Can I apply a facial mask while soaking in a hot spring? Is it good to apply a facial mask while soaking in a hot spring?

Many people feel bored when taking a hot spring bath, so they want to apply a facial mask to achieve the purpose of double skin care. In fact, this idea is wrong. It is not advisable to apply a facial mask whether taking a bath or taking a hot spring bath.

It is generally not recommended to apply a facial mask while taking a hot spring bath. Many people believe that applying a facial mask while taking a hot spring bath can help absorb nutrients. In fact, it is just the opposite.

1. Blocking the breathing of pores When you soak in hot springs, the heat of the hot spring water will open the pores of your body, and the sweat and dirt in your body will be discharged through the opened pores. If you put on a facial mask at this time, not only will the skin care products in the mask not be absorbed, but it will also block the discharge of sweat and dirt. In addition, most hot springs contain sulfur or carbonic acid, which may irritate the skin if they react chemically with the ingredients of the mask at high temperatures. Therefore, next time, don't put on a facial mask while soaking in a hot spring!

2. Impact on water quality and the perception of others The water quality of hot springs also needs to be maintained by everyone, especially when bathing in public pools. If you apply a facial mask while bathing in the hot spring, if the mask accidentally falls off, or the essence of the mask flows into the hot spring water, this will destroy the original hot spring quality. And applying a facial mask in the pool is not very elegant. In order to avoid causing a bad impression to others and damaging the water quality, it is better not to apply a facial mask while bathing in the hot spring.

It is not a good idea to apply a facial mask when taking a hot spring bath. This is because when taking a bath or sauna, the skin sweats more and excretes water and certain metabolic waste impurities from the body. Taking a bath is mainly for "cleaning". At this time, the pores should be kept unobstructed and it is not appropriate to use a facial mask to cause "congestion". After taking a bath, the cuticle becomes soft, the water increases, and the blood circulation speeds up. This is the best time to apply a facial mask.

1. Wash and remove makeup before soaking in hot springs. The hot spring environment is usually hot and steamy, so even if your face is not directly immersed in the hot spring water, the ingredients of makeup may still change due to the high temperature, which can easily deteriorate and cause skin sensitivity. Therefore, you should thoroughly remove your makeup before soaking in hot springs. After washing your face, keep your face bare so that the sweat and dirt generated by the hot spring can be discharged smoothly.

2. Replenish water in time when soaking in hot springs. Soaking in hot springs is like exercising, which will cause a lot of sweating and physical energy consumption. Therefore, each soaking time should not be too long, no more than 15 minutes at a time. You need to leave the hot spring pool in time to rest and replenish water, and soak again after a short rest. Take a hot spring bath in multiple cycles. In addition to drinking water, you can also drink some sports drinks to replenish electrolytes in moderation.

3. Apply a facial mask and wipe off skin care products after soaking in hot springs. The warm spring water opens the pores, and a lot of sweat and dirt are discharged. Therefore, after washing with clean water after soaking in hot springs, you can apply a facial mask after soaking in hot springs to allow the skin care ingredients to be absorbed more. The moisturizing ability of the skin of the elderly is weaker, so it is recommended to wipe off skin care products with higher moisturizing properties to moisturize the skin after soaking in hot springs.

It is generally recommended to soak in hot springs for 5 to 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, you can slowly get up and take a short break. Because the hot spring water temperature is high, the blood vessels on the surface of the skin will expand slightly, promote blood circulation, and help the body's energy metabolism. But be careful: some people may feel dizzy, faint, and have dry skin when soaking in the hot spring due to different physical conditions. At this time, it is recommended to slowly get up and move to the hot spring to take a short break. Before immersing your body in the hot spring water, you can first use your fingers to detect the water temperature, and then slowly immerse your limbs in the hot spring water. The water temperature for the hot spring should not exceed 43℃.
