Why should you apply facial skin care products before applying eye mask?

1. Cleansing will take away some moisture from the skin, so the skin will feel a little dry and tight after cleansing. This is when it needs moisture replenishment. If you wait until you have applied the eye mask before applying facial skincare products, it will be a little late.

2. After cleansing, the pores are unblocked and the skin is in its cleanest state. If you apply skin care products at this time, the nutrients can directly penetrate into the pores. If you apply nothing after cleansing and apply an eye mask first, bacteria, dust and other tiny particles may remain on the skin during the application of the eye mask. If you apply skin care products afterwards, the effect will not be as good as at the beginning.

Apply eye care products after applying the eye mask

1. In addition to eye masks, eye skin care products include eye cream, eye essence, eye gel, etc. These skin care products have the effects of moisturizing, eliminating eye bags, dark circles, and preventing wrinkles at the corners of the eyes. Using them after applying the eye mask can further care for the skin around the eyes.

2. Eye cream, eye essence, eye gel and other products have excellent moisturizing effect. Using them after applying eye mask can form a sealing layer on the skin around the eyes, which can better retain the nutrients in the eye mask in the skin around the eyes and play a long-term protective role.

3. If you apply eye cream first and then eye mask, it is the same as applying lotion and cream first and then facial mask. There is already a layer of eye cream on the skin, so the nutrients of the eye mask will be more difficult to enter the skin. This will greatly reduce the effectiveness of the eye mask.

Do I need to wash off the eye mask after applying it?

Whether to wash it off or not depends on the individual. Everyone uses a different brand of eye mask, and everyone's skin has a different absorption capacity. After using the eye mask, there will usually be some essence left on the skin around the eyes. Massage your eyes to help absorb the remaining essence. If you feel that the skin absorbs it well and feels refreshed and not sticky, you don't need to wash it off. If you still feel that the skin around the eyes is sticky and stuffy after massage, you need to rinse the skin around the eyes with clean water to avoid clogging the pores.
