How many times a week should you use a hydrating mask? I believe this is a question that everyone is very entangled about. When we see Fan Bingbing applying a mask all the time, do you think the more you apply, the better? When you search on Baidu, do you feel that it is not the case? Want to know how many times a week should you use a hydrating mask for your skin? Then take a look.

How many times a week is it better to use a hydrating mask?

How many times a week should I use a hydrating mask? Generally speaking, a hydrating mask 2-3 times a week is enough. Unless your skin is particularly dry, you can apply one mask every day for a week, and it will return to normal after a week. Because when the skin is not particularly dry, the basal layer of the skin has sufficient moisture. If you apply a hydrating mask every day, it is easy to cause the skin to have overnutrition and cannot absorb the nutrients. This will not only waste the hydrating mask, but also add burden to the skin and cause sensitive skin.

How long should you apply a hydrating mask?

It is generally recommended to leave the hydrating mask on for 10-15 minutes. Because when we apply a facial mask, in addition to our skin absorbing a large amount of essence and nutrient solution, the air will also slowly evaporate the moisture and essence in the mask. When the nutrients and moisture in the mask are lower than the surface of the skin, the mask will absorb moisture from the skin. This can easily result in the skin being drier than before after applying the mask, or the hydrating mask having no effect.

When should you apply a hydrating mask?

It is recommended to apply the hydrating mask between 10 pm and 3 am every day, which is the best time. Because this period of time is the golden period of skin respiration and metabolism. During this period, it can repair damaged cells and metabolize waste in skin cells. Therefore, applying a facial mask during this period of time can not only help the nutrients to be better absorbed into the bottom layer of the skin, but also metabolize waste out of the skin.

Remember to wash your face after applying a hydrating mask

After applying the hydrating mask, remember to wash your face. Because the essence in the hydrating mask is relatively large and viscous, if the hydrating mask is not washed off after application, the essence will form a film with the skin. When we do basic skin care, the nutrients and essence in the skin care products will be isolated by the mask essence and cannot be absorbed, thus wasting the skin care products. And as time goes by, the moisture that the mask has just replenished into the skin will slowly disappear. Because most hydrating masks do not have the function of locking in moisture, and the reason why basic care cream is placed at the last step of skin care is because it is mainly used to lock in moisture.

Massage with essence before washing your face

After applying the hydrating mask, if you feel that the essence content is particularly high and it would be a waste to wash it off, it is recommended that you use your fingertips to gently massage your face back and forth and up and down. Because this can promote the essence in the mask to be better absorbed by the skin. Allow the skin to absorb as much as possible without wasting it. Generally speaking, massaging for 2-3 minutes is enough, and the remaining essence cannot be absorbed by the skin.
