When there is sunshine, it is easy to get overexposed to the sun. Can I apply a facial mask after my skin has been exposed to the sun? What precautions should be taken after sun exposure?

When the sun is strong, we sometimes run outside, so our skin is easily exposed to the sun. Let’s see if we can apply a facial mask after sun exposure? What are the precautions after sun exposure:

Can I apply a facial mask after sun exposure?

You can apply a hydrating and calming mask.

After being exposed to the sun, the skin on your face will become extremely dehydrated and accompanied by inflammatory reactions, such as redness, swelling and burning pain. At this time, applying a hydrating and soothing mask can quickly replenish water and help repair the damaged stratum corneum.

However, facial masks for whitening and removing spots are generally acidic, which will increase allergy factors and cause skin rashes after application. Deep cleansing mud masks often soften cuticles and can aggravate skin damage. Therefore, it is best not to apply other types of masks except hydrating and calming masks.

What should you pay attention to after sun exposure?

1. Don’t use a whitening mask immediately

Sunburned skin is fragile, dehydrated, and has an inflammatory response. Whitening masks are often acidic. Applying the mask on your face at this time will aggravate the allergy factor and cause rashes on the skin.

2. Prevent secondary sunburn

After being exposed to the sun, the skin becomes very sensitive and fragile, and its ability to resist ultraviolet rays is greatly reduced. If exposed to the sun again, the degree of sunburn and darkening of the skin will be more serious. If you don't want to be dark-skinned all summer, you must avoid secondary sunburn.

You can apply a facial mask after exposure to the sun, but you must pay attention to protecting your skin after exposure to the sun.

How long should the quilt be dried?

1. The best time to dry quilts on a sunny day in winter is from 10 am to 2:30 pm. If you want to expose the quilt to the sun for a little longer but put it away too late, cold and moisture will invade and the water will be too wet, which will be counterproductive.

2. Hang the quilt on the rope with the quilt cover inside, and mainly dry the inside of the quilt. Dry the quilt cover at around 1:00 p.m. and you can put it away at 4:00 p.m. It is best to pat it when putting it away. If it is dirty, it is best to beat it with a stick or something like that. The purpose of drying quilts is to kill bacteria in the quilts with ultraviolet rays. Dry your quilt in the sun often so it will be more comfortable when you sleep.

3. When drying the quilt, in order to avoid direct sunlight, you can cover it with a bed sheet, but turn the quilt over in the middle so that both sides can be evenly exposed to the sun. Kapok trees should be exposed to the sun for three to four hours twice a week. Synthetic cotton should be exposed to the sun once a week for two to three hours, which is ideal.

Wool quilts should be dried twice a month in the shade for two hours. The feathers are dried in the shade once a month for thirty minutes in summer and one hour in winter.

Down quilts can also be draped over a chair and placed indoors as long as there is ventilation.
