How long should men apply facial masks? In fact, men need to apply facial masks more

Skin care masks are not just for girls, boys can also use them. Now more and more boys are beginning to pay attention to the care of their skin. So, how long should men’s facial mask be applied?

How long should men's facial mask be applied?

It is best to apply it for 15 to 20 minutes each time. If you apply it for too long, the essence will evaporate and the mask will absorb more moisture and nutrients from the skin, which will be counterproductive. Over time, it will deepen the dry lines and fine lines on the face, and some skin allergies may cause allergic reactions.

How often should boys apply facial masks?

The frequency of applying facial masks is the same for men and women, and there is no difference between men and women. Best used 2 to 3 times a week. Men also need to apply facial masks frequently. Most men have a strong oily secretion, so it is best to choose a cleansing mask or a hydrating and moisturizing mask. A cleansing mask can effectively tighten pores and remove excess oil from the face, while a hydrating and moisturizing mask can hydrate and moisturize the skin while balancing the water and oil content of the skin.

Why do boys need to apply facial masks?

1. Thick stratum corneum: The stratum corneum of male skin is thicker than that of female skin, about 24% - 40% thicker. This means that male skin absorption capacity is relatively weaker and the skin is rougher. When the skin is dehydrated, it is more likely to produce dry skin and dandruff.

2. Excessive oil secretion: In the hot summer, boys' skin will secrete a lot of oil, and 80% of men have oily or combination skin, which means that men's skin is more likely to have skin problems such as enlarged pores and acne.

3. Fast aging in middle age: Men have more and more developed sebaceous glands. Before the age of 35, men’s skin is more elastic than women’s, less prone to fine lines, and ages slower than women. But after the age of 35, men's skin ages very rapidly, elasticity decreases and wrinkles appear directly in the dermis.

How do boys choose facial masks?

1. Choose a facial mask according to your personal skin type: Boys also need to choose a suitable facial mask according to their skin type in terms of skin care, so that their skin can be most effectively cared for. As a boy, you also need to learn to understand the condition of your skin first, so that you can better choose a facial mask that suits you.

2. Daily cleaning work cannot be ignored: Many boys do not pay enough attention to their skin in daily life, and do not deal with skin problems in time. This is incorrect. As a boy, you must also pay attention to daily cleaning and care. Insist on cleaning your face before going to bed every day. Night is the golden period for skin repair. You must clean your skin in time to give the skin enough space for repair and detoxification. Are you done with cleaning?

3. For oily skin, refreshing is the main thing: Different skin types should be cared for accordingly. The most troublesome one is oily skin. Boys also hate greasiness. For boys with oily skin, in addition to paying attention to skin cleansing on a daily basis, they should choose a more refreshing mask with efficient hydration and oil control. Persistent use can greatly improve oily skin.
