Can sleeping masks be applied directly? How to use sleeping masks correctly

Sleeping mask is a very common skin care and cleaning product on the market. It saves a lot of time for girls because they don’t need to be washed at night after using it. However, few people know the correct way to use sleeping mask. So we need to know whether sleeping mask can be applied directly? How to use sleeping mask correctly?

The sleeping mask cannot be applied directly to the face during use. Before using the sleeping mask, it is necessary to use a certain moisturizing toner, lotion, etc. for skin care. The skin care steps before using the sleeping mask cannot be reduced. Makeup removal, face washing, patting water, essence lotion, these are all necessary. In daily life, you must prepare before using the sleeping mask. Because most sleeping masks will stay on the face for a long time, if you don't do a good job of cleaning and skin care, it will cause the dust and cosmetics left over during the day to clog the pores, causing acne and affecting the quality of the skin. Most sleeping masks have moisturizing and hydrating effects, so the nutrients they contain will not be too rich, and long-term use will not improve the skin significantly, so in the process of sleeping masks, we must do a good job of daily skin care procedures to ensure that your skin is effectively cared for. The sleeping mask contains relatively more nutrients. After applying it to the face, it will firmly lock the moisture contained in the skin and concentrate on nourishing the facial skin. However, it takes some time for the mask to be absorbed. After application, the mask cannot immediately penetrate into the bottom layer of the skin. It needs to be digested on the face for a period of time, about 10-15 minutes. Female friends who use sleeping masks at this time cannot fall asleep immediately, which will affect the overall effect of the mask. Female friends can massage their face with their hands to promote the absorption of mask ingredients and allow the mask to penetrate deeply into the skin before going to sleep.

1. Clean the skin. Before using the sleeping mask, you must first clean the skin thoroughly. If you are a woman who wears makeup during the day, you should use makeup remover to remove the makeup, and then use facial cleanser to clean the skin. If you are not wearing makeup, you can directly use facial cleanser to clean the dust and oil on the skin. This can prevent skin infections caused by skin care products or dust being brought into the pores.

2. Basic care: After cleansing your skin, don’t think that you need to apply a facial mask immediately. You should do some basic skin care, apply toner and lotion on your skin, and do necessary moisturizing work.

3. Apply a facial mask. After completing basic skin care, you should start applying a sleeping mask. Please note that the sleeping mask does not need to be applied too thickly, as this will affect the skin's ability to breathe and increase the burden on the skin. In addition, if you choose not to wash the mask, it is easy to get on the pillow and quilt.

4. Massage. After applying the sleeping mask, you cannot go to sleep immediately. You can wait until the mask is slightly dry, and then use the fingertips to gently massage the facial skin, so that the nutrients of the sleeping mask can be more easily absorbed by the skin.

5. Cleaning: Whether this step is necessary depends on individual needs. However, if you feel that the sleeping mask is too greasy and are worried about pores being clogged or enlarged, it is best to clean the sleeping mask half an hour after use. Then apply some skin care products appropriately.

Compared with other skin care products, the main advantage of sleeping masks is their strong ability to promote absorption and prevent moisture loss from the skin. Therefore, sleeping masks are more effective in moisturizing. This is the basic function of sleeping masks. The effect of sleeping masks is also closely related to other ingredients in the formula. Some sleeping masks emphasize moisturizing, and a large number of high-quality moisturizing ingredients are added to the formula, and the moisturizing effect is indeed good; some masks emphasize whitening and will also add corresponding ingredients. If the amount added is sufficient, the effect is still worth looking forward to; some sleeping masks are just hyped up with the concept of sleeping masks, and only some simple moisturizers are added, so the effect will naturally not be good.

No. It is good to apply a mask before going to bed, but if you apply it before going to sleep, all the efforts will be wasted, unless it is a sleeping mask. The consequence of this is that the dryness and dehydration of the skin will become more serious, because if the mask is applied dry, the mask will absorb the moisture on your face, making your skin dehydrated. Therefore, when you wake up, you will find that your skin is drier and tighter than before. It is best not to leave the mask on your face for more than half an hour, because if the time is too long, the mask will not only stop delivering nutrients to the skin, but will absorb the moisture on your skin due to the change of nutrients, which will cause the loss of skin moisture, which is not good.
