The order of using a facial steamer and a facial mask Do not use a facial steamer and a facial mask at the same time

Facial steamers and facial masks both have very good beauty effects. Using a facial steamer and a facial mask together will have a better effect on beauty and skin care. So which one should be used first, the facial steamer or the facial mask?

The order of using facial steamer and facial mask

Use a facial steamer first, then a facial mask. The high-temperature steam sprayed by the facial steamer can expand the pores of the skin. After steaming your face, use warm water to clean the oil and dirt in the pores. At this time, use a facial mask. The skin pores have not yet closed and the pores are usually not blocked. The nutrients and moisture of the facial mask can be absorbed by the skin faster and reach the deep layer of the skin. Using a facial steamer and a facial mask can double the effect of skin care and beauty.

Wrong order of using facial steamer and mask

Do not use a facial steamer and a facial mask at the same time

Many people will steam their face while applying a facial mask, thinking that this will be more effective because steaming will open the pores and the nutrients in the mask will be better absorbed. In fact, this method is wrong. Because a facial steamer has a deep cleansing effect, after the high-temperature steam opens the pores, the dirt in the pores runs out of the skin. At this time, when a facial mask is applied to the skin, the dirt in the pores cannot come out but may be absorbed into the skin along with the nutrients in the mask. Therefore, it is best not to use a facial steamer and a facial mask at the same time.

Don't steam your face after applying a mask

Although applying a facial mask before steaming your face does not do any harm to the skin, it will greatly reduce the effectiveness of the mask. Because if you apply the mask first, it will only achieve the ordinary effect of the mask. After applying the mask, there are still a lot of mask essence remaining on the skin surface and in the pores, which have not had time to be completely absorbed. At this time, using a facial steamer to steam your face, the cleansing effect of the facial steamer may cause the nutrients on the surface to be steamed out, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the mask.

Benefits of using facial steamers and facial masks correctly

Enhance absorption

The high temperature of a facial steamer can expand the pores of the skin and clean away the dirt in the pores. Using a facial mask after using a facial steamer can allow the mask's nutrients to be better absorbed by the skin and reach deep into the skin, fully exerting the mask's effectiveness.

Improve utilization

When we use a facial steamer, the running speed of skin cells will speed up, and the speed at which cells absorb and release nutrients will also speed up, which will speed up the metabolism of skin cells. At this time, if you apply a facial mask, the utilization rate will be greatly improved, allowing the nutritional essence in the mask to be fully utilized, and the effect after applying the mask will also be improved.

Precautions when using facial steamers and facial masks

After steaming your face and before applying a facial mask, you must wash your face with hot water, because when we steam our face, the dirt in the pores is steamed out, but it still remains on the surface of the skin. At this time, you need to wash your face to wash off the grease and dirt, and then apply a facial mask. If you apply a facial mask without washing your face, the oil and dirt will return to your pores. It is best to use hot water to wash your face. Using cold water will cause the pores to close, and the absorption rate of the mask will be reduced.
