Do you still use facial mask after using mud mask? What should you pay attention to when using mud mask?

Both facial masks and mud masks have the skin care effects of deep cleansing, hydrating and moisturizing the skin. Many people like to use mud masks and facial masks together. So, do you need to use a facial mask after using a mud mask? Let’s take a look~

Should I use a facial mask after using a mud mask?

No need to use facial mask anymore. Applying a facial mask after a mud mask is equivalent to applying it twice at once, which will cause overnutrition to the skin and make fat particles appear easily. Moreover, facial masks generally contain some irritants, which will make the skin's stratum corneum thinner after using a mud mask. Using a facial mask again may cause skin allergies and other problems. It is recommended to use a mud mask once a week and a facial mask two to three times a week.

Precautions for making mud mask

1. Take an allergy test

Before using a mud mask, be sure to do an allergy test to see if your skin is suitable for a mud mask. Apply a small amount of mud mask on the back of your hand or earlobe, wash it off after half an hour. If there is no redness or itching at the applied area, you can apply it on your face.

2. Clean your face

A clean face is conducive to the absorption of the mud mask and also prevents dirt and dust from entering the pores. Removing makeup and washing your face are basic cleansing. Choose a suitable cleanser for your face according to your skin type, and exfoliate first if necessary.

3. Hot compress on face

After washing your face, applying hot compress to your face before applying the mud will help the mud mask absorb better. You can first apply a hot towel to your face for three minutes, and then massage your face for three to five minutes to open the pores and facilitate absorption.

4. Moisturizing your face

Because most mud masks only clean the face and do not have much moisturizing effect, mud masks are dry, so before applying the mud mask, it is best to moisturize your face. You can spray toner and then apply the mud mask.
