What kind of mask is good after steaming?

It is better to apply a natural facial mask after steaming. The pores will open after steaming, and when you apply the mask, the skin will absorb the ingredients in the mask faster. This means that the essence in the mask will be absorbed, and some bad chemical ingredients can also be absorbed, especially some masks on the market contain too many chemical ingredients. Moreover, the skin is more fragile after steaming, so it is not advisable to choose a mask that is too irritating. Therefore, it is recommended to apply a natural hydrating and moisturizing mask after sweat steaming, or you can choose a homemade egg white mask, cucumber mask, etc.

Do I need to wash my face before and after applying a facial mask after a steam bath?

It is best to clean the dirt on your face before applying a facial mask to enhance the skin's absorption capacity. Also, after washing your face, apply the facial mask while your face is still slightly hydrated. At this time, the stratum corneum is more hydrated and the absorption effect will be better.

However, it is recommended not to wash your face immediately before or after applying the mask after sweat steaming. Because the pores are open after sweat steaming, washing your face will allow water molecules to enter the body and increase the moisture in the body. Therefore, it is best to choose a facial mask that does not need to be washed after sweating.

It is better to apply a more natural facial mask after sweat steaming. Don’t wash your face after applying a facial mask.
