What happens if you don't wash your mask? Don't make these mistakes when applying masks

There will be a lot of essence on the mask, and it will be wet. Many people believe that not washing your face allows the skin to continue absorbing nutrients. So do I have to wash my face after applying the mask? What happens if you don’t wash it?

What happens if you don't wash the mask?

If the essence of the mask is not washed off, it will adhere to the skin and cause a burden on the skin. The excess nutrients will not be absorbed and will be exposed to the air and come into contact with bacteria, thus entering the pores. In addition to essence, facial mask essence also contains thickener. If it is not cleaned in time, it will act as a sticky agent and attract many bacteria that are unfriendly to the skin.

What are the precautions for applying facial mask?

1. Choose different masks according to different skin conditions

For oily skin, it is best to choose a refreshing and non-greasy hydrating mask and a cleansing mud mask. For dry skin, you can choose a moisturizing mask for this skin type. The moisturizing mask can make the moisturizing effect last longer.

2. How often to use the mask

It is not recommended to apply facial masks every day, because the nutritional content of facial masks is very high. Applying them every day will result in the skin not being able to absorb the essence, which will easily cause the essence to float on the face and cause clogging of hair follicles. It is best to apply it 2 to 3 times a week. It is best to adjust the time according to "age and skin condition" and "type of mask".

The correct steps for applying a facial mask

If you want the mask to achieve the best absorption effect, you must remember to deep cleanse your skin before applying the mask to avoid clogging of skin follicles that affects skin absorption. After cleaning, you can pat your skin with water to activate the skin cells and prepare for mask absorption. It is best to lie flat on the bed when applying the mask to make the skin more conducive to absorption. After applying the mask, be sure to wash it with clean water, and then apply essence lotion to moisturize the skin to promote skin absorption and metabolism and enhance the effect of the mask.

Mask application time

The best time to apply a facial mask is about 10 to 15 minutes. You can refer to the usage time on the mask package for specific details. Don't think that the longer you apply it, the better the effect. Don't wait until the mask is dry before taking it off, as this will cause the mask paper to absorb moisture from the skin.
