The correct order of using wet compresses and facial masks

1. Apply wet compress first and then apply mask

If you are applying a wet compress before using a facial mask, you need to cleanse your face first, and then you can apply a wet compress directly. Pour an appropriate amount of lotion on a cotton pad, and then apply it on your face for about 5-10 minutes. Remove the cotton pad, gently massage the mask to promote the absorption of the lotion, then take a sheet mask and apply it lightly on your face. After 10-15 minutes, remove the mask and gently massage the face to promote the absorption of the essence. Afterwards, rinse your face with clean water, and then proceed with the subsequent steps of applying toner - eye cream - essence - lotion/face cream.

2. Apply the mask first and then apply wet compress

If you apply the mask first and then the wet compress, you also need to cleanse your face first, and then apply the cleansing mask evenly on the face, wait for about 15-20 minutes, clean the cleansing mask on the face, then pour enough astringent water on the cotton pad, apply the cotton pad lightly on the face for 5-10 minutes, then remove the cotton pad, gently massage the face, and then proceed with subsequent skin care steps such as eye cream-essence-lotion/cream.
