When applying a mask, what misunderstandings will harm our skin?

Mask is a common skin care product for many women. Proper mask application is helpful for skin care, but if you don't pay attention to the time and method of mask application, you may be reluctant to apply it. Pay attention to hydrating the skin before and after applying the mask. Don't apply the mask too often, not for too long at a time, and don't apply the mask when taking a shower. Avoiding these misunderstandings can make the efficacy of the mask play better and make the skin better maintained.

The first misunderstanding is that you can apply the mask directly after cleaning, and you can sleep or make up directly after applying the mask. I just washed my face and my skin is dry. At this time, you must do a good job of basic moisturizing, which can delay the pore closure and make the essence in the mask be absorbed more effectively. The skin looks good after applying the mask, but it is temporary. If you don't continue the subsequent maintenance steps, the effective ingredients in the mask can't be locked at all, and the efficacy of the mask will be greatly reduced.

The second misunderstanding is that the more masks you apply, the better. Most masks are applied too frequently, which can easily destroy the stratum corneum of the skin and cause skin sensitivity, redness and other adverse symptoms. In fact, two or three times a week is generally more appropriate. The third misunderstanding is that the longer the mask is applied, the better. Generally, it is recommended to apply the mask for 15~20 minutes. During this time, the skin will absorb the nutrients in the mask. If it exceeds this time, the moisture in the skin may flow back.

The fourth misunderstanding is that it is better to apply a mask when taking a bath. When taking a bath, the indoor temperature is very high and there is a lot of steam, which is also a good time to detoxify the pores. If you apply a mask at this time, high temperature will evaporate the moisture and essence of the mask, which will also affect the breathing of pores. In fact, the skin is short of water after bathing, and it is best to apply a mask at this time. When applying the mask, you must pay attention to avoid these four misunderstandings, and don't wait until it has no effect.
