What to do before hand mask

Sensitivity test

There are more or less some chemical ingredients added to the hand mask, and we cannot confirm whether it will cause skin allergies. Therefore, before using the hand mask, it is best to do a skin allergy test first, apply a small amount of hand mask essence to the back of your hand, and if there is no abnormality after 20 minutes, you can start applying the hand mask.

handwashing

Before doing a hand mask, you must wash your hands carefully, just like we have to wash our face before applying a facial mask. Hands are exposed to more bacteria than the face. If you do a hand mask directly without washing your hands, the effectiveness of the hand mask will be greatly reduced. In addition, hand masks are permeable. If you don't wash your hands, the bacteria and dust on your hands are likely to penetrate into the skin of your hands along with the hand mask, causing skin problems.

When is the best time to use hand mask?

Hand masks are best used at night. The skin's absorption ability is better at night than during the day. When using hand masks at night, your hands can better absorb the nutrients in the mask. In addition, most hand masks have the effect of whitening your hands. The whitening effect is because they contain photosensitive molecules. When exposed to light, the photosensitive molecules will absorb ultraviolet rays in the sun, thereby darkening the skin. Therefore, hand masks are best used at night.

How often should I apply hand mask?

Hand masks generally only need to be applied 1-2 times a week. Applying them too often will add burden to the skin of the hands, causing the skin to become dependent on the hand masks, making the skin more sensitive and fragile, and destroying its original repair function. In addition, if hand masks are applied frequently, the skin will not be able to absorb nutrients well every time. Not only will the nutrients that cannot be absorbed be wasted, but it will also cause an overnutrition situation.

How to deal with hand mask after use

handwashing

After using the hand mask, you need to rinse your hands with clean water. It is best to use warm water to wash off the essence on your hands. This is to avoid residual essence clogging the pores, and to prepare for subsequent skin care work.

Apply hand cream

After washing your hands, don’t forget to apply hand cream. Hand cream has the function of moisturizing and locking in moisture. Using it after using hand mask can produce greater effects.

Okay, that’s all about the usage time of hand masks. I hope you all understand it.
