How to use mud mask correctly

When applying a mud mask, it is best not to use your hands. Even if you have washed your hands, they will inevitably be contaminated with bacteria. At the same time, when your hands are put into the mask jar, they will also contaminate the remaining mask in the jar. It is best to use a small spoon or a small scraper. After taking the mud mask onto the small scraper, first apply it to the T zone and U zone where oil and pore debris are prone to be produced, and then apply it to other parts that have not been applied. The application direction is from bottom to top, which is not easy to produce wrinkles. After about 10-15 minutes, wash off the mask. Don't forget the post-mask maintenance work. Toner and lotion are essential. Don't think that you are done after applying the mask.

4. Moisturizing before use

Because mud masks have a good cleansing effect, your face will feel a little dry after using it. Before using a mud mask, it is best to moisturize your face first. Spray some hydrating spray on your face, or apply toner and lotion to replenish moisture for your facial skin, which can also promote the absorption of the mud mask.

The difference between mud masks and sheet masks

1. Different texture

Mud mask: Mud masks are usually packaged in bottles and jars, and come in the form of pastes, gels, and creams. Users can apply the mud mask to the entire face or use it on local areas. Mud masks are sticky and can be applied and adhere to the face by themselves.

Sheet mask: Sheet masks are independently packaged and consist of mask paper and essence. The biggest advantage of sheet masks is that they can be opened and used at any time, which is very convenient. However, the stickiness of sheet masks is not as good as that of mud masks, and users need to lie flat.

2. Different effects

Mud mask: Most mud masks are mainly for deep cleansing, and some have moisturizing effects, but its cleansing effect is the strongest.

Sheet mask: Sheet masks have many functions, the most common ones are hydrating, moisturizing, and whitening. In addition, they also have pore cleaning, anti-wrinkle, exfoliating, soothing, and acne removal functions.

3. Different times of use

Mud mask: A bottle of mud mask can be used repeatedly many times, and the amount used is determined by your own needs, which allows you to use it more freely.

Sheet mask: A single sheet mask can only be used once and cannot be reused after that.

4. Suitable for people with different skin types

Mud mask: Mud mask mainly cleans pores and also has an exfoliating effect, so it is especially suitable for oily skin. People with dry skin should use mud masks less to avoid excessive skin cleansing. Mud masks are most suitable for people who can't stay idle at home, because they can move around with a mud mask on without any impact. People with large or small faces always feel that the mask paper is not suitable for their face shape when using sheet masks, but they will not have this problem when using mud masks.

Sheet mask: Sheet masks are suitable for most skin types, but oily skin should not use them too much. After using a sheet mask, a lot of essence will be left on the face. Frequent use by oily skin will lead to excess nutrients that cannot be absorbed by the skin, resulting in the phenomenon of rubbing into mud. Sheet masks are suitable for people with dry skin. Sheet masks are easy to carry and therefore become a must-have item for people traveling on business or travelling.

This is the introduction to the usage of mud masks. Come and try it now. Mud masks and sheet masks each have their own advantages and disadvantages.
