The role of facial masks

Sealing effect: inhibit the evaporation of moisture on the skin surface, increase the endogenous hydration of the stratum corneum, and make the skin soft and smooth. Warming effect: Both smear-type or application-type facial masks can isolate the air on the surface of the skin, increase the skin temperature and accelerate metabolism. Penetration effect: Sealing effect, increasing hydration of the stratum corneum, can promote the penetration and absorption of substances. Cleansing effect: On the basis of the above effects, the stratum corneum is softened, the pores are expanded, and the mask can absorb secretions and dirt very well.

It is best to apply a facial mask once every few days

A cleansing mask can clean the mites in your pores and make your face cleaner. It is a kind of soil-like substance that you apply on your face and then wash off after it slowly dries. However, I do not recommend that you use this kind of mask many times. Generally, once a week is enough. This way, it can clean the skin without damaging it. Moisturizing masks are something we all use frequently. I believe many boys have used them as well. They are basically used for hydrating purposes, because only when the face is sufficiently hydrated can the skin be elastic. In the summer, they are usually used once every three or four days. In the winter, if you feel your face is very dry, you can apply it once every two or three days. But I suggest that you apply a layer of moisturizing mask after washing it off to lock in moisture. Repairing and whitening masks cannot be used for a long time, because since it is said to be used in an emergency, it is based on accelerating skin metabolism, which greatly damages the skin. It is not recommended for people with thin skin. If you really like to use this kind of mask, use it once every 10 days or so.

Do I need to wash my face after applying the mask?

After using a patch mask, there is a protective layer on your face that you don’t need to wash, but for oily skin, it is recommended to wash it with clean water and then apply toner and refreshing lotion or cream. Sleeping masks do not need to be washed, but it is best to clean them within six to eight hours to avoid preventing the skin from breathing and metabolism normally. Peel-off masks are generally used to remove blackheads. Before applying the mask, you should clean your face, then apply a hot towel to the tip of your nose to open the pores. Wash your face after use and pat your face with astringent toner after washing.
