How long should you apply the compressed mask? The application time varies depending on your needs.

There has never been an accurate indication of the time for applying a compressed facial mask on the face. Some say it is 5 minutes, some say it is 20 minutes. It's really like everyone has their own opinions. Today, I will tell you in detail how long it is best to apply a compressed mask.

How long should you apply the compressed mask?

It is best to apply a compressed mask for 5-10 minutes. This is the best time to apply a compressed mask on your face. If the time is too short, the purpose of moisturizing cannot be achieved. If the time is too long, the compressed mask and the face will dry out together, which will make the meaning of applying the compressed mask even more lost. However, if the compressed mask contains irritating ingredients, the application time should be reduced.

It is best to apply the compressed mask for 5-10 minutes

When we buy compressed facial masks, most of them will have "apply to face for 5-10 minutes before peeling off" written on the back. This is the best time to apply compressed facial masks on your face. If the time is too short, it will not achieve the purpose of moisturizing. If the time is too long, the compressed mask and the face will dry out together, which will make the meaning of applying the compressed mask even more meaningless.

If there are irritating ingredients, the application time should be reduced.

We should adjust the facial application time appropriately according to the different nutrient solutions used to soak the compressed mask. Otherwise, why is the product marked with a range of 5-10 minutes instead of directly saying 10 minutes? Because different nutrient solutions contain different ingredients, some contain alcohol, some contain salicylic acid, which are certain irritating ingredients. If applied to the face for a long time, they will definitely irritate and damage the skin. Therefore, if the nutrient solution contains high concentrations of alcohol or irritating ingredients such as salicylic acid, you must appropriately reduce the time of facial application.

Whitening can appropriately increase the facial application time

For the compressed facial mask made with nutrient solution containing whitening ingredients, we can appropriately extend the application time of it. Moisturizing is the basic function of a compressed mask, and if it has an additional whitening effect, it needs more time to penetrate deep into the skin to achieve the whitening purpose. Of course, there is a premise here that it is not an exfoliating whitening ingredient, such as fruit acid, salicylic acid, etc.
