Is the mud film applied thickly or thinly? Why is the mud film applied thickly?

Mud mask is a skin care product that we are all familiar with. Many people have used mud masks, and there are many brands and types of mud masks. Therefore, we need to understand whether mud masks should be applied thickly or thinly? Why should mud mask be applied thickly?

Is the mud film thick or thin?

When applying a mud mask, it is best to apply it in a medium thickness. Mud mask is a type of facial mask, most of which have cleansing effects. If the mud mask is applied too thickly, a lot of nutrients will be lost, and if it is applied too thinly, it will not play the role it should play. Only a mask that is neither too thick nor too thin is the most appropriate. After use, it can clean the deep dirt and excess oil of the skin, and at the same time it can tighten the overly large pores of the skin, making the skin smoother and whiter. When the skin's absorption capacity reaches its limit, it will no longer absorb nutrients. The excess is a waste, so a thick mask is not necessarily the best. In addition to mud masks, masks come in many forms, such as patches, smears, washable, bubble masks, etc. Different masks also have different experience effects, and you can choose according to your skin care habits.

Why should mud film be applied thickly?

Thick application of mud mask is a product requirement, because the mud mask needs to form an airtight film on the skin surface through the mask mud to achieve the effect of cleansing the skin. Applying one layer of mask mud cannot achieve the effect of isolating the air, and the thinner the application, the faster it dries, so you need to apply several layers. The main function of mud mask is to cleanse the skin and beautify. Apply the mask mud to the face to form a thin film, which isolates the skin from the air, inhibits moisture evaporation, softens the stratum corneum, expands the pores, promotes blood circulation and nutrient absorption. When removing the mask, the dirt in the skin and pores will also be eliminated. However, mask mud is relatively rough, and a thin layer applied cannot isolate the air. It requires several layers to truly isolate the air and achieve the effect of inhibiting water evaporation and promoting blood circulation. More importantly, the mud mask has a low water content. A thin layer will easily dry up. After drying, the mud mask will absorb nutrients from the skin. Applying several thick layers of the mud mask can slow down the drying time of the mud mask and prevent the mud mask from absorbing moisture from the skin.

Should I use the mud mask in the morning or at night?

The golden period is at night, usually from 10 pm to 2 am, which is the best time to use a mud mask. This period of time is when the skin's absorption and repair capabilities are the strongest, and this period of time in the day is the best time to use a mask. Before using a mud mask, be sure to do an allergy test to see if your skin is suitable for a mud mask. This is a step that many people overlook. Test method: Apply a small amount of mud mask on the back of your hand or earlobe, wash it off after half an hour. If there is no redness or itching reaction at the applied area, you can apply it on your face. Before using the mask mud, you should clean your face first. Thoroughly cleaning the excess oil and dirt on your face will help the skin absorb the mask mud. If you don't clean your face thoroughly, the dirt on your face will enter your skin along with the nutrients in the mask mud, causing enlarged pores, clogged pores, acne, and spots on your face. After washing your face, applying hot compress to your face before applying the mud will help the mud mask absorb better. You can first apply a hot towel to your face for three minutes, and then massage all over your face for three to five minutes to open the pores and facilitate absorption.

How long should the mud mask be applied?

The mud mask can be used for 15-20 minutes. Generally, there are more mud and clay-like cleansing masks, which are often applied to the entire face with a brush or hands. They are simple and easy to use, and help quickly expel waste cuticles, oils, blackheads and other dirt. Facial masks are the staple of skin care products. Although they are very effective, they should not be used every day unless there are special requirements. Some facial masks have clearly marked cycles, such as a 5-day treatment course, or 3 masks in 10 days. If you want to achieve the best results, you should strictly follow it. Using a cleansing mask every day can cause skin sensitivity and even redness and swelling, and make the immature keratin lose its ability to resist external damage; using a moisturizing mask every day can easily cause acne; while a hydrating mask can be used every day in the dry season.
