Can I use a sleeping mask every night? Do I have to use a sleeping mask before going to bed?

Facial masks are a skin care product that many girls use. Nowadays, sleeping masks are very popular among girls because they are “wash-free”. Some girls even use sleeping masks every day. So, can sleeping masks be applied every night? Do I have to use a sleeping mask before going to bed?

Can I use a sleeping mask every night?

Currently on the market, many sleeping mask instructions state that they should be applied after washing your face before going to bed every night. However, sleeping masks also contain many chemicals that are harmful to the skin, so they should not be used every day. So it’s best not to apply a layer every day before going to bed. It’s better to do it once every two days. If you use a sleeping mask every day, it can easily cause "overnutrition" and even the growth of fat particles. The skin’s self-repair ability will also decrease. If you use a facial mask during the day, a sleeping mask twice a week is enough. The method of using a sleeping mask is very simple. After cleansing the skin, you can apply the sleeping mask directly, or you can use other skin care products as a base and then apply the sleeping mask. Directly applying the sleeping mask mainly brings out the effect of the sleeping mask itself. Using other skin care products as a base is mainly to play the role of the sleeping mask in promoting absorption. Apply a thin layer of sleeping mask before going to bed, wait a few minutes for the sleeping mask to dry, and then you can go to sleep. Applying a sleeping mask and then massaging it until absorbed is a wrong way to use it. This is like using a sleeping mask as a night cream, which cannot bring out the true effect of the sleeping mask.

Do I have to use a sleeping mask before going to bed?

In fact, it is not necessarily used when sleeping. The origin of sleeping mask is due to the concept of massage cream and lazy skin care, and it usually has a multifunctional effect. If you have nearly 30 minutes (if you only have 15 minutes, it is recommended that you choose an ordinary facial mask), and want to perform lazy skin care (do other things while doing skin care) or a simple facial massage, you can use a sleeping mask to complete it. Some people are even in the habit of freezing the sleeping mask in the refrigerator, and some people use it to shrink pores or wake up the skin early in the morning.

Can sleeping masks be used during the day?

Sleeping mask can be used during the day. The difference between a sleeping mask and an ordinary mask is that a sleeping mask is wash-free. Generally, you apply the sleeping mask evenly on your face after basic care at night. After the mask is almost absorbed, you can go to sleep directly without washing it and clean it the next day. There is not much difference in ingredients between sleeping masks and ordinary masks. The formula of sleeping masks is mainly based on moisturizing and hydrating. They contain moisturizers such as glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, butylene glycol, etc., so there is no problem using sleeping masks during the day.

How long should I use a sleeping mask?

If you apply it during your lunch break, just wash off the excess mask on your face after waking up; if you apply it before putting on makeup, or before sleeping, generally it will be enough for 20-30 minutes. 20-30 minutes is enough for the sleeping mask to take effect. When washing, just rinse your face with clean water. Before using the sleeping mask at night, we will do some simple skin care work, such as applying toner, lotion, facial cream and other products. However, when using it during the day, we do not have as long sleep time as at night, so all skin care work is moved to after using the sleeping mask. Before using the sleeping mask, you need to cleanse your face first, apply some toner to help the skin open the pores, and then apply the sleeping mask directly, wash it after 20-30 minutes, and then apply toner, lotion, facial cream and other skin care products.
