Can I use a sleeping mask after using a mud mask? Can I use a facial cleanser after using a mud mask?

Facial masks have many effects on the skin, and different masks have different main functions. Mud mask is a mask with a cleansing effect. After using the mud mask, you can usually apply a hydrating mask or a soothing mask.

Yes, the mask mud is for cleaning the skin, while the sleeping mask is basically for moisturizing. Don't use the mask too frequently, as it is difficult for the skin to fully absorb it in a short period of time and needs to be digested. It is best to apply the mask 2-3 times a week. If you don't have allergic skin, you can use it. Before using the mask, pat some water on it to help absorption.

After using the mud mask, you don't need to use a facial cleanser to clean your face. You need to use a facial cleanser to clean your face before applying the mud mask. The mud mask itself has a cleansing effect and can exfoliate. Using a facial cleanser after applying the mud mask will irritate the skin, so there is no need to use it again. The mud mask is rich in minerals and can exfoliate, clean pores, and remove blackheads. When using it, you should remove makeup before cleansing. When applying it, you should also avoid the area around the eyes. The amount should be moderate, not too thick or too thin. Ten minutes is enough. Too long will take away the moisture in the skin, and too short will hardly work. When applying the mud mask, you don't need to wait for the mud mask to dry completely before washing it. Ten minutes is already a long time. When washing the mud mask, just use clean water. If you want to wash it clean, it is more appropriate to use a face towel because it has a large friction force, can take away the mud mask, and the cleaning effect is also better. You don’t need to use facial cleanser after applying mud mask because the stratum corneum on your face is already very thin after using mud mask. If you use facial cleanser again, it will make the stratum corneum thinner, which is not good for the skin. So you need to do skin care instead of cleaning. Finally, it should be said that mud mask does not have to be used with skin care products. It is also very effective when used with facial mask.

Whether you can use a facial mask after using a mud mask depends on the efficacy of the mask.

It is recommended to use a facial mask after using the mud mask.

1. Cleansing mud mask + hydrating and whitening mask

Cleansing mud mask will fully open the pores and clean them to a certain extent during use, so the face will be cleaner or smoother after use, but it will also cause the face to become dehydrated and dry due to the use of mud mask. At this time, using whitening or hydrating mask can penetrate into the pores to moisturize the skin or achieve the desired effect, so in this regard, using a facial mask after using mud mask will double the effect.

2. Mud film + water film

Whether it is a functional mud mask or a cleansing mask, it will have a certain moisturizing effect on the skin during use. At this time, frequent use of facial masks will lead to excess nutrition on the face, resulting in skin dependence or non-absorption. At this time, simply using a water mask made after soaking in lotion will not put much pressure on the skin, and at most it can hydrate the skin and avoid the burden and excess nutrition caused by excessive efficacy. Therefore, in this regard, the combination of mud masks and water masks can be used before and after.

It is not recommended to use a facial mask after using the mud mask.

1. Functional mud mask + facial mask

Using a facial mask after using a functional mud mask is a more direct way to deny it. This is because any functional mud mask will have a relevant skin care effect on the skin, and using a facial mask at this time will cause more serious skin damage and possible allergies or thickening of the cuticle. Therefore, this combination that will cause damage to the skin is not recommended for use on the skin, resulting in ineffective skin care.

2. Requirements of the mask itself

Both facial masks and mud masks belong to the category of large facial masks, and any type of facial mask itself cannot be used frequently within a week. This is because both types of products have intensive repair effects on the skin and will cause excessive burden on the skin, so in this regard, using a facial mask after a mud mask is not recommended and will not cause some unnecessary problems.

Step 1. Keep the mud mask moist

You should do this step when applying the mud mask, as it is related to your subsequent cleaning. You should keep the facial mud mask moist for 15 to 20 minutes (the specific duration depends on the instructions of the brand you use). When it is almost dry, spray it with a wet mist. This way, the moist mud mask is easier to clean.

Step 2. Remove the mud film

Use a small spoon to remove the mud mask from your face. Scrape it gently along the skin texture without applying too much force.

Step 3. Sponge cleaning

Use a special cleansing puff to clean the remaining mud mask residue. When washing, follow the texture of the face, and be sure to wash from bottom to top to lift the skin.

Note: It is best to use warm water to wash. If you don't have a cleansing puff, you can try to apply it with a wet towel first, and then gently scrub it with a towel.
