How to use mud mask

1. Do an allergy test: Before using a mud mask, be sure to do an allergy test to see if your skin is suitable for a mud mask. This is a step that many people overlook. Test method: Apply a small amount of mud mask on the back of your hand or earlobe, wash it off after half an hour. If there is no redness or itching reaction at the applied area, you can apply it on your face.

2. Cleanse your face before using the mask mud: You should cleanse your face before using the mask mud. Thoroughly cleansing excess oil and dirt on your face will help the skin absorb the mask mud. If you don't clean your face thoroughly, the dirt on your face will enter your skin along with the nutrients in the mask mud, causing enlarged pores, clogged pores, acne, and spots on your face.

3. Hot compress on face: After washing your face and before applying the mud, applying hot compress on your face will help the mud mask absorb better. You can first apply a hot towel to your face for three minutes, and then massage all over your face for three to five minutes to open the pores and facilitate absorption.

4. Moisturizing the face: Before using the mask mud, 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.

5. Apply mud mask: Take an appropriate amount of mud mask and apply it evenly on the face. When applying the mud mask, you must pay attention to the order of using the mud mask on the face, that is: cheeks → lips → nose wings → forehead. ?Because temperature affects the effectiveness and penetration of skin care products, the lower the temperature, the less effective they are. The temperature around the cheeks and lips is low, while the temperature around the forehead and nose is high. It is best to buy a mud mask that comes with a small spoon to avoid direct contact with your hands, which will affect the effect of the mud mask.

6. Wait for the mud mask to work: After applying the mud mask on your face, do not wait until the mud is completely dry, hardened or even formed into a shell before washing it off. First, it is not easy to clean; second, leaving it on for too long will backfire and irritate the skin. When cleaning, the minerals and other raw materials in the mud mask are too rough and may scratch the skin. The best time to clean is when the mud film is half dry.

7. Cleaning the mud mask: The mud mask is generally used for 20 minutes. Therefore, after 20 minutes, first use a mask stick to scrape off the excess mask on your face. Note that you should scrape the mud mask gently to avoid damaging the facial skin. Then use a professional mask cleansing puff to clean the excess mask mud on your face along the skin texture. Remember to clean from bottom to top. This will not only thoroughly clean the remaining mask mud on your face, but also have a firming and lifting effect.
