The correct steps for applying a facial mask. Will applying the wrong mask make you look ten years older? If you continue to apply facial mask like this, you will no longer have a face!

But...why does my skin get worse after using so many facial masks? It’s because you are applying facial masks in the wrong way! (I feel bad for the expensive mask, and I also feel bad for my wallet!)

Apply facial mask every day

It is said that Fan Bingbing and Yang Mi both have snow-white skin by applying facial masks every day. Especially Bingbing, she applies facial masks anytime and anywhere, and more than 700 masks a year are not enough. Although facial masks are good, using them every day will not achieve more significant results!

For female stars, they live a life with busy schedules and reversed day and night, and often need to appear in public with heavy makeup, so they can only find time to do skin care. For ordinary people, don’t apply facial mask every day! If you over-clean your face, the newly grown cuticle will lead to a decrease in the skin's protective function, which will make you look ten years older! In addition, some functional facial masks contain a lot of alcohol and other chemical ingredients. Frequent use will burden the skin and may also cause fat particles to grow. Generally speaking, whitening, calming, anti-acne and cleansing masks can be used once or twice a week, and moisturizing masks can be used continuously in dry seasons.

The longer the better

I always feel that the recommended time for applying facial masks is too short and the skin cannot fully absorb it? In fact, each facial mask product has a specific usage time stated in its instructions. Don’t take it for granted that the longer you apply the mask, the better the effect. With some facial masks, after half an hour of application, all the moisture on your face is absorbed by the mask paper. It’s better not to apply the mask at all! !

Therefore, when using facial masks, be sure to follow the instructions. Usually, sheet masks do not last more than 20 minutes, and cream masks only need about 15 minutes. Don't be greedy for the feeling of the mask staying on your face. Even the most moisturizing essence has a shelf life, so just stop when you are done.

Apply a facial mask while bathing

In order to save time, many people often apply facial masks while taking a bath. In fact, applying a facial mask while bathing will affect the effect of the mask and easily cause acne problems on the skin. If it is a tear-off mask or a jelly mask, water vapor will prevent the mask from fitting closely to the skin, eventually making your mask ineffective. What’s even more terrible is that it will make your pores larger!

In addition, it is easy to lose track of time while applying a facial mask in the shower. The best time to apply a facial mask is right after taking a shower at night. Nighttime is the best time for the skin to absorb nutrients and repair itself. Also, after taking a shower, the blood circulation in the whole body is accelerated, the skin pores are expanded, and the nutrients in the mask are easier to absorb!
