What should I pay attention to when applying a mask for red blood streaks?

In autumn and winter, the moisture in the skin evaporates quickly, which can easily lead to skin dehydration. For people with red blood streaks on their faces, they must be very cautious when using various skin care products and cosmetics. Here is a solution for you.

Precautions for applying red blood mask

Red blood streaks are mainly caused by the weakness of the facial stratum corneum, which makes the position of the capillaries more easily exposed to and sensitive to changes in the external environment, thus causing the capillaries to expand and cause a facial phenomenon.

The face of patients with facial redness looks redder than the normal skin color, often called plateau face or red face. Some only have redness on the cheekbones on both sides, with circular borders, generally arranged in silk-like shapes.

For example, if we use the facial mask frequently on skin with red blood streaks, we should pay attention to the following points:
1. Do not choose facial masks with a lot of residual moisture

Many friends have a misunderstanding when using facial masks, thinking that the more water remaining in the facial mask packaging bag, the more essence the product contains and the better the effect.

In fact, this is not the case. The facial tissue paper used has very poor water absorption, which is why there is a lot of essence remaining in the bag. For sensitive skin with red blood streaks, it is recommended to choose a mask with a small molecule structure. The facial stickers can easily absorb the mask liquid and have good absorbency and permeability for our skin.

2. Try not to choose masks with added fragrances

Since skin with red blood streaks is also sensitive and relatively dry, people generally choose hydrating masks. However, if the skin is extremely dry, a hydrating mask can be applied for several days in a row (the type without any added ingredients). Once the water is replenished, you can apply it twice a week to increase the moisture of the skin, but it should not be applied frequently. Applying it continuously will increase the burden on the skin, as the skin's absorption capacity is limited.

The reason why some facial masks have fragrance is because they have added fragrance. For sensitive skin with red blood streaks, using products containing fragrances can easily cause skin allergies.

If you have sensitive skin, you should pay special attention to the ingredient labels on the product packaging when purchasing. Products containing fragrances can be seen on the ingredient labels.

3. Do not use facial masks containing salicylic acid or fruit acid

Some friends like to use facial mask products containing salicylic acid and fruit acid, because salicylic acid and fruit acid are strong acidic substances, which can assist the rapid exfoliation of the stratum corneum and have a certain effect on improving rough skin and brightening the skin tone.

Products like this are not recommended for people with sensitive red blood streaks on their skin, as their strong acidity can easily cause skin allergies, thinning of the stratum corneum, and even contact dermatitis.

4. Don’t use peel-off masks

The stratum corneum of skin with red blood streaks is very thin, so the skin is more sensitive and fragile than normal skin. Peel-off masks adhere very closely to facial skin. When you remove the mask, some facial oil, blackheads and old cuticles will be peeled off. This is very harmful to skin with red blood streaks and will make the redness worse. Therefore, even hydrating peel-off masks cannot be used.

5. Some sleeping masks are not suitable for use

Since the skin with red blood vessels is relatively thin and sensitive, the time for applying the mask should be as short as possible. Some sleeping masks, if applied for too long, will increase the burden on the skin and make it difficult to apply.
