Should I apply a hot or cold mask in winter? How to apply a mask correctly in winter

When we apply facial masks in the summer, we often put them in the refrigerator and put them on our faces to keep them cool. So what is the best way to apply facial masks in winter? Here, I will introduce you to the methods of applying facial masks in winter.

Hot compress. In winter, the blood circulation of the skin slows down. The coldness of the mask will shrink the pores and weaken the skin's absorption capacity. Hot compress can mobilize the activity of skin cells, open the pores, and speed up the skin's absorption, achieving the effect of applying a mask.

When winter comes, applying the same mask may not be as effective as in other seasons. After 15 minutes, the lotion on the mask has not been absorbed or the mask has not dried completely. Because the blood circulation of the skin slows down in winter, the coldness of the mask shrinks the pores and the skin's absorption capacity is weakened. Therefore, if you want to apply a mask at night in winter, it is recommended to wash your face with warm water first. This can mobilize the activity of skin cells and open the pores, so that when applying the mask, it can speed up the skin's absorption and achieve the effect of applying the mask.

However, washing your face with warm water before applying a mask is not enough. Your mask is still so cold. What should you do? At this time, you need to warm it up. Generally, it is most suitable for moisturizing masks to be soaked in 38℃ water for 5 minutes. If the temperature is too high or the heating time is too long, the ingredients of the mask will be destroyed.

After applying the mask, the pores are still open. It is recommended to wash them with cold water to shrink the pores. It can be seen that there are also some requirements for applying masks in winter. Although the temperature of the mask is well controlled, it is also necessary to match the right products to make the skin supple and smooth in winter!

If it is too cold to apply a facial mask in winter, you can apply it while taking a bath. Taking a bath with hot water can naturally open your pores and you won’t feel too cold when applying a facial mask. Applying a facial mask while taking a bath can not only replenish moisture but also not feel too cold. It is a good method.

When applying a facial mask in winter, you can also use a hot towel to warm your face first. After applying the mask, soak the towel in hot water, then wring it dry and place it on the edge of the facial contour. This will make your face feel warm and not too cold.

If you feel too cold to apply a facial mask in winter, you can use a cream mask. Many people like sheet masks because they are more convenient to use and they fit better in winter. After all, everyone's face shape is different and you won't feel too cold when you apply the mask on your face. The nutrients it contains are no less than those of sheet masks, so if you feel cold in winter, you can use a cream mask instead.

It is too cold to apply a facial mask in winter, but the heat can be absorbed. Our skin itself has a certain temperature. If you want the mask to be absorbed better, you can apply it during the day. The temperature is relatively high at this time, which can reduce the cold feeling of the mask and make the mask absorb better.

If you want your facial mask to be better absorbed in winter, you can use a sleeping mask instead. Sleeping masks are generally cream-like, with a relatively gentle texture and not too irritating. They can completely solve the cold feeling of patch masks and achieve the effect of protecting the skin.

Winter facial masks can be DIYed with essence and facial cream, which can also achieve the nourishing and repairing effect, solve the problem of discomfort caused by applying patch masks, improve skin damage, and make skin elasticity better.
