Misunderstandings about applying facial masks: The best time of day to apply different facial masks

In fact, many novices have some misunderstandings about applying facial masks. If you are unaware of these misunderstandings, the masks you apply may not be effective. Well, I have specifically analyzed several misunderstandings about applying facial masks below. Let’s take a look.

Misconceptions about applying facial masks

First of all, facial mask cannot be applied every day. Generally 1-2 times a week is enough. Especially cleansing masks, which can easily cause adverse reactions on the skin if used every day. Secondly, you must exfoliate and clean your skin before applying a facial mask. It is necessary to keep your skin clean before applying a facial mask, but exfoliation is not necessary every time. Exfoliation should be done once a month at most. Exfoliating too frequently will damage the stratum corneum. Sensitive skin does not need to exfoliate frequently.

Never waste the essence in the mask

The awareness of saving should be used in the right place! If you "overspend" the time applying a facial mask, your skin will lose water and nutrients. You can make a rough estimate of the usage time based on different masks: if the moisture content is moderate, remove it after about 15 minutes; if the moisture content is high, you can use it for a while longer, but remove it after 30 minutes at most. If you really can't bear to part with the essence in it, it's also a good idea to use it to wipe other parts of your body.

Applying a facial mask while taking a bath is the greatest enjoyment

Applying a facial mask while taking a bath is really a smart way to save time, but it depends on the mask you choose. It is recommended to use a wet mask. Peel-off and jelly masks are not recommended. Because water vapor will make it difficult for the mask to fit closely to the skin.

The best time of day to do different facial masks

8:00 AM Eye mask

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.

12:00 noon Whitening mask

This period of time is lunch time for office ladies, and just after housework for full-time housewives, which is the most suitable time to make a whitening mask. The frequency of use is about once to twice a week. If you want to achieve a quick whitening effect, you can also use it continuously for several days according to the product instructions.

22:00 Evening Nutrition Mask

When sebum secretion increases during the day, the metabolic products on the skin surface increase, causing the skin's acidity to decrease and its disease resistance to weaken. 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 sleeping mask that does not need to be washed off. Let your skin be hydrated and clear when you wake up the next day.
