Masking is an extremely important step in skin care. However, you know, on average 5 people have 3 people self-damaging their skin just because they use the mask the wrong way. Most people make five basic mistakes:

1. Don’t choose the mask that suits your skin type

Oily skin, dry skin, combination skin, … each type has its own characteristics. Not to mention, depending on the skin condition: skin acne, skin pigmentation, skin irritation, …, you need different notes in the selection mask.

If you have oily skin, keep away from almond oil masks. However, this oil is the perfect nutrient for your dry skin. Mud mask is quite suitable for oily skin due to its ability to control sebum and tighten pores, but it is not very close to dry skin or skin irritation as they dry, it is easy to suck out a little moisture on the surface of the skin.

2. Put the mask on too many times

Applying facial masks too many times a day is very hypoallergenic and causes the young epidermis to lose its resistance. You should wear masks no more than 2 times a week. Before applying facial scrub or facial mask, you should also note that you need to clean your face with cleanser. After applying masks, use toner or moisturizer to help soothe the skin, keeping the moisture needed for your skin.

3. Apply mask too thick or too thin

If you wear too much mask, you are wasting your product, and the mask stays on for a long time until the mask dries up on your face can cause clogged pores. However, if you mask too thin, you accidentally disable the nutrients in the mask because the mask is not enough to provide the substance needed for the skin. Ideally, you should apply a layer just enough to cover the surface of the skin, avoid to put the mask on like how you do with moisturizer.

4. Keep the mask on the face not in time

Some people mistakenly think the longer the mask on the skin, the more effective. However, the mask on the skin for a long time is what you should follow two factors: the mask (ingredients used in the mask) and the skin type (skin condition) of you.

If it is a mask of sleep, of course you can rest assured to mask on the skin overnight. For exfoliating mask, 15 – 20 minutes is the ideal time. Moisture mask can last longer, from 20 to 25 minutes. Similarly, with sensitive skin, you should only mask on the skin for 10 – 15 minutes. If your skin is normal, this period may be longer than 5-10 minutes. Be sure to read the instructions on the mask carefully and carefully consider your skin.

5. Apply face wash after applying mask

If you use facial cleanser after mask, then there is a good advice for you: Do not wear mask anymore because you just waste it. Cleanser will remove all the nutrients that your skin has got a lot of effort to absorb. Even if it is a mask of exfoliation, you should not use the facial cleanser after “masking” because it will make the skin more susceptible to wear and thin.

In addition, you should also note the use of warm water to wash your face after applying masks. Hot water can cause burns and dry skin while cold water clogs the pores. The ideal temperature is from 40 to 45 degrees centigrade. You can use the wrist to test the heat of water because this is a thin and sensitive skin, you will feel the temperature of water on the surface of the correct. than.
