How to apply a facial mask: one application is equivalent to two masks

A clever way to apply a facial mask is to apply it once and have the effect of two masks. So, are you applying the mask correctly? You will know after reading this article.

How to apply facial mask

The best time to apply a facial mask is before going to bed at night. At this time, the skin is relaxed and the pores are open, so the nutrients of the mask can be more fully absorbed. Of course, the effect will be the same if you steam your face after washing it and then apply the mask. The effect of using a facial mask in the first week after menstruation is doubly good.

The best time of day to do different facial masks

Time: 6:30-7:00 a.m.

"Membrane" recipe: Eye mask

Time to spare: During breakfast

At this time, it is recommended to choose an eye mask that can enhance skin's tolerance and is refreshing and anti-allergic to help the skin resist dust and sun exposure. If your eyes are puffy, you can also use some eye masks that can enhance eye circulation, decompose eye toxins and tighten eye bags.

After cleansing your face, apply the eye mask, pat your skin with your fingers and lightly press the acupuncture points around the eyes to speed up blood circulation and improve the skin's absorption capacity. This is also one of the eye care methods, but be careful! Applying eye mask in the morning is not necessarily the longer the better. The skin will only absorb the nutrients it needs. If you apply the eye mask for too long, the eye mask will become dry and will instead absorb moisture from the face, causing discomfort to the delicate skin around the eyes.

Take time: After doing housework or after a meal

"Mask" recipe: Moisturizing mask

Time to spare: Bath time

At this time, the human body's hormone secretion and blood pressure are reduced, along with the body's fatigue, the skin is also prone to fine dry lines. At this time, you can use some moisturizing essence or moisturizing mask to add some "nutritional meal" to your skin.

When applying a moisturizing and nourishing mask, remember the most important thing - the mask should be thick enough to keep the skin in an "airtight" state for 20 minutes, so as to increase the skin surface temperature, expand the pores, and soften and loosen dead skin cells.

So even if you're busy, you can still apply a moisturizing mask while taking a bath. The biggest benefit of this facial mask is that it can provide rich moisture to the skin, maintain the skin's moisture balance, and eliminate wrinkles caused by dehydration. After using it, the foundation will be moisturized, comfortable, and smooth.

In addition, moisturizing masks can be used at any time, such as 20 minutes after lunch, or you can take a few pieces with you when you are on a business trip. In 15 minutes, you can replenish all the moisture lost throughout the day.

"Mask" recipe: Nutritional mask

Time to take a break: At bedtime

When sebum secretion increases during the day, the metabolic products on the skin surface increase, and excessive sweat causes the skin's acidity to decrease, weakening its disease resistance. Therefore, it is recommended to thoroughly cleanse the skin before going to bed. It is best to steam your face for 3 minutes to allow the pores to fully open before using a nourishing mask that does not need to be washed off. If you don’t have time to steam your face, a skin care method is recommended, which is to apply toner before using a wash-free mask. Toner can promote the absorption of nutrients into the skin, allowing you to adequately replenish moisture and oil at night. And on the morning of the next day after using a facial mask, it is best not to use toner to avoid the phenomenon of "overnutrition" on the skin.
