What will happen if you don't apply a facial mask for a long time? Three times when you can't apply a facial mask

Facial masks are a very popular and beloved skin care product. There are many benefits of applying facial masks. Facial masks can improve skin conditions. Different facial masks have different effects and are suitable for different skin types.

If you don’t use a facial mask for a long time, your skin will become dry and aged, so take good care of your skin as soon as possible.

⑴ Before use, it is best to wash your face before applying the mask, or apply a hot towel to your face for 2 minutes after massage before applying the mask. Use warm water to open the pores, discharge sebum and dirt, and the nutrients in the mask will be more easily absorbed into the skin.

⑵ When you have dry skin or the climate is dry, you can apply toner first. The cleansing mask needs to be washed after use and should be applied before the toner and softener. The moisturizing mask should be applied after the toner and softener. The cotton mask should be used after toning and before moisturizing. It usually does not need to be washed after use.

⑶ Use your fingers to apply the mask evenly on the face and neck, but be careful that the mask must be about 0.5 cm away from the eyes and mouth to prevent the eyes and lips from being irritated by the mask and causing adverse reactions. It should also be kept at a certain distance from the hair.

⑷ After applying the mask, it is best not to make any big expressions or move your face. Wait until the mask is completely dry (about 20 to 30 minutes) to avoid affecting the effect.

⑸ To remove the mask, first wet the mask with warm water, gently tear it off from bottom to top, and then wash it off with lukewarm water.

⑹After washing your face, gently pat your face with toner and lotion suitable for your skin. Do not put on makeup for the time being and let your skin rest for a while.

You cannot use a mask when taking a bath or after sunburn or allergic skin. There are many types of masks. You should choose a mask that suits you according to your personal situation to make your skin more delicate and shiny. It is very important to choose the time to use the mask. Once the wrong time is chosen, it will also affect the absorption effect of the skin. Under normal circumstances, it is not recommended to use a mask when taking a bath. The bathroom is too hot. It is easy to evaporate the essence in the mask when using the mask, and the effect after use will be greatly affected. The most appropriate time to use a mask is after washing. At this time, the pores of the skin are completely open and can have a very good absorption effect. You cannot use a mask after the skin is sunburned, because the skin has not fully recovered, and using the mask immediately will cause a certain tingling sensation. The skin after being sunburned is relatively fragile. The mask contains a certain amount of alcohol, which will have a great impact on the skin. After sunburn, you can choose to use aloe vera gel to apply, which can achieve very good results because it is purely plant-based. If you have acne on your face, it is not recommended to use a mask. At this time, the skin on your face may be infected by using a mask. Once the mask is used, the skin will be greatly affected and may be injured. When choosing a mask for overly sensitive skin, it is best to choose a pure plant type, which will not cause any damage to the skin and can also allow your skin to fully absorb moisture.

1. Patches

The simplest and most convenient mask is also the one that most people like to use. The essence of a mask is basically about 25~35ml. After applying it for about 15 minutes, there will be some essence left on your face. Gently massage for a while to allow the essence to be better absorbed by the skin. Now comes the key point! If you feel that your face is still sticky after massage, and there is too much essence, you can rinse it with clean water and then proceed with the subsequent skin care steps; if you feel that the essence has been absorbed almost after massage and there is no sticky feeling, you don’t need to wash your face again, and you can directly proceed with the subsequent skin care steps!

2. Jelly and cream masks

After applying the mask, both the jelly and cream masks need to be washed with clean water to ensure that there is no mask residue before proceeding to the next step of skin care. This is the best way to ensure that the subsequent skin care products are absorbed. Both the cream and jelly masks are products that have good sealing properties for the skin. When applying the mask, the nutrients are already sufficient, so they need to be washed clean after application.

3. Sleeping mask

Many sleeping masks say "no-wash", which means you can wear it while sleeping. If you want to wear it overnight, a thin layer is enough. Too thick a layer will prevent your skin from breathing normally, and it will easily rub against the quilt and pillow. When you get up the next day, be sure to wash your face carefully with a facial cleanser!

4. Peel off the mask

Some cleansing masks are peel-off type, especially some nose masks for removing blackheads. It feels good to see densely packed blackheads on them after peeling them off, right? However, many people start their normal skin care steps after peeling them off, completely ignoring the step of tightening pores, which leads to the return of blackheads after a few days. Whether it is a peel-off nose mask or a peel-off facial mask, after peeling it off, you must rinse it with clean water, and then apply astringent water for a while to help shrink the pores.

1. The time for each mask is different. If it is a peel-off mask, wait until it is completely dry, if it is a cloth mask, it will take about 20 minutes, and if it is a paste, it will take 15 to 30 minutes.

2. The selected mask has particularly good moisturizing performance. Some people will choose to leave it on all night, but it is generally not recommended to apply the mask all night, because the skin cannot breathe normally, which will be counterproductive.

3. For masks with moderate moisture content, do not leave them on for more than 15 minutes, otherwise the mask will absorb moisture from the skin after it dries, which will be counterproductive.

4. The editor recommends that you apply the mask for 15 minutes. If the moisture content is high, you can apply it for more time, but it should not exceed 25 minutes. Covering the pores will always make them stuffy, just like wearing a mask.

5. If it is a moisturizing mask, remember to use facial cream to lock in moisture after application.

6. If it is an emergency under special circumstances, it can be used at any time.
