Can I apply two masks in a row?

Some young ladies have a lot of facial masks at home and want to know if they can use two masks consecutively. Let’s take a look at whether this is possible.

Can I apply two masks in a row?

Do not apply two facial masks consecutively, because excessive use of facial masks will cause over-hydration reaction of the skin and weaken the skin barrier. It may also cause skin irritation due to high concentration of certain ingredients and low skin tolerance.

The effect of facial mask on skin

1. Packaging and penetration enhancement

The working principle of the facial mask is similar to that of the wet compress in medicine. It blocks the contact between the skin and the air, creates a local environment with higher humidity, enhances the permeability of the skin, and promotes the absorption of effective ingredients.

2. Hydration

The moisture in the mask can fully moisturize the skin's stratum corneum, increase the water content of the stratum corneum, enhance its transparency, and improve its appearance.

3. Cleansing effect

The facial mask has an adhesion or adsorption effect. When the mask is removed, skin impurities (surface keratinocytes, residual makeup, excess sebum, etc.) are removed along with the mask, promoting the patency of skin hair follicles and the smooth discharge of sebum.

Does the mask need to be refrigerated?

Sheet masks can be stored in the refrigerator. It is recommended to keep the facial mask in the refrigerator mainly in summer. Because the weather in summer is hot and unbearable, and the hot weather will stimulate the pores to open. At this time, a cool mask can soothe and calm the skin, and shrink pores, which is very comfortable. So you can choose to put it in the refrigerator or not according to your needs.
