How to use eye mask correctly? Many office workers' eyes age easily due to looking at computers every day, so eye care is very important. Can eye masks help us maintain our eyes? Let’s take a look at it together.

How to use eye mask correctly

1. Depending on the condition of the skin around the eyes, use the eye mask 1 to 2 times a week.

2. You need to thoroughly clean your skin before applying the eye mask. Residual makeup and dirt on the skin may affect the effect of the eye mask, so be sure to use eye makeup remover to thoroughly clean the skin around the eyes.

3. Before applying the eye mask, first warm your eyes with a hot towel, then take out the eye mask from the refrigerator and apply it. This can accelerate blood circulation in the eyes.

4. After applying the eye mask, you should use eye cream to better moisturize the skin around the eyes and maintain the effect.

5. The eye mask should be stuck in place. When applying it, press it with your hands so that it can fit better with the skin.

How long should I use the eye mask?

It is usually best to apply eye mask between 9 and 11 o'clock before going to bed. In addition, the critical periods for applying eye masks are after exercise and one week after the end of menstruation, because the moisture content of the skin generally increases after exercise, and the effect of applying the eye mask will be doubled; after the menstrual period is the follicular phase, during this period the skin's absorption capacity will also become particularly good, which is very suitable for applying eye masks to moisturize the eye skin. If your eyes are puffy in the morning, you can apply an eye mask for maintenance after cleaning your face.

Eye mask usage cycle

In general, it is recommended to use eye masks 2-3 times a week, which is similar to the usage cycle of facial masks. If emergency repair is needed, you can use an eye mask with pure hydrating effect for three consecutive days in the short term. Eye masks with special effects or intensive repair only need to be used once a week to avoid overnutrition.

Does the eye mask need to be cleaned?

This needs to be judged based on the texture of the eye mask and the feeling after use. If the beauty liquid in the eye mask is clear and has good fluidity, then you can just massage it more after applying the eye mask to help the skin absorb it, and there is no need to wash it off. If the eye mask feels sticky after use, then in order to ensure that the pores of the eye skin are not blocked, it is recommended to wash it off after use.
