The harm of compressed mask to the skin. You must pay attention to these points when applying compressed mask

The compressed mask itself actually has no effect on the skin, because it is a simple external skin care tool. It is mainly an auxiliary tool for hydrating the skin. It is a tool used to make a spa mask for the skin. It is a convenient and trouble-free skin care product. Today, I will explain to you whether compressed facial masks are harmful to the skin.

Avoid using compressed masks for too long

Since the compressed mask is an auxiliary tool for temporarily hydrating the skin, as long as our purpose is achieved, we can peel off the compressed mask on the face, and there is no need to apply it on the face for a long time. Not only will it fail to continue to hydrate the skin, but it will dissolve the sebum on the surface of the skin, and then take away our skin's natural moisturizing factors when the mask is removed. Therefore, applying a compressed mask for a long time will do more harm than good.

Avoid using lotions with high alcohol content

Alcohol is a good solvent that not only promotes the penetration of ingredients, but also rearranges the outer layer of keratin to make the skin more translucent. But we have to say that if something has good aspects, it must have bad effects. Alcohol can dissolve sebum very well, which means it is somewhat invasive to the skin barrier. Therefore, avoid frequent and prolonged use of lotions with high alcohol content to make compressed facial masks. For sensitive skin, this is even more of a minefield.

About moisture backflow

Many people say that compressed facial masks should not be applied for too long, because as time goes by, the lotion on the mask paper will also evaporate. When the mask paper is relatively dry, it will begin to absorb moisture from the skin. I just want to roll my eyes at the above words. If this can absorb moisture from the skin, then wouldn't we humans instantly become dried up in the desert? ! Many people feel that after the mask paper dries, the skin will also become dry. This is because our skin has a fixed moisture content, which is about 20%. We use compressed paper masks to force hydration of our stratum corneum only temporarily. At that time, the moisture content of the skin may be as high as 60% or even higher, but as time goes by, the excess moisture in the skin will slowly evaporate and dissipate. This is why when the compressed mask dries up, your skin will also dry out. It’s not that the paper mask is absorbing water, but that your skin is physiologically regulating its moisture content.
