How to Properly Apply a Mask?

1. Do an allergy test

Before using the mask, it is best to do an allergy test first, so as to avoid the phenomenon of skin allergies.

 Apply a small amount of the mask essence on the back of your hand and wash off after 30 minutes. If there is no redness or itching reaction, you can apply it on your face.

Especially for young ladies who like DIY masks, they should develop the habit of doing allergy tests first.

2. Facial cleansing

No matter what type of mask you apply, you must first remove makeup and thoroughly clean your face. Only by removing the dust and oil on the surface of the pores can the essence of the mask be fully absorbed.

When washing your face, it is best to use warm water to clean your face, then apply a warm towel to your face for a while, and then use the mask after the pores are opened.

3. Use a mask

Masks are divided into patch type, paste type, mud type and gel type mask. The easiest way to apply a patch mask is to push the nose bridge to the surrounding area, and lay it flat without leaving any gaps.

Other smear-type masks need to be applied evenly, and the dosage should follow the product instructions. Not all masks are applied as thickly as possible.

4.Tear off the mask

After applying the mask, the posture of tearing off the mask is also very particular, starting from the edge of the film and slowly peeling off from bottom to top.

The mask can be applied for 15-20 minutes. If it is applied for too long, it will easily cause a reverse absorption effect and bring a burden to the skin.

5. Massage to absorb

After removing the mask, pat the face lightly and massage in circular motions to promote the absorption of the mask essence. The excess essence can be applied to the neck and hands to avoid waste.

During massage, you can massage and lift on both sides of the cheeks, and press and stretch from the chin and jawbone to the forehead. This action can prevent the skin from sagging and sagging and reduce the formation of nasolabial wrinkles.

6. Lock in water and moisturize

Many young ladies think that it is enough after applying the mask, but in fact, if the essence of the mask is to be fully absorbed by the skin, further moisturizing is required.

After removing the mask, wash off any residue on your face with lukewarm water before applying your usual skin care products. In this way, you can achieve the best face application effect.

The above are the correct steps to apply a mask, have you all gotten it? Only the right method can maximize the effectiveness of the mask. Otherwise, putting on an expensive mask is a waste.
