Can the essence of the mask be stored for use the next day? How to apply the mask to get twice the result with half the effort

What should I do if there is too much essence in the facial mask? Can I save it for use the next day? Do you have the same confusion? Let’s take a look together!

Can I store the mask essence for use the next day?

Can't. Once the mask is opened, it will come into contact with the air. The indoor temperature will oxidize the active ingredients. The residual liquid that cannot be absorbed must be used within 1 hour, otherwise it will be ineffective. Even if it is sealed and placed in the refrigerator, the outer layer of the mask that has been in contact with the skin and air in the air has already absorbed countless microorganisms. These microorganisms grow very fast, and the temperature in the refrigerator is usually sufficient for the microorganisms to reproduce.

What to do with unused facial mask essence

You can rub your body. Normally our neck and limbs are exposed to ultraviolet rays for a long time. The excess mask essence can be used to wipe the neck, arms and legs, and the joints can be massaged to improve the problems of face and neck division or dark joints. You can also use a compressed mask to absorb the remaining essence in the bag and share it with your boyfriend or family, which is more economical.

How to apply facial mask more effectively

1. Warm the mask before applying

Put the mask in 37°C warm water. The temperature should not be too high to avoid destroying the ingredients. The warm mask can open the pores and make it easier to absorb.

2. Apply after bathing

Because the process of bathing can open the pores, the skin can better absorb the nutrients in the mask.

3. Massage with essence before applying mask

Before applying the mask, take an appropriate amount of essence and massage to promote blood circulation in the face, so that subsequent nutrients can be better absorbed.

4. The time should not exceed 20 minutes

The mask will have sufficient contact with the air on our face. The nutrients that can be absorbed by the skin can be completely absorbed within 15-20 seconds. However, leaving it in contact for too long will create an environment for the growth of bacteria and microorganisms on the surface.

5. Massage your skin after removing the mask

After removing the mask, you can use your hands or an instrument to gently massage the skin for better absorption.

6. Moisturizing is required afterwards

Applying cream afterwards can lock in the previous moisture and essence, making the moisturizing effect longer-lasting and more obvious.

Should I wash my face after applying the mask?

Yes, if the preservatives remaining on the mask stay on the face for a long time, it will harm the skin. If you don't wash off the excess essence, the sticky, unabsorbed essence will stick to the dirt and dust in the air.
