1, basic knowledge of mask application
1, the best time to apply mask is -23: 00.
The human body has its own biological clock, and if beauty care can be coordinated with the natural work and rest of the skin, it can play its greatest role.
06: 00-07: 00: Cell regeneration activity is the lowest, which can be used to prevent dehydration, ultraviolet rays and health products rich in vitamins A, C and E. ..
08: 00- 12: 00: The skin has the best bearing capacity and the strongest resistance, and can be used for cosmetic projects such as plastic surgery, hair removal, freckle removal, skin change and eyebrow tattoo.
13: 00- 15: 00: It is easy to feel tired, and the skin's ability to absorb efficient substances is weak, so you can do some relaxation care for the skin.
16: 00-20: 00: Microcirculation is enhanced, skin absorption capacity is enhanced, and skin is deeply maintained.
20: 00-23: 00: Allergic reaction is easy to occur, which is not suitable for beauty care.
23: 00-05: 00: The cell division rate is 8 times as high as usual, and the skin has a strong ability to absorb nutrients. At this time, some nutritious nourishing night cream can achieve the best effect.
2. Make sure the skin is clean before applying the mask.
Only by thoroughly removing oil stains, sebum and aged keratin from the skin surface can the skin be truly clean, the cells in the basal layer become active, and the skin can absorb more nutrients. Therefore, before applying the film, you should first remove makeup, wash your face and exfoliate if necessary. But exfoliation should not be too frequent, so as not to damage the natural barrier of the skin. Basically, it is best to exfoliate twice a month, and once a month is enough for sensitive skin.
3. Make sure the skin is moist before applying the mask.
Moist skin can better absorb moisture and nutrition, so be sure to keep your skin moist before applying the mask. Dry skin can be coated with some lotion first, but if you wet your face with a hot towel for 3 minutes before applying the mask, the pores will open, and the skin can better absorb the essence of the mask, which will improve the effect of applying the face.
4. The smear mask can be thicker.
Most masks are really more effective when applied, because they must be thick enough to cover every inch of skin and give full play to the efficacy of the mask. In addition, sufficient thickness can also ensure the tightness of the mask, so that the skin can fully absorb the essence. Of course, the thicker the better, the thicker the corner!
5. Different skin types can choose masks with different effects.
Water-deficient muscles: replenish water to the symptoms, and use gel-like sleep mask and light weave mask. Open pores with warm steam before application, which is more helpful to soften keratin and absorb moisture.
Lightly cooked muscles: Recommend a repair mask, which not only replenishes moisture for the skin, but also takes into account the supply of collagen and the repair of elastic fibers. You can apply lifting and firming essence before use. After the mask is covered, a closed space is formed on the face, which is more conducive to the penetration of the essence.
Problem muscle: If your skin has obvious problems such as fine lines, dryness and roughness, you should choose essence to accelerate the nutrition and water supply of your skin.
6. Pay attention to the residue after cleaning the mask.
After taking off the mask, wash the residue on your face with clean warm water, then apply a cold towel to your face for a while to promote pore contraction, and finally apply moisturizing cosmetics. Pay attention to the connection steps. Some cleansing or exfoliating masks are likely to cause skin damage if they are not treated carefully in the later stage.
7. Not all masks are suitable for bathing.
If you use a daubing moisturizing mask, you can take a bath at the same time, which is especially beneficial to hydration and absorption. The mask dries easily. If used in the bath, it can avoid strong skin tingling and prevent skin moisture from being sucked back by the mask. It is best to apply the woven mask after taking a hot bath and fully expanding the pores, which is conducive to the full absorption of nutrients.
8, relax, the mask effect will be better.
After the mask is applied to the face, it is forbidden to frown and laugh, and try to avoid talking loudly. Let yourself take care of your skin quietly in a relaxed environment. Some surveys show that a comfortable environment and a relaxed mood are conducive to the absorption of skin care products.
Through the study of this paper, we know the best time to apply the mask, and also learn the precautions of applying the mask. Let's go, ladies!
2, the misunderstanding of mask application
Mistake 1: the mask should be applied every day.
Mask is a big meal in skin care products. Although the effect is good, you can't use it every day unless you have special requirements. Some masks have clearly marked cycles, such as a course of treatment every 5 days, or 10 with 3 tablets per day. If you want to achieve the best effect, you must strictly abide by it. If it is used continuously for a long time, 1 ~ 2 times a week is enough. Otherwise, no matter how good the food is, you will feel full if you eat too much! Of course, if it is an emergency under special circumstances, you can use it at any time. Using cleansing mask every day will cause skin sensitivity, even redness and swelling, which will make immature keratin lose its ability to resist foreign invasion; Moisturizing mask is easy to grow acne every day; The hydrating mask can be used every day in dry season.
