Do sleeping masks need to be applied very thickly? How long should I apply a sleeping mask before washing it off?

Sleeping mask is a kind of smearable mask. When applying the sleeping mask, is it better the thicker you apply it, the better? How long does it take to wash off the sleeping mask?

Does the sleeping mask need to be applied very thickly?

The sleeping mask should not be too thick or too thin, just normal is fine.

The correct way to use the sleeping mask is: after applying a series of common skin care products, apply the sleeping mask on the face with the five-point method, and then gently circle the face to promote further absorption of the mask and night cream. Don't rush to go to bed at this time. You can do other things first. Wait for half an hour for the sleeping mask to dry by itself and form a layer of film to lock all the applied skin care products, and then you can go to bed. When you sleep at this time, the mask will not rub against your pillow, and it will also have a strong function of locking in nutrients.

How long should I wait before washing off the sleeping mask?

Generally, after using the mask, wash it off after 20-30 minutes. If it is a sleeping mask, wash it off when you wake up the next morning. Generally speaking, facial masks are divided into two types: wash-free and non-wash-free:

1. After applying the wash-free mask, pat it gently on your face until it is absorbed. If it is still very sticky, you can wipe off the excess with a tissue. After applying the mask for 10-15 minutes, your face has completely absorbed the essence of the mask, and it will not absorb any excess. So it won’t be wasted if you wipe it off, but don’t wash it off. The difference between wiping and washing is: wiping off the excess can not only lock the moisture on the face, but also make the residual essence thinner and will not clog the pores!

2. For non-wash-free masks, please be sure to wash them thoroughly after use, because the residual substances in the mask will clog the pores, especially some sleeping masks, which are said to be wash-free, but please remember not to apply the mask overnight. Applying the mask overnight will prevent the face from breathing during the most relaxing and detoxifying time at night.

Do I need to massage the sleeping mask to absorb it?

A sleeping mask needs to be massaged until it is completely absorbed before going to bed, because the mask contains a lot of water and is very nutritious, but it cannot be absorbed by the skin immediately. It takes a while to completely penetrate into the bottom layer of the skin. If you go to bed immediately after applying the sleeping mask, it will affect the effect of the mask. The correct way is to apply the sleeping mask and then massage to promote the absorption of the mask's nutrients before going to bed.
