The order of using eye mask and facial mask: which one should be applied first?

Eye patches and facial masks are two common skin care products. They both contain rich nutrients and can play a good role in skin care. So, what is the order of using eye masks and facial masks?

The order of using eye masks and facial masks

There is no fixed order for applying eye masks and facial masks. Generally, eye masks are applied first, because they need to be placed inside facial masks. This way, the eye masks are not easy to fall off and can also promote better absorption by the eye skin. But if the mask you are using does not have an eye area, you can use the eye mask and the facial mask at the same time.

Skin care steps for eye masks and facial masks

1. Cleansing

You need to clean your face before using eye patches and facial masks. Only when the excess oil and dirt on your face are cleaned away can the subsequent eye patches and facial masks achieve the best results.

2. Make-up water

After cleansing, use toner. Toner can play a secondary cleansing role and also act as a base for the skin, allowing subsequent eye patches and facial masks to achieve the best results.

3. Eye mask

After applying toner, you can then use the eye mask. You can take the eye patch and apply it directly to the skin under your eyes. Generally, the eye patch can be applied for 20-30 minutes. After that, remove the eye patch and gently massage to promote absorption.

4. Facial mask

After applying the eye mask, you can then take out the facial mask and gently apply it to the entire face. After 10-15 minutes, remove it from your face, rinse it with clean water, and then proceed with subsequent skin care steps. If the facial mask you are using does not have an eye area, you can use the eye mask and facial mask at the same time.

5. Subsequent skin care steps

After using eye patches and facial masks, you need to follow up with daily skin care steps such as toner-eye cream-essence-lotion/face cream to lock in the previous nutrients.
