How often should you apply a facial mask? Different types of masks require different application intervals. You will know the answer by looking at this schedule.

How often should you apply a facial mask?

Use a moisturizing mask three times a week. If it is an alcohol-free moisturizing mask, in principle, it is not impossible to apply it once a day. If you apply moisturizing masks too frequently, your skin will become overnourished, making it difficult to absorb effective ingredients. The stratum corneum will also be in an infiltrated state for a long time, which will reduce the skin's barrier function. Use whitening mask twice a week, nourishing mask once a week, and cleansing mask depending on skin condition.

How to apply a patch mask for better results

★First, you need to create a skin foundation that is conducive to the absorption of nutrients in the mask, that is, cleansing and exfoliating (once a month). After removing facial makeup, dirt, oil and dead skin cells, the skin can better absorb the nutrients in the mask.

★If you want the essence in the mask to be absorbed to the maximum extent, it is best to do a simple skin-awakening step after cleansing (such as using toner and essence to open the skin's water absorption channels) and then use the mask.

★If your face is really dry, tight, and peeling, you can use lotion to moisturize your skin first, and then use a facial mask.

★No matter which step you use the mask in, you must "cover" your skin with a moisturizing product after using the mask. This will prevent the skin's moisture and mask essence from being lost, and all previous care will become useless.

How to use the washable mask

★It is best to use water at about 40℃ to cleanse your face, or use a facial steamer to steam your face. This will help open the pores and help the mask absorb.

★Apply from the low-temperature area to the high-temperature area of ​​the face, in the order of cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin.

★Don’t just apply a thin layer of facial mask, as this will not be of much use. Apply it a little thicker, which is beneficial to increase the skin temperature and promote the absorption of effective ingredients, and also provide sufficient nutrition to the skin.
