1. I love facial masks and wear them every day. Facial masks are a staple among skin care products. Although they are very effective, in principle they cannot be used every day unless there are special requirements.

Some facial masks have clearly marked cycles, such as a 5-day treatment course, or 3 masks in 10 days.

If you want to achieve the best results, you should strictly adhere to it.

If used continuously for a long time, 1 to 2 times a week is enough.

Otherwise, no matter how good the food is, you will feel full after eating too much! Of course, if it is an emergency under special circumstances, it can be used at any time.

Using a cleansing mask every day can cause skin sensitivity, even redness and swelling, causing immature cuticles to lose their ability to resist external aggression; using a moisturizing mask every day can easily cause acne; using a hydrating mask can be used every day in dry seasons.

2. Apply a facial mask while taking a bath. Applying a facial mask while taking a bath is really a smart and time-saving method, but it depends on the facial mask you choose.

Wet-type facial masks are recommended, and peel-off and jelly-type masks are not recommended.

Because water vapor will make it difficult for the mask to adhere to the skin, if it is a mask that needs to be dried, water vapor will affect the effect of the mask.

In addition to facial masks, facial massage creams that are now popular in the beauty industry are also very suitable for use in the bath. The steam in the bath can help soften cuticles.

3. No special use of eye mask is required. The thickness of eye skin is only 1/4 of normal skin, so it requires more special care.

Many facial masks, especially cleansing and moisturizing ones, contain ingredients that can cause irritation to the delicate skin around the eyes, so avoid using them around the eyes.

Therefore, if you want to take better care of the skin around your eyes, it is still necessary to use eye masks.

Especially when the skin around the eyes is dehydrated and nutrient-deficient, intensive maintenance can achieve ideal results.

In fact, eye masks should be used consistently, at least twice a week, and combined with eye cream to achieve the best eye protection effect.

4. Use a mask-like mask on the neck. Neck skin cannot be ignored. Neck skin is the easiest to reveal age, but when attending important occasions, we often have to wear a dress with a bare neck.

Therefore, a few days before dressing up, you must start taking care of your neck before applying makeup.

Make a moisturizing neck mask 1 week in advance to keep the neck skin fully hydrated; apply the neck mask again about 15 minutes before officially putting on makeup, which can quickly lighten pigmentation and even out the skin tone of the neck; then apply moisturizing isolation cream

on the neck so makeup can be applied.

5. Never waste the essence in the mask. It is very good to be conscious of saving, but it must be used in the right place! "Excessive use" of the time of applying the mask will cause the skin to lose water and nutrients.

Therefore, in addition to following the instructions for use, you can make a rough estimate of the usage time based on different facial masks: if the mask has a moderate moisture content, remove it after about 15 minutes to avoid absorbing moisture from the skin after the mask dries; if the mask has a high moisture content,

You can use it for a while, but you need to remove it after 30 minutes at most.

If you really can’t bear to part with the essence inside, it’s also a good idea to use it on other parts of your body.

6. Be sure to exfoliate before applying a facial mask. It is necessary to keep the skin clean before applying a facial mask, but it is not necessary to exfoliate every time.

The stratum corneum of the skin is the natural barrier of the skin. It has the functions of preventing skin moisture loss and neutralizing the pH. The metabolic cycle of the stratum corneum is 28 days, that is, the stratum corneum metabolizes some dead cells every 28 days, so exfoliation can last up to 1 month.

Do it once. Exfoliating too frequently will damage the cuticle.

In addition, sensitive skin does not require frequent exfoliation.

7. Never use peel-off masks. Peel-off masks make use of the full contact and adhesion between the mask and the skin. When the mask is torn away from the skin, all the blackheads, aged cuticles and oil on the skin are "peeled off".

.

It has the strongest cleaning ability, but it is also the most harmful to the skin. Improper use may cause skin laxity, enlarged pores and skin allergies.

There has always been a lot of controversy about peel-off facial masks, because the very act of peeling off can cause damage to the skin, so it is not recommended to use this type of mask.

Of course, the advantage of the peel-off mask is that it has strong cleaning power. If you really like this kind of mask, remember to avoid the eyes and eyebrows when applying the mask, and the frequency of use should not be too high. Usually once a week is enough.

8. My hobby is DIY facial masks. Many girls see TV and magazines promoting their own DIY facial masks. The idea is good, but in fact it does very little help to our skin. It may be that there is some effect when I first finish it, but it will not work the next day.

The skin texture returned to its original appearance.

The reason is that the ingredients of these homemade facial masks are very natural, but they have not been processed by some science and technology. Generally speaking, the molecules are too large to be absorbed by the skin, so although they are interesting and save money, they are not effective. If you are smart, you should think about it carefully.

! 9. Use a cleansing mask for oily skin. It is very important for mm with oily skin to apply a facial mask. You can choose three types of masks: oil-controlling mask, deep cleansing mask, and moisturizing mask.

Because in the dry season, the skin will also be dehydrated and become oily and dry.

Using the program, you can choose one day of the week to do the oil control and moisturizing mask, and do the deep cleansing and moisturizing mask every other week.
