What are the misunderstandings of applying facial masks? Be careful that your wrong method will make your skin look older

As a loyal supporter of facial masks, do you have this question: I apply facial masks very diligently, but why don’t my skin become whiter and tenderer, but instead I have a lot of skin problems? How to apply facial mask? Be careful that you may make your face look older if you use the mask the wrong way!

1. Apply facial mask every day

Celebrities always say that they have great skin by applying facial masks every day, but they don’t know that such intensity will reduce the skin’s self-regulating ability and easily become fragile and sensitive. Just like delicious food, if you eat too much, you will always feel full and may even develop a sense of rejection.

This is the right way to do it:

Generally, cleansing masks can be used once every two weeks for girls who don't wear makeup, and once a week for girls who often wear makeup. Functional masks can be used 2-3 times a week, with moisturizing and hydrating as the main focus, 3-4 times a week, each time for about 10-15 minutes.

2. Skip the early skin care steps and apply the mask directly

The moisture in the skin that has just finished taking a shower is easily evaporated by the air and becomes tight when it comes into contact with the outside world. If you apply a facial mask directly, the moisture and essence will be introduced much more slowly. Therefore, you should use toner and essence to fully prime the skin before applying the facial mask, which will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Special mention should be made of the sleeping mask that is loved by lazy people. But don't think that everything will be fine after using a sleeping mask. Since sleeping masks usually stay on the face for a long time, if you don't do a good job of cleaning and skin care, the dust and makeup left over during the day will clog your pores, having the opposite effect. Sleeping mask must be applied on the face after cleansing and skin care.

This is the right way to do it:

Therefore, be sure to apply it on your face after cleansing and skin care, and then gently circle your face to promote further absorption of the mask and night cream. Wait for the sleeping mask to dry and form a layer of film before going to bed. Remember to clean it when you get up the next day.

3. Use facial mask as eye mask

The skin around the eyes is only 1/4 the thickness of normal skin, so it needs special care. Many facial masks, especially cleansing ones, contain ingredients that can irritate the delicate skin around the eyes and should be avoided.

This is the right way to do it:

Therefore, if you want to strengthen the care of the skin around your eyes, it is still necessary to use eye masks. Especially when the skin around the eyes is dehydrated and lacks nutrition, intensive care is the most effective.

4. The joy of DIY facial mask

There are DIY facial mask tips everywhere on the Internet, and heroines wearing cucumber masks can often be seen on TV. However, although these foods have good therapeutic effects, they may not have the same effects on the face. The molecules of DIY fruit and vegetable masks are too large to be absorbed by the skin and are easily oxidized. Although it is fun and saves money, the results are often unsatisfactory, and the rich vitamin C can easily irritate the skin.

This is the right way to do it:

In fact, homemade facial masks are not necessarily safer the more natural they are. It is safer to choose professional facial masks.

5. Take a bath and apply a facial mask

Applying a facial mask while taking a bath does save time and is convenient, and it is indeed a good opportunity to take care of your skin. Under the action of steam, blood flow in the face is promoted more smoothly, and the ingredients in the mask are more easily absorbed.

This is the right way to do it:

In this situation, it is important to choose the type of mask. Washable and water-paper mask types are OK; but peel-off masks and jelly masks are best not used at this time, because water vapor will make it difficult for the mask to fit closely to the skin, and water vapor will affect the effect of solidifying masks.
