The magical effect of plastic wrap on the face Why should we cover the face with plastic wrap when making a mask

When applying plastic wrap on your face, make sure to use it with a facial mask. Adding a layer of plastic wrap on the outside of the mask can promote absorption, so that the deep skin can better absorb water, lotion or essence. But using plastic wrap alone is not enough. It is completely useless and will also hinder the normal breathing of the pores. The pores of the skin also need to breathe. Wrapping your face with plastic wrap for too long will cause redness and swelling, and produce small red bumps, which will also be very itchy.

Wrapping your face with plastic wrap for too long will cause redness and swelling, and produce small red bumps, which will also be very itchy.

Why should we cover the mask with plastic wrap?

Because after applying the mask on your face and then wrapping it with plastic wrap, the heat generated by your breathing and the body itself can open the pores, so that the deep skin can better absorb water, lotion or essence. This method also has certain scientific basis. Sunil Chopra of the London Dermatology Center in the UK said that doctors will also wrap psoriasis patients in plastic wrap after applying medicine to them to promote drug absorption.

So Childs decided to try out the "plastic wrap mask" for himself. Although I felt a little shortness of breath after wrapping it up, I soon felt the skin temperature on my face rising. After the treatment, the skin immediately became soft and rosy, and the wrinkles at the corners of the mouth and forehead also became lighter.

Covering the mask with plastic wrap when making a facial mask can prevent the mask's moisture from evaporating and the loss of nutrients. Compared with facial mask paper, plastic wrap will not compete with the nutrients of the facial mask, nor will it compete with the nutrients and moisture of the facial mask. Facial mask paper is competing for the nutrition and moisture of the facial mask. Especially moisture! The moisture on the face will be absorbed by the mask paper.

A good way to promote mask absorption

Steaming face: Using a facial steamer when applying a facial mask can fully open the pores to better absorb the nutrients of the mask; it also makes the mask less likely to dry out.

Soak in warm water: Soak the mask (with packaging bag) in warm water first, and then apply it. This can speed up absorption, and it won’t be too cold to apply the mask in winter!

Thorough cleaning: Before applying the mask, you need to deep clean the skin to remove dead skin and dirt in the pores, which will also promote the absorption of the mask.

Massage your face: Before and after applying the mask, gently massage your skin to accelerate the opening of pores and the absorption of nutrients by the pores.
