Should I apply the mask first or use lotion first? Different masks have different usage orders

Generally speaking, whether to use lotion or mask first depends on the type of mask. Different types of masks have different usage orders. So should I use lotion or mask first? Let’s take a closer look below!

Should I apply the mask first or use lotion first?

You should use toner before applying a facial mask, but you don’t need to use lotion. Toner has the effect of secondary cleansing. Using toner before applying a facial mask can open the pores on your face, but if you use lotion before applying a facial mask, the facial skin will have excessive nutrition, so lotion should be used after applying the mask.

The order of using different masks and lotions

For ordinary facial mask, first use the mask and then the lotion.

When using ordinary facial masks, you should apply the mask first and then use lotion, including conventional sheet masks, peel-off masks, smear-type masks, homemade masks, etc. The reason for using lotion later is that you need to clean your face again after applying these masks. If you apply lotion first, the nutrients in the lotion will be washed away when washing your face, and the lotion will be ineffective.

Wash-free facial mask first, then lotion and then mask

If you are using a wash-free facial mask, you should apply other skin care products such as lotion and lotion before applying the mask. You don't need to wash your face again after using a wash-free facial mask, and it has the effect of blocking nutrients and repairing the skin. Therefore, it should be used after all skin care products. It can better retain the nutrients in skin care products such as lotion and lotion in the skin.

Cleansing mask can be done with water lotion first

When using a cleansing mask, to prevent the skin from feeling dry, you can apply lotion first. Common cleansing masks include mung bean mud mask, white mud mask, pearl powder mask, etc. Because they have the function of cleaning the pores, the skin will feel a little dry during use. In order to relieve dry skin, you can apply a small amount of lotion before applying the mask. Note that only a small amount of lotion is enough, because you need to apply lotion again after applying the mask.

Mud mask can be water emulsion first

Most mud masks are also cleansing masks, and unlike sheet masks, mud masks do not contain rich nutrient solution. Mud masks are easy to dry out after being exposed to the air. However, mud masks need to be applied longer than ordinary masks because they can absorb more pore waste. To prevent the mud mask from drying out and taking away moisture from the skin, we can apply a small amount of lotion before applying the mask.
