The correct way to apply a facial mask: Although facial masks are good, don’t use them too much

Facial masks are easy to use and have obvious moisturizing effects. They are an indispensable skin care product for daily skin care. Sensitive skin is prone to dehydration and dryness, so using a mask with repairing effects can achieve the dual effects of hydrating and repairing. But if used incorrectly, the repair and hydrating effects will be reduced! People with sensitive skin should know these wrong and right ways to apply facial masks.

These wrong mask application methods will affect the repair effect

Apply a facial mask directly after bathing

Although the pores are open after taking a shower, the skin is relatively dehydrated at this time. If you apply a facial mask immediately, it will easily cause problems such as sensitivity and stinging, especially for sensitive skin. In order to reduce irritation and allow the mask to be better absorbed by the skin, you can apply a layer of toner before the mask step.

Applying the mask for too long

Some people like to do other things while applying a facial mask, and often inadvertently exceed the usage time specified in the instructions. Some people are worried that the effect will not be good if the time is too short, so they continue to apply it. This is actually wrong. When the moisture and essence on the mask are about to dry, or when the moisture content of the skin is much higher than that of the mask paper, the mask paper will absorb the moisture from the skin. Wouldn't all the previous hydrating work be in vain?

The correct way to apply a facial mask on sensitive skin

The best time to apply the mask is 10-15 minutes

Sensitive skin has limited absorption capacity, and because the stratum corneum has weak water retention capacity, moisture is easily absorbed back. 10-15 minutes of mask application time is enough, followed by a little cleansing to achieve the best sensitive skin repair effect. If you don’t want to waste the remaining essence, you can use it on your neck, hands, knees, etc.

Don’t use facial masks too frequently

Do not apply facial masks too frequently. First of all, excessive use of facial masks will dissolve the normal cortical layer on the skin surface, reducing the skin's own moisturizing ability. At the same time, the absorption capacity of sensitive skin is limited. Once the skin cannot absorb excess nutrients, it can easily lead to various skin inflammation problems such as acne and blackheads.

Use a restorative mask designed for sensitive skin

There are many kinds of facial masks on the market. Many people think that the main function of facial masks is to moisturize the skin, so they can just choose any one. In fact, for sensitive skin, products such as facial masks that are used frequently should be used with more caution. Choosing products for sensitive skin not only ensures safety and reliability in terms of formula, but also can play a good repair and improvement effect during use. The additive-free formula used is very safe, and the streamlined and safe small molecule ingredients for sensitive skin can help the skin absorb better.
