How often should you use a facial mask? Here is the knowledge on how to use a facial mask

hello everyone! The topic I want to talk about today is facial masks. It is the most indispensable thing for every girl who loves skin care. There is a lot of knowledge about applying facial masks~

How often should you apply a facial mask?

Generally speaking, 3 to 4 times a week is enough. The main function of a facial mask is to moisturize the skin. Applying it too much can easily lead to overnutrition and cause acne and blackheads.

Although there are facial masks on the market that claim to be able to be applied every day, Mumu feels that it is really not necessary to apply them every day, especially for people with sensitive skin or thin stratum corneum. Applying them every day will make the stratum corneum thinner and thinner.

However, if your skin is super dry for a while, or you need emergency hydration in a short period of time, you can apply it every day, but it is best to use a gentle moisturizing mask. For most healthy skin, three times a week is enough. Applying too much is a burden to our skin.

As for how long to apply it, it is generally about 15 minutes. If you leave it on too long, your skin will dry out and the mask will have no effect, so remember to tear it off when the time is up. Don’t keep it on for too long because you think it’s a waste!

Should I wash off my facial mask?

This should be the first question. There are many types of facial masks on the market now. There are instructions for use on the back of each mask package. Please read them carefully. If the instructions say to wash it, you must wash it off. Don't sleep on it like that, as it will damage your skin.

If it says "no wash required", then it's up to you, but Mumu thinks it's best to wash it, especially for girls with oily skin. If it is not written in the instructions, it is best to clean it. Is it okay to apply a facial mask while taking a shower?

Mumu has often heard of this phenomenon, where people put on a facial mask while taking a shower. But this behavior is wrong. Many people think that there will be a lot of steam when taking a shower, and the temperature in the bathroom is relatively high, which will cause the pores on the face to open quickly. The steam will adhere to the facial mask, and applying the facial mask at this time will make the mask more fit.

But in fact, this is very bad for the skin. High temperature will cause the mask to change. Not only will it fail to absorb the nutrients of the mask, but it will make the skin worse and worse, affecting the skin's absorption of facial essence and failing to achieve the effect of moisturizing.

It's time to take a bath. Take a quiet bath. When applying a facial mask, just lie on the sofa and enjoy these 15 minutes. Listen to some songs or watch some TV series, and it will pass in a while.
