Is the mud mask dry or wet?

Before using the mud mask, you should keep your face moisturized. Use toner or spray. This is to avoid drying out the skin when applying the mud mask.

For dry skin, moisturize your face before using the mud mask. In addition to achieving the effect of hydrating and moisturizing, it can also soothe the skin on your face and reduce the irritation of the mud mask to the skin.


How thick is the mud film?

The cleansing mud mask should not be applied too thickly or too thinly. The thickness of the application should be enough to evenly cover the skin. Mud masks need to be of a certain thickness. If they are too thin, they will dry up quickly after being applied on the face, and the skin will dry up before it has time to absorb the maintenance ingredients in them. However, they cannot be too thick either. If they are too thick, not only will the mask be wasted, but it will also make the skin feel suffocated, and the effect of applying the mask will not be very good.

Can I use a hydrating mask after using the mud mask?

After using the mud mask, you can use a facial mask, either a moisturizing mask or a whitening mask, both of which can double the effect. After applying the mud mask, the pores have been opened. If you apply a facial mask, the nutrients can penetrate into the deep layers of the skin, and the effect will be better. Mud masks can be used with moisturizing masks. The function of mud masks is to clean, and they can clean facial dirt and garbage in the pores, but the moisture in the skin will also be taken away in the process, so hydration is needed, and hydrating masks are definitely the best hydrating products, which can double the effect after application. Mud masks can also be used with whitening masks. Whitening masks are only effective when they penetrate deep into the skin, so the best time to use them is after the mud mask opens the pores. Whitening masks also have the effect of hydrating and moisturizing, and are a good partner with mud masks. As a type of facial mask, mud mask has various effects. Although the common feature of mud masks is deep cleansing, some focus on hydrating, some focus on removing blackheads, and some focus on shrinking pores. But no matter what the function of the mud mask is, it needs to be used in combination with other products. Even if you don’t use it with a facial mask, mud masks can be used with regular skin care products. It is of utmost importance to remember to moisturize after using the mud mask.


Why does the mud mask cause stinging?

The main purpose of applying a facial mask is to replenish water, and the mask contains a large amount of propylene glycol, propylene glycol or hyaluronic acid, which are effective hydrating agents. If your facial skin is relatively dry, if you choose to use a mask with very strong and large amounts of hydrating agents, you may experience stinging sensation, which is normal. It is mainly the rapid hydration of the thirsty stratum corneum cells after being exposed to hydrating substances outside the body, which is a normal phenomenon.
