How often should you use an anti-aging mask? How to use an anti-aging mask correctly

​Anti-aging is a must-talk topic for every woman with mature skin. If you do a good job in anti-aging, you can look younger than your peers. So as for the anti-aging masks that are popular recently, are they used in the same way as ordinary masks? Let’s take a look.

Anti-aging masks, as the name suggests, have the effects and functions of anti-aging, anti-aging and anti-wrinkle. So for sisters who are considering buying anti-aging masks, let’s take a look at the correct method and time to use anti-aging masks.

How often should you use an anti-aging mask?

2-3 times a week is enough, not suitable for daily use.

This is because the metabolism of the skin requires a certain amount of time. If you do it every day, the skin cannot absorb it. Instead, it will cause the skin to be overburdened and cause unnecessary skin problems.

Facial masks are generally used 2-3 times a week. At least apply it every other day. Using facial mask too many times will affect the skin's absorption and hinder the skin's breathing. Never eat facial mask as a meal. It is best not to use any facial mask every day. The skin needs to breathe, and if used every day, the skin will become much more sensitive.

Most anti-aging masks contain high levels of nutrients. Using them every day will result in an excess of nutrients, which the skin will not be able to absorb.

How to use anti-aging mask correctly

1. Basic cleaning is required before applying anti-aging mask

Only when the oil, sebum and aging cuticles on the surface of the skin are completely removed can the skin be truly clean, the cells at the bottom of the skin will become active, and the skin will absorb more nutrients. Therefore, before applying the mask, you should remove makeup and wash your face, and exfoliate if necessary.

2. Keep the mask on for 15-20 minutes

There will usually be a note on the packaging of sheet masks that the recommended usage time is 10 to 15 minutes, which is the best time for the skin to absorb nutrients. If the time is exceeded, the mask fabric will become dry and will absorb moisture from the skin surface, causing the skin to become drier the more it is applied. Many people think that if they don’t apply the mask for a long enough time, they will waste the essence of the mask. However, the skin’s absorption capacity is limited. Long application time does not mean more absorption. It can also cause skin hypoxia, yellowing, and even redness, swelling and allergies, so you have to control the time you apply the mask.

3. Basic maintenance after application cannot be omitted

Skip the toner step but be sure to continue with the follow-up cream. Because applying a facial mask is equivalent to replenishing a certain amount of moisture to the skin, and the pores are open at this time. If basic care is not continued, the moisture in the skin will quickly evaporate. Therefore, it is best to continue applying skin care products after applying the mask to lock in the moisture replenished by the mask.

In addition to the incorrect way of applying the mask, many people also don’t know how to choose an anti-aging mask that suits them. The first thing to look at is of course the ingredients. The ingredients of a facial mask that can effectively fight aging should be those that can nourish cell aging from the inside out.

The above is the introduction about anti-aging masks. Although masks are good, don’t be too greedy. Remember, you only need to apply it 2-3 times a week.