Mistake 2: Apply a mask when taking a bath.
It is really a clever way to apply a mask when taking a bath, but it depends on the mask you choose. Wet film is recommended, but tear film and jelly film are not recommended. Because water vapor will make it difficult for the mask to fit closely with the skin, if it is a mask that needs to be thoroughly dried, water vapor will affect the effect of the mask. In addition to facial mask, facial massage cream, which is popular in the beauty industry now, is also very suitable for bathing, which can help soften keratin by steam during bathing. Mask is the "tonic" of skin, which can provide energy that basic skin care products can't provide, and stimulate the maximum vitality of skin in a short time. However, the more masks you use, the better. How to apply the mask is very particular.
Mistake 3: No special eye mask is needed.
The thickness of eye skin is only 1/4 of that of normal skin, which requires more special care. Many facial masks, especially clean and moist facial masks, contain ingredients that will cause irritation to weak eyes and should be used around the eyes. Therefore, if you want to strengthen the care of eye skin, the use of eye mask is still necessary. Especially when the skin around the eyes is short of water and nutrition, intensive maintenance is effective. In fact, the eye mask should be used at least twice a week, and the best eye protection effect can be achieved with eye cream.
Mistake 4: Put a mask on your neck.
The neck skin that can't be ignored is the easiest to expose the age, but when attending important occasions, we often wear bare-necked dresses. Therefore, a few days before makeup, you must start neck care before makeup. Make a moisturizing neck mask 1 week in advance to let the neck skin drink enough water; Apply the cervical membrane again about 0/5 minutes before formal makeup, which can quickly fade pigmentation and even the skin color of the neck; Then apply moisturizing cream to your neck, so you can put on makeup.
Mistake 5: Never waste the essence in the mask.
It is good to have a sense of saving, but it should be used in the right place! The time of applying the mask is "overspent", which will cause the skin to lose moisture and nutrition. Therefore, in addition to using according to the instructions, you can also make an approximate use time estimation according to different masks: if the water content is moderate, take it off after about 15 minutes to prevent the mask from absorbing skin moisture after drying; If the water content is high, it can be unloaded for a period of time, at most 30 minutes. If you really can't bear to part with the essence inside, it is also good to use it to wipe other parts of your body.
Mistake 6: Be sure to exfoliate before making a mask.
It is necessary to keep your skin clean before making a mask, but it is not necessary to exfoliate every time. The stratum corneum is the natural barrier of the skin, which can prevent the skin from losing water and neutralize the pH value. The metabolic cycle of stratum corneum is 28 days, that is, a part of dead cells are metabolized every 28 days, so you can exfoliate at most 1 month. Too frequent exfoliation will damage the stratum corneum. In addition, sensitive skin does not need to be exfoliated frequently.
Mistake 7: Long-term DIY mask
Many MMs see TV magazines promoting their DIY masks, which are creative, but their help to our skin is really limited. Maybe they felt some effects just after finishing, but the skin returned to its original appearance the next day. The reason is that the ingredients of these homemade masks are all natural, but they have not been treated with some technology. Generally speaking, molecules are too big to be absorbed by the skin, so although they are interesting and save money, they have no effect. If you are smart, you should think it over.
Mistake 8: Cleansing mask for oily skin.
Mm mask for oily skin is very important. You can choose three masks: oil control mask, deep cleansing mask and moisturizing mask. Because in the dry season, the skin will be dehydrated, oily and dry. With this program, you can make an oil control and moisturizing mask on one day of the week and a deep cleansing and moisturizing mask every other week.
Mistake 9: The mask should not be too thick.
Do you need a thick mask? Yes! When a thick mask is applied to the face, the skin temperature will rise, which will promote blood circulation and make the infiltrated nutrients better spread between cells. The water that can't evaporate on the skin surface will stay in the epidermis, making the skin smooth and firm. The warm effect will also soften the keratin, expand the pores, and let the dirt accumulated inside take the opportunity to discharge.
Error 10: Never use a tear mask.
Tear-off mask is the full contact and adhesion between the mask and the skin. When the mask is torn off from the skin, the blackheads, aged keratin and grease on the skin will be "peeled off". The cleaning ability is the strongest, but it is also the most harmful to the skin. Improper use may lead to loose skin, large pores and skin allergies.
