When should you apply a facial mask? Don't waste such a good mask.

The weather is extremely dry and the skin loses moisture very quickly. It’s time to apply a facial mask to replenish moisture to the skin. Every beauty-loving woman has a bunch of facial masks on hand, but do you really know how to apply them? Today I will teach you how to apply a facial mask correctly, which will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort!

When to apply facial mask

Night is the best time to apply a facial mask

Applying a facial mask is a good opportunity to replenish nutrients to the skin, but if you do it at the wrong time, the absorption may be reduced by half. Generally speaking, between 11pm and 3am is the time when the skin repairs damaged cells on its own. Applying a facial mask at this time will result in best absorption and the best effect.

If you go to bed early, you can apply the mask a little earlier, just before going to bed. Another way is to apply a sleeping mask. Even when you are in deep sleep, your skin is constantly absorbing nutrients.

Another thing Mu Qing wants to remind you is that it’s best not to apply a facial mask before putting on makeup! It is true that applying makeup after applying a facial mask will make it adhere better, but the moisture content of the skin's stratum corneum increases, the pores are open, and the skin is more fragile. At this time, applying makeup will cause greater damage and burden to the skin.

The effect of applying facial mask is better in the first week after menstruation

If you are lazy and don't want to apply a facial mask every week, then don't miss the first week after your period, which is a great time. At this time, the skin's absorption capacity is very good, so you can use facial masks and essences without worry, which will definitely make your skin twice as good.

Different masks have different application times

Generally speaking, do not leave sheet masks on for more than 15 minutes. Homemade hydrating facial masks (such as those made with facial mask powder in a beauty salon) can be applied for 20-25 minutes. Apply the cleansing mask for 8-10 minutes. The sleeping mask can be applied for a whole night~

Steps to apply facial mask

clean

Only when the pores are unobstructed can the skin care products be absorbed smoothly, so the first step is to do a good job of cleaning. You can also exfoliate appropriately according to your skin condition, 1 to 2 times a month for dry and sensitive skin, and once every one or two weeks for oily skin.
