How to apply a facial mask correctly? Eight facial mask misunderstandings you should pay attention to

Do you all know how to apply a facial mask correctly? There are still some people who apply facial masks incorrectly. Below I have listed eight common misunderstandings about applying facial masks. Let’s take a look.

What is the correct way to apply a facial mask?

In fact, many friends have made many mistakes when applying facial masks. Today Xixi wants to remind everyone that you must pay attention to these 8 misunderstandings when applying facial masks. If you don’t avoid such misunderstandings, it will be useless no matter how many masks you apply!

Myth 1: Applying facial mask every day

Using a cleansing mask every day can cause skin sensitivity, redness and swelling, and make immature cuticles lose their resistance; using a moisturizing mask every day can easily cause acne. If you want to achieve the best results, you must follow the instructions in the instructions. For example, if you use it for a long time, 1 to 2 times a week is enough.

PS: Only hydrating masks can be used every day in the dry season~

Misconception 2 - Applying a facial mask while taking a shower

In order to save time, many girls like to apply facial masks while taking a bath, but you must choose the right mask! For example, wet-type masks, such as peel-off and jelly masks, will not work. Because water vapor will prevent the mask from fitting closely to the skin. In addition, if it is a mask that needs to be completely dry, water vapor will also affect the effect of the mask!

Myth 3 - Not using eye mask

You should know that the thickness of the skin around the eyes is 1/4 of normal skin. Many facial masks, especially cleansing and moisturizing ones, will irritate the skin around the eyes, so you should avoid the area around the eyes when using them. However, the importance of eye masks cannot be ignored, and they need to be used consistently, at least twice a week, with eye cream to achieve the best moisturizing effect.

Myth 4: Don’t waste the essence in the mask

Some facial masks are very expensive, so many girls don’t want to waste them and would rather use them for a longer time. However, “overspending” on the mask application time will cause the mask to “absorb” and make the skin drier and less nutritious!

Myth 5: Frequent use of peel-off masks

The principle of the first peel-off mask is to allow the mask to fully contact and adhere to the skin, and while tearing it off, it will remove the blackheads, aging cuticles and oil on the skin. Although the second one has the strongest cleaning ability, it also causes the greatest damage to the skin. Improper use may cause skin sagging, enlarged pores and skin allergies. Therefore, when applying a facial mask, you should first avoid the area around the eyes and eyebrows. Secondly, the frequency of use should not be too high. Once a week is enough.

Myth 6: DIY natural facial mask

Nowadays, many beauty magazines and beauty programs will teach everyone some DIY natural facial masks, which are both interesting and environmentally friendly. However, the effect is only good when it is just done, and it returns to its original state the next day. This is because the ingredients of homemade masks are too natural and have not undergone some special scientific and technological processing. The molecules are too large to be absorbed by the skin, so they do not have much effect.

Myth 7 - Only use oil-control masks for oily skin

Oily face is caused by the imbalance of water and oil. Simply trying to control oil will not only fail to control it, but will make it worse. In winter, it may even become oily and dry. Therefore, it is recommended that girls with oily skin can use cleansing, oil-control and moisturizing masks alternately to alleviate the problem of oiliness.
