Do I need to remove the lip mask? Do I need to use the lip mask every day?

Lip masks are very helpful in improving our lip problems, but many people think that lip masks are the same as lipsticks and they don’t need to be washed off after application. So let’s find out whether lip masks need to be removed? Should lip masks be used every day?

There are two types of lip masks, one is a paste lip mask and the other is a lip mask sticker. Lip mask stickers need to be washed after use, while paste lip masks do not need to be washed after use. Most of the paste lip masks are wash-free lip masks, which are not irritating to the lips. Lip masks are like "facial masks" for the lips. They have the functions of moisturizing, softening, removing aging cuticles, and lightening lip lines. The principle of lip masks is the same as that of facial masks, which provide nutrients to the lips. After applying a facial mask, you usually need to wash your face. Similarly, you also need to wash off the lip mask sticker after use. Of course, wash-free lip masks do not need to be washed. As a first aid product for the lips, the lip mask is best used within 15-20 minutes each time. If the lip mask is used for too long, the lip mask exposed to the air will gradually dry up, and then absorb the moisture in the lips, making the lips drier than before, and even causing allergies in severe cases. The lip mask has the function of removing aging cuticles because it contains exfoliating ingredients. If you do not wash it after applying the lip mask, it will easily irritate the lips over time. Not washing the lip mask after use is not conducive to subsequent maintenance. After applying the lip mask, the skin care steps are not over yet, there are still some subsequent maintenance work, just like applying lotion and cream after applying a facial mask. If you don’t wash your lips after applying the lip mask, you will not be able to perform better subsequent maintenance.

No. 1. Lip mask has the effect of exfoliating, so it cannot be used every day. If used every day, the stratum corneum will become thinner, making the lip skin fragile.

2. The lips' ability to absorb the nutrients in the lip mask is also limited. If used every day, it will increase the burden on the lips to absorb the nutrients in the lip mask. Not only will it fail to achieve the desired skin care effect, it may also cause nutrient residue.

3. It is generally recommended to use a lip mask once every two to three days. This frequency of use can maximize the use of the nutrients in the lip mask, and at the same time will not cause absorption burden on the lip skin. It is a more suitable frequency of use.

Lip masks can be applied for about fifteen minutes each time and then washed off. Lip masks are divided into smearable and lip mask stickers. There are also wash-free lip masks that can be applied all night and washed off the next morning. Before using the lip mask, wash your lips first to ensure that they are clean, which will not affect the effectiveness of the lip mask. Use a hot towel to apply heat to the lips for five minutes. Hot compress can soften the cuticle, making it easier to remove dead skin on the lips, and it is more conducive to the absorption of skin care product ingredients. After using the lip mask, use lip balm to help moisturize and lock in moisture on the lips, which will make the lips more moisturizing.

Clean the lips before applying the lip mask. Use a special makeup remover to clean the lips. Especially for those who like to apply lipstick and lipstick, deep cleaning is necessary. After cleaning, you can use a lip exfoliating product with a mint formula to remove dead skin from the lips. Note that exfoliation can be done once a month. Massage the lips After cleaning, you can use your fingers to massage the lips. Generally, you can pinch the upper lip with your index finger and thumb, keep the thumb still, and move the index finger in a circular manner to massage the upper lip. Note that the movements are gentle; then pinch the lower lip with your index finger and thumb, keep the index finger still, and gently move the thumb to massage the lower lip. Then massage the upper and lower lips rhythmically in opposite directions, and repeat several times. After the lip mask massage is finished, apply the prepared lip mask according to the lip shape, and then cover it with a cold towel. After about 10 minutes, wipe off the lip mask. Note that the lip mask can be done 1-2 times a week. Apply lip balm After applying the lip mask, you can apply lip balm and other products again after cleaning the lips to help enhance the effect of the lip mask.
