Precautions for applying facial mask

Applying a facial mask is the most comfortable way to care for the skin, and it is also the fastest consumed skin care product among women. However, some people make mistakes when applying a facial mask. Teacher Qi Qi would like to remind everyone of the four key points to keep in mind when applying a facial mask.

Four key points of applying facial mask

1. Use different masks for different skin types

There are many types of facial masks, such as cleansing masks, peel-off masks, mud masks, powder masks, sheet masks, etc. Different skin types and different skin needs require different types and functions of masks.

Due to the characteristics of sensitive skin, it is only suitable for sheet masks or some gel masks. There are also very high requirements on the safety of mask ingredients, so you should be particularly cautious when applying masks on sensitive skin.

2. Reuse of facial mask

For example, some girls will put the used mask back into the bag when they see there is still mask liquid in the mask bag, and apply the mask next time. Or, if some homemade masks cannot be finished in one use, they will put them in the refrigerator for reuse.

These are all unhygienic signs. A used facial mask will easily oxidize and breed bacteria after coming into contact with the air. If it is reused, it may cause skin inflammation.

3. Frequent use of facial masks

It is not a good idea to apply a facial mask for several days or even a week due to lack of water. The water content of the stratum corneum of healthy skin is between 20-30%, while after applying a facial mask, the water content of keratinocytes is as high as 80%. Too little water will reduce the skin's immunity, but too much water will also reduce the skin's immunity. Therefore, excessive application of facial masks will lead to winter allergies.

4. Use facial masks on top of each other

Due to the different types and functions of facial masks, many girls make mistakes, thinking that they can apply two hydrating masks and then two whitening masks in intervals, or use a sheet mask today and a cleansing mask the day after tomorrow.

Facial mask is a kind of regular care. It is best not to use it more than 3 times a week. No matter what function and type of mask, do not use them together. They are all used on the face and are called facial masks, so they should not be used frequently.
