How to use a hydrating mask: This is the correct way to apply a mask

Everyone knows how to apply a hydrating mask, but there are still some tips and methods of use. Caring for your skin is always a long process. If you want your face to be beautiful and firm, you must learn the correct procedure for using a hydrating mask. Let’s take a look now.

First, clean

Before applying the moisturizing mask, we must clean our face. If you have makeup on your face, you should first take out your makeup remover milk and makeup remover oil to wipe your entire face, and then use facial cleanser to clean it thoroughly. Only after thoroughly cleansing the face can the moisturizing mask fit better with the skin and the skin can absorb the essence of the mask without any barriers.

Exfoliate according to the situation

Before applying a hydrating mask, be sure to exfoliate according to your skin condition. When there are too many dead skin cells on the skin, the skin will be separated from the outside world by a layer of barrier. No matter whether you use a moisturizing mask or the best basic skin care products, the nutrients and essences in them will be absorbed by the dead skin cells and will have difficulty reaching the basal layer of the skin, resulting in the moisturizing mask not being absorbed and having no effect. Generally speaking, it is recommended to exfoliate 1-2 times a month.

Apply toner before applying mask

If you want the hydrating mask to have a better effect, it is recommended to apply some toner on your face after cleansing your face, because toner can open the pores of the skin, thereby achieving a drainage effect, allowing the nutrients in the mask to be better injected into the skin base and quickly hydrate the skin. If you don’t apply toner before applying the mask, we can only wait for the skin pores to open naturally, and the nutritional essence will naturally be absorbed more slowly.

It is better to apply lotion when applying facial mask

If you want a hydrating mask that absorbs faster, the better. It is recommended that after applying the hydrating mask on the face, you should cover the entire mask paper with your own lotion, so that the skin can be hydrated and quickly lock in moisture without losing it. Because lotion is thicker than the essence in the mask, when we apply the mask, we apply a layer of lotion on it to pressurize the essence and moisture in the mask so that it can be quickly absorbed, and to prevent the air from taking away any moisture from the skin.

The time of applying the hydrating mask should be controlled

As long as it is not a sleeping 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 the 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 after application.
