Eye masks are usually used after cleansing. If you apply eye cream first and then apply eye mask, there will already be a layer of eye cream on the skin as a barrier. Naturally, the nutrients in the eye mask cannot penetrate into the skin better, and the skin will first absorb the nutrients in the eye cream.

2. Reduce the effect of eye cream

Applying eye cream before applying an eye mask will also reduce the effect of the eye cream. This is because generally after applying the eye mask, you need to rinse your eyes with clean water. During the rinsing process, the ingredients of the eye cream can easily be washed away.

3. Loss of eye membrane nutrition

Eye masks are rich in nutrients. After applying the eye mask, the skin around the eyes will feel very moisturized and comfortable. Subsequent use of eye cream can better lock the nutrients into the skin. On the contrary, if you do not use anything after applying the eye mask, the nutrients just replenished will gradually be lost again.
