Can I apply a hydrating mask every day? How often should I apply a hydrating mask?

Can I apply a hydrating mask every day? Many girls feel that their skin is dry so they hope to hydrate it by applying a hydrating mask, but will there be side effects if they use too much hydrating mask? Let’s take a look at it together.

Can I use a hydrating mask every day?

Can't. There are many types of hydrating masks. For example, some masks are meant to be used for intensive maintenance for several days in a row to play a role in concentrated repair, such as Olay's Nutrient Hydrating Mask, Biotherm's Thermal Water Element Mask, Aqua-O's Eight Minutes Eight Cups of Water Hydrating Mask, Lancome's Moisture Edge Soothing Moisturizing Mask, and SK-11's Nourishing Mask, etc., which can be applied continuously for 3 to 6 days (that is, one mask per day until a box is used up) to rebuild damaged dry skin and continuously replenish a large amount of moisture for the skin. Use it for many consecutive days to restore your skin to a delicate and smooth state!

It usually belongs to the first aid category, but it is not easy to use for a long time (for example, if you are severely dehydrated in the closed cabin of an airplane and your skin loses a lot of moisture, applying a piece immediately can immediately relieve tight and tired skin~ In addition, for example, when filming, you need to wear stage makeup for 2 to 3 consecutive months, and sometimes change your makeup several times a day, which is very harmful to the skin and takes away a lot of moisture from the skin. You can apply a piece of first aid on the set for several weeks or even months...but this is not necessary for daily care. It is enough to apply it twice a month. If your skin is in good condition, apply it once a month for a few days at most, and then 1 to 2 times a week is enough).

Of course, the above masks can usually be removed for daily care and can be used 1 to 2 times a week. Can I use a hydrating mask every day? Some wash-off masks or leave-on masks are best not used every day, because these masks are mostly airtight, and their purpose is to open the pores in a closed space to input sufficient moisture to replenish the skin's needs. If used 1 to 2 times a week, the skin will be more shiny and tender, and it can refine the pores and skin texture. However, if used every day, it will lead to enlarged pores (because if the pores are opened for 15 to 30 minutes a day, it will be difficult for the pores to restore elasticity and tension over time, and they will become enlarged). In addition, this type of mask itself is a special care product, which has the effect of intensive maintenance. If used for a long time, the skin will become dependent on it, and then non-masks will be needed, and other moisturizing products will not be able to meet the skin's large needs. If the supply is excessive, the stratum corneum will become thinner, the skin will be very fragile and more sensitive, and it will become red, swollen and itchy if you are not careful.

Of course, products like the Oasis Eight Cups of Water Mask (Cream) from Aqua-Zoo are actually creams that can be used as masks. The gel texture does not add burden to the skin, so this type of mask can be used every day. To use it, apply a large amount of the mask to the cleansed face (2 to 3 times more than the amount used for the cream), keep it on for 15 to 30 minutes (after 30 minutes, it will take away moisture from the skin), then wipe it off with a tissue or cotton pad, massage the remaining mask until it is completely absorbed, then apply moisturizing lotion/cream (you can also use this cream that can be used as a mask) to lock in moisture, and that’s it! Such a dual-use product that can be used as a mask and a cream can be used every day when needed. It will not harm the skin and can provide more nutrients and protection.
