Why is my face still dry after applying a mask? How to apply different types of masks

Many women are very fond of applying facial masks, believing that it can replenish a lot of water to the skin and prevent the skin from being dry in autumn and winter. But there are many types of facial masks, and some masks may make your face drier the more you apply them. Do you know why?

Why is my face still dry after applying a mask?

The reason why your face is still dry after applying a facial mask every day may be due to the wrong way of applying the mask, the subsequent moisturizing work is not done well, or the daily maintenance is not in place. Improving these situations can restore your skin to moisture.

1. Wrong way of applying mask:

Before applying a facial mask, we must read the mask application methods written on the packaging of various types of masks. Generally, they will tell you in detail how to apply the mask and how long to apply the mask. Generally speaking, you should clean the mask before applying it each time, and the application time should not be too long. Ordinary masks usually last for fifteen to twenty minutes, and must not exceed 20 minutes. Applying a facial mask for too long will have an adverse effect on your face. The mask paper will absorb moisture from your face, making your face naturally dry.

2. The subsequent moisturizing work was not done well:

Don’t think that your skin will definitely get better if you apply a facial mask every day! After applying the mask, we also need to massage the face appropriately, then clean the face, continue with the subsequent maintenance steps, and strictly follow the daily skin care level. Water and lotion help our skin lock in the moisture replenished when applying the mask just now. Because lotion has the effect of locking in moisture, and toner has the effect of replenishing moisture, both replenishing moisture and locking in moisture are essential.

3. Daily maintenance is not in place:

We must apply sunscreen on our face at ordinary times to prevent the skin from being damaged by ultraviolet rays and causing the skin to become drier and drier. Moreover, in spring and autumn, the wind and sand are relatively strong. Even if your skin is relatively good, if you do not protect it well in daily life, the wind and sand will still dry out your skin, resulting in the mask not being fully effective! Using facial masks is only a basic maintenance method in our daily life, and it cannot be a one-time solution. Therefore, everyone must use the mask correctly, maximize the effect of the mask, and do not waste every mask used.

How to apply different types of facial masks

1. Sheet masks are the most common masks. They can quickly replenish moisture and are also the most commonly used type of masks in our daily lives. Generally speaking, after removing the mask 15 minutes after application, gently pat and massage with your fingers in circles to help the skin better absorb the essence of the mask.

2. Mud masks are generally cleansing masks. It is best to use them once a week to make your skin cleaner and whiter. And the cleansing masks are all colored, black, gray, white...

When applying, remember to use an application tool to apply it evenly on your face, and try to avoid the area around the eyes, because the nerves and skin around the eyes are relatively fragile. If the mask essence accidentally enters the area, it will still feel a little stinging.

3. Sleeping masks are the favorite of many lazy girls. They are also very easy to use. Just apply a layer after lotion and you can go to bed directly. It is very convenient, especially for girls with dry skin. The effect of sleeping masks is simply amazing.

Most sleeping masks are gel or cream texture, which can form a protective film on the surface of the face, allowing the skin to fully absorb nutrients at night. However, I would like to remind girls with oily skin that it is not recommended to use sleeping masks that are too sticky or contain too much moisturizing and nutritional ingredients. Otherwise, acne is bound to be a common occurrence!

4. Peel-off mask is a type of cleansing mask, which is actually an enhanced version of mud mask. Its main function is to remove dirt in pores, blackheads, whiteheads, acne, etc. Its texture is a thick liquid.

After cleansing, apply an appropriate amount on the face and neck. After 15-20 minutes, the surface of the mask will become dry and feel tight like wearing a mask. Wait for the mask to dry and then tear it off from bottom to top. This process will be accompanied by slight pain.

It is somewhat irritating to the skin, so people with acne or sensitive skin should use it with caution! Be sure to wash off the residue and dirt on your face after use. It is best to apply some astringent water or toner to shrink the pores to achieve the effect of shrinking the pores.
