Can't leave lip mask on overnight?

Whether the lip mask can be left on overnight depends mainly on what type of lip mask it is. If it is a patch-type lip mask, it cannot be left on overnight. Leaving it on overnight will cause the skin of the lips to be fragile and aggravate the dehydration of the lips. It must be washed promptly after use. However, smearable lip masks can be applied overnight without causing any burden to the skin, and can maximize the use of the essence ingredients in the lip mask. Lip masks contain a lot of exfoliating ingredients, which are very irritating to the lips and the skin around the lips. If you leave them on overnight, the exfoliating ingredients will cause serious irritation and damage to the skin of the lips, causing sensitivity of the skin around the lips. Moreover, the essence ingredients in the lip mask are relatively limited. If used overnight, the essence will take away the moisture on the lips during the drying process, thereby aggravating the dryness of the lips. Therefore, the lip mask should only be used for fifteen to twenty minutes at a time and should not be left on overnight.

Can't I use lip mask every day?

Lip mask is a "facial mask" for the lips. It often contains exfoliating enzymes and functional ingredients that moisturize the lips. The purpose of using a lip mask is to moisturize, soften and remove aged cuticles, provide nutrition and radiance to the lips, and lighten the pigmentation of the lips. Because it has the effect of exfoliating, if used every day, the cuticle will become thinner, making the lip skin more fragile. So, although lip masks are good, don’t use them every day. Generally 1 to 2 times a week is enough, not too many times.
