is best to smell the mask first. Especially for sensitive skin, if you smell a pungent smell, it is best not to use it, because it must have added many unknown chemical ingredients, which will definitely cause allergies after use. If it has a light fragrance, you can use it with confidence.

Step 4: Use

Finally, apply it on your face to see the effects of the mask. First, you need to observe whether the mask fits well and the thickness of the mask paper. Secondly, you need to feel the permeability of the essence in the mask. If the mask paper is thin and fits well, and the essence penetrates very well, it proves that this mask is good. If you feel uncomfortable after applying a facial mask and your skin remains the same after use, you should consider changing the mask.

If you want to try out whether a facial mask is good or not, you cannot try it out directly when you buy it. You can only tell by smelling and looking at the mask packaging. You will only know whether it is good or not after you have used it yourself.

Choose a mask based on your skin type

1. Oily skin

A hydrating, oil-controlling mask and a deep cleansing mask. Moisturizing and oil-controlling masks generally have both the effects of moisturizing and oil-controlling. On the one hand, oil-controlling can reduce greasiness, and on the other hand, moisturizing can balance oil and reduce greasiness. A deep cleansing mask can help the skin absorb deep oil and dirt, clear the pores, and help keep the skin's pores unobstructed.

2. Dry skin

(1) Nourishing and moisturizing facial mask. For dry skin with a thin stratum corneum and severe water loss, it is recommended to use a facial mask with higher moisturizing and nutritional content, especially in the dry and cold autumn and winter seasons. A highly moisturizing facial mask can replenish the skin's missing moisture and nutrition for a longer period of time. It can also make dry skin safer.

(2) Deep moisturizing mask. Whether it is the oily T-zone or the relatively dry U-zone, hydrating and moisturizing masks are useful. For the oily T-zone, it can balance the excess oil, and for the relatively dry U-zone, it can also have a deep hydrating effect. Of course, when choosing a moisturizing mask, the essence inside should be as refreshing and easy to absorb as possible. It will not bring a greasy feeling to the oily T-zone, but also provide deep and lasting nourishment to the dehydrated U-zone.

3. Sensitive skin

A natural restorative facial mask. You should know that sensitive skin is actually a skin with poor tolerance, a thin stratum corneum, and severely damaged sebum membrane, which makes it particularly susceptible to the influence of the external environment. Therefore, it is recommended that this type of skin choose a repairing mask, which can repair damaged skin cells and enhance the skin's tolerance. In addition, because this type of skin has poor tolerance, the selected mask essence formula must be natural and contain no irritating ingredients.
