Why does your skin get worse the more you use facial masks? You should know these skin care misunderstandings

Facial masks have many functions. The most commonly used one in winter is the hydrating and moisturizing mask. So in the dry season, many people will find that they apply facial masks every day, but why doesn’t their skin get better? Let’s take a look at what’s going on.

Facial masks are skin care products that can quickly replenish moisture, but many people also think that their faces are still very dry or even flaky after applying facial masks every day. Why is this?

Why does my skin get worse the more I use facial masks?

First point: Blindly apply more masks

Although applying facial mask is the fastest-acting skin care product, it can effectively replenish moisture to the skin. However, blindly applying too many facial masks can easily lead to a decrease in our skin's immune ability. Some celebrities have said that they apply several facial masks a day, believing that doing so can effectively hydrate the skin. But applying too much facial mask will harm our skin. If things go on like this for a long time, the skin barrier will be damaged, the skin's stratum corneum will become thinner, the skin will become sensitive, and it will be prone to redness and red blood streaks. Therefore, we must not apply facial masks blindly. Two to three times a week is best. If you use facial masks too much, your skin will not get better, but will get worse and worse.

Second: Apply a mask directly after washing your face

Many little cuties apply facial masks directly after washing their faces with clean water or facial cleanser. It is believed that doing so can allow our skin to absorb the nutrients in the mask most directly and achieve better results. In fact, after cleansing the skin, it is best to use toner as a base. Toner can help our skin to have a secondary cleansing effect and can thoroughly clean the dirt deep in the skin. Moreover, toner can help our skin replenish moisture. Only when the hydration work is done well can it help to apply a facial mask next time. The nutrients in the mask can be absorbed and the skin will get better and better.

Third: Don’t wash your face after applying the mask

This is a mistake that many cuties make after applying a facial mask. One of the reasons is that the instructions for use of the mask state that there is no need to wash the mask off after application and that you can directly do subsequent skin care work. Another reason is that I feel it is a pity to wash away the essence in the mask. Therefore, the essence left by the mask stays on the skin for a long time.

In fact, it is incorrect not to wash your skin after applying the mask. Our skin has absorbed enough nutrients in the 15 to 20 minutes of applying the mask, and the skin is close to saturation. If the essence of these masks continues to remain on the face, the skin will not only fail to continue absorbing it, but will cause pores to become clogged, causing various skin problems such as acne and fat particles. Therefore, if you don’t want your skin to get worse, be sure to wash your face after applying the mask!

If your skin becomes worse and more sensitive the more you apply facial masks, and if you develop acne and red blood streaks, you must carefully examine whether you are applying it the wrong way!
