Can I apply a facial mask if I have a wound on my face?

You can apply a facial mask if you have wounds on your face.

If you have wounds on your face and your skin is dry and you must apply a moisturizing mask, it is recommended that you apply aloe vera gel on the wound 3-5 minutes before applying the mask, and you can apply it directly without washing it off. Because aloe vera gel contains a large amount of vitamin E, it can quickly repair damaged cells and also has the function of reducing skin sensitivity.

What should I do if there is a stinging sensation when applying a facial mask on my face?

When there is a wound on the face, when we apply a hydrating mask, it is easy to feel a stinging sensation around the wound. Because all wounds are open, and when we apply a facial mask, the nutrients, essence and moisture in the mask are directly transferred to the basal layer of the skin. During this process, the wound area is more sensitive, and because the hydrating mask acts more strongly, some ingredients contained in the mask stimulate the wound, resulting in an obvious stinging sensation.

Note: When there are wounds on our face, or when we have just squeezed a pimple, it is not recommended to apply a moisturizing mask. It is best to wait until the wound has scabped before applying it.

If you have wounds on your face, you must pay attention to the method when applying a facial mask, and also pay attention to dealing with the stinging sensation on your face.
