Lotion is a skin care product that many people like to use. It is so likable. What is the correct way to use this lotion? What is the order of using lotion and mask?

The correct way to use lotion

1. Toner/Lotion/Softener

Wiping method: 1. Pour the lotion onto the cotton pad and allow it to be fully absorbed. 2. Wipe along the skin texture from inside to outside to avoid excessive pulling on the skin and causing fine lines. 3. The forehead and nose secrete more oil, so the wiping time can be extended appropriately.

Patting method: 1. Pour the lotion onto the cotton pad first. 2. Apply the toner on your face by patting. 3. Pat all parts of the face thoroughly to help the absorption of lotion.

Wet compress method: find a clean small dish, put a paper mask in it, slowly pour in toner (the paper mask will slowly expand as it absorbs water), and after the paper mask absorbs enough water, put the dish in the refrigerator (3 minutes in the freezer/8 minutes in the refrigerator). When the time is up, take out the plate, unfold the frozen paper mask, put it on your face, note the time, lie down quietly, after 10 minutes, remove the paper mask, and pat the toner that has not been absorbed on your face until it is completely absorbed. If you don’t have a paper mask, you can also use a wet compress with a cotton pad.

2. Lotion

Application order: The lotion does not need to be applied to the entire face at once, but it should be applied to the driest areas first. If you have not used eye cream yet, apply it around the eyes first, then to the cheeks, both sides of the mouth, upper and lower jaws, etc. After applying these areas, apply to the entire face. This way, these dry areas will get doubly moisturized.

Application technique: When applying lotion, do not use your palms or fingertips. Instead, use the strength of your fingertips. The strength of your fingertips should be moderate and elastic, which makes the skin feel most comfortable. Applying lotion should be combined with massaging movements to facilitate skin absorption. Massage from the center of the face outwards with gentle movements until it is fully absorbed by the skin.

Recommended dosage: Generally speaking, the amount of lotion used will not exceed the amount of toner, and is about the size of a dime. But if sometimes you feel your skin is very tired or your complexion is dull, it means your skin needs more moisture and nutrition. At this time, you should increase the amount used, using two to three coins-sized amounts, so that your skin can get more moisture and nutrition.

The order of using lotion and mask

1. For ordinary facial masks, apply the mask first and then the lotion.

When using ordinary facial masks, you should apply the mask first and then use lotion, including conventional sheet masks, peel-off masks, smear-type masks, homemade masks, etc. The reason for using lotion later is that you need to clean your face again after applying these masks. If you apply lotion first, the nutrients in the lotion will be washed away when washing your face, and the lotion will be ineffective.

2. Wash-free facial mask: first apply lotion and then mask

If you are using a wash-free facial mask, you should apply other skin care products such as lotion and lotion before applying the mask. You don't need to wash your face again after using a wash-free facial mask, and it has the effect of blocking nutrients and repairing the skin. Therefore, it should be used after all skin care products. It can better retain the nutrients in skin care products such as lotion and lotion in the skin.

3. Cleansing mask can be done with water and lotion first

When using a cleansing mask, to prevent the skin from feeling dry, you can apply lotion first. Common cleansing masks include mung bean mud mask, white mud mask, pearl powder mask, etc. Because they have the function of cleaning the pores, the skin will feel a little dry during use. In order to relieve dry skin, you can apply a small amount of lotion before applying the mask. Note that only a small amount of lotion is enough, because you need to apply lotion again after applying the mask.

4. Mud mask can be washed with water and milk first.

Most mud masks are also cleansing masks, and unlike sheet masks, mud masks do not contain rich nutrient solution. Mud masks are easy to dry out after being exposed to the air. However, mud masks need to be applied longer than ordinary masks because they can absorb more pore waste. To prevent the mud mask from drying out and taking away moisture from the skin, we can apply a small amount of lotion before applying the mask.

Tips:

No matter you are applying lotion or mask, you must cleanse your face first. Use facial cleanser to cleanse your skin thoroughly. Only when the skin is clean and the pores are unblocked can the nutrients of skin care products penetrate deeper into the skin. Otherwise, without cleaning as a prerequisite, no matter how good the skin care products are, they will be ineffective.

This is the introduction to the usage of lotion and emulsion. Pay attention to the order of use with facial mask.
