Should I apply the mask first or the ampoule first? What will happen if I don't wash my face after applying the mask?

There are many categories of skin care products, and different facial masks have different functions. Ampoules and facial masks are two very popular skin care products. Ampoules and facial masks do not need to be used at the same time. Ampoules are concentrated essence products.

Should I apply the mask first or the ampoule first?

You should use the mask first and then the ampoule. Ampoule and mask cannot be used together. Both ampoules and facial masks are high in nutritional value. Using them together will make them difficult for the skin to absorb and will also add burden to the skin. Use a mask first, then use an ampoule after cleansing, and then normal basic skin care. Ampoules are super concentrated essences with high nutritional value and are not intended for daily skin care products. Ampoules can be used for periodic maintenance but should not be used frequently. Facial masks can generally be used two or three times a week.

The order of using ampoules and masks

Ampoules and masks do not need to be used at the same time, because ampoule itself is a highly concentrated essence that can supplement nutrients that other skin care products cannot provide. Ampoules are usually packaged in glass bottles, and one end needs to be broken off when using them. The essence contained in them is more than 10 times that of ordinary essences, with a high concentration and quick effect. It can inject nutrients into the skin and speed up the metabolism of skin cells. After using the ampoule, the skin looks very smooth and elastic, which is an effect that a facial mask cannot achieve. If the ampoule is not fully used, it needs to be refrigerated. Once the lid is broken off, it must be used up within 2 days. Another thing to note is that ampoules cannot be used every day. Facial masks are generally a disposable skin care product in daily skin care. They can provide moisture to the skin and make the skin hydrated. Some people apply facial masks every day, but their functions are relatively simple, which makes them inferior to ampoules. Ampoules can smooth fine lines and calm the skin, and some also have whitening and anti-aging ingredients. After cleansing, you can use the ampoule directly. After use, you can adjust the skin care steps according to the needs of the skin. Some people choose to apply the ampoule and be done with it, while others choose to apply a product such as a facial cream. These vary from person to person.

What happens if you don't wash your face after applying a mask?

Not washing your face after applying a facial mask may make your skin more dehydrated and may also cause skin pores to become clogged. Because there is a lot of essence in the mask, which can provide sufficient nutrients and moisture to the skin, some mask essences will be a little sticky. If you don't wash it off, the skin pores will be clogged all night, and whiteheads and blackheads will grow in the long run. It is also possible that the essence ingredients in the mask do not have a moisture-locking effect, so not washing it off may cause more dehydration. Many people have a habit of not washing off the mask essence after applying the mask, leaving the mask essence on their face overnight. This situation is very common, but it is completely undesirable. The essence in the mask is completely different from the essence in skin care products. Most of the essences in the mask are very viscous, and the skin will feel sticky if it is not washed. However, there is also a situation where the essence in the mask is very watery, and even if it is not washed, it will quickly make the skin tight and dry. Therefore, no matter which mask essence you use, you need to wash it off with water after use, so as not to make the skin more dehydrated. After washing off the mask, you still need to take the correct steps to care for your skin. Water, essence and lotion are all indispensable. Only after providing the skin with sufficient nutrients can the skin have more opportunities to repair itself, and the skin will not lack nutrients and moisture at night. If your face feels slippery when washing with clean water, it is because the essence of the mask has not been cleaned thoroughly. You need to use a facial cleanser to clean it carefully and then take care of your skin.

How often should I apply a facial mask?

The frequency of use of facial masks is different. The normal usage frequency of a moisturizing mask is 3-4 times a week, the normal usage frequency of a whitening and anti-wrinkle facial mask is 1-2 times a week, and the normal usage frequency of a cleansing facial mask is once a week.
