Do I need to apply a mask before putting on makeup? How long after applying the mask is it best to put on makeup?

Many girls think that putting on a mask before putting on makeup can help moisturize the skin, so that makeup won't get stuck or peel off. Is this idea correct? Do you need to put on a mask before putting on makeup?

It is not necessary to apply a facial mask before putting on makeup. Many people like to apply a facial mask before putting on makeup. In fact, this practice is wrong. Applying a facial mask before putting on makeup will only cause a certain amount of pressure on the skin, making the skin more sensitive. Therefore, it is best not to apply a facial mask before putting on makeup.

When the skin is extremely dry, facial masks are used to remedy the situation. However, the best time to apply a facial mask is at night, not before putting on makeup. Night is the best time for the skin to repair itself.

Although applying a facial mask before makeup may make your skin look more moisturized, it is only temporary. The essence in the mask will be infiltrated into the stratum corneum, thereby softening the sebum in the stratum corneum. At this time, the stratum corneum will become more fragile, and its ability to resist dirty air will be greatly weakened. Therefore, it is not suitable to apply a facial mask before makeup.

Apply a mask before putting on makeup and wait half an hour before putting on makeup. Many girls who love to wear makeup like to apply a moisturizing mask before putting on makeup to moisturize the skin and make it easier to put on makeup. A skin with a high degree of moisture can indeed show a better makeup effect after putting on makeup. However, you cannot put on makeup immediately after applying a mask. You need to wait for about 30 minutes before starting to put on makeup.

After applying the mask, you will find that your face feels a little sticky, which means that there is still a lot of essence that has not been absorbed by the skin. At this time, you need to use your fingers to gently massage your face so that the essence can fully penetrate into the inner layer of the skin. After the essence has been completely absorbed, use clean water to clean the surface of the skin again. This is because the preservatives and other substances in the mask are still on the surface of the skin. If they are not cleaned thoroughly, they will cause a certain degree of damage to the skin.

After washing the remaining substances of the mask with clean water, you need to leave it on the skin for more than 30 minutes, and wait for the pores to slowly shrink back to normal before starting to put on makeup. Because when applying the mask, the pores are in a state of expansion and opening. If there is no rest and contraction process, the expanded pores are easy to absorb harmful substances in cosmetics.

Therefore, after applying the mask, you must give your skin enough rest time. This will not only create fair, moist and healthy skin, but also prevent harmful substances in cosmetics from entering the inner layer of the skin through the expanded pores, causing certain burdens and damage to the skin.

1. The best time to apply a facial mask is before going to bed at night. You can start applying the facial mask after taking a shower at about 9 o'clock in the evening. At this time, the skin is relaxed and the pores are open, so the nutrients of the mask can be absorbed more fully. Of course, the effect is the same if you steam your face after washing it and then apply the mask.

2. The effect of using a mask in the first week after menstruation is doubled. Do you feel that after the menstrual period, your complexion becomes better, your skin looks good, and the effect of skin care products is obvious? This is because the first week after the menstrual period is the follicular phase, and the skin's absorption capacity is the best during this period. Using high-concentration skin care products such as masks and essences can harvest more nutrients and make your skin even better.

3. Sleeping mask is not a sleeping mask. Why do I say that? There is a misunderstanding here. Many people think that sleeping mask means you can sleep directly after applying it, and you don’t need to wash your face. Just think about it, the pores need to metabolize at night. If the mask blocks the pores, how can you breathe fresh air? It is also easy to grow fat particles. It is best to wash your face after using the sleeping mask.

You need to wash your face after applying the moisturizing mask. After the moisturizing mask is applied, the skin cells have fully absorbed nutrients and are in a saturated state. At this time, the nutrients remaining on the surface of the face can no longer be absorbed by the skin. Washing your face can help the skin absorb other skin care products.
