Is it effective to wash off the sleeping mask?

Sleeping masks contain some concentrated gelatin ingredients to lock in moisture in the skin, allowing the skin to absorb nutrients more quickly. Because these gelatin ingredients will cover the surface of the skin, if left on for a long time, they will affect the skin's metabolism, which may cause the skin to produce more oil, and will also affect subsequent skin care steps.

Can a sleeping mask be used as a hydrating mask?

A sleeping mask cannot replace a patch mask, and a patch mask cannot be used as a sleeping mask. In order to save trouble, many people simply put the facial mask on their face and go to sleep. This is absolutely not allowed. Traditional facial masks cannot replace sleeping masks. Sleeping with a facial mask on not only has no skin care effect, but the mask will absorb moisture from the skin after it dries up, making the skin drier. Doing this is not skin care, but will harm the skin! In addition, after using the mask to moisturize, you must remember to lock in moisture (lotion and cream)!

Should I wash my sleeping mask or not?

Yes, it needs to be washed, but the sleeping mask can stay on the face for 6 to 8 hours, so you can apply it at night and wash it off with water in the morning. Of course, some people have oily skin, and if they apply a sleeping mask overnight, they are prone to acne. In this case, it is best to wash it off after half an hour.

Do I need to apply anything else after washing off the sleeping mask?

Applying a facial mask after applying skin care products is like covering it with a layer of plastic wrap. This can ensure that the skin care products can provide nutrients to the skin for a long time and enable the skin care products to be better absorbed. But please note that if it is a wash-free facial mask (applied overnight), you must not apply a thick layer. If the mask dries, it will not only fail to play a maintenance role, but on the contrary will absorb nutrients and moisture from your skin.
