What should men pay attention to when using facial mask
1. Confirm whether you are a sensitive muscle
Before using any facial mask, men should confirm whether they are sensitive skin, because facial mask usually contains a lot of essence. If the facial mask is used on the face and the skin feels itchy, it should be stopped immediately. There is also a simple way to test whether you are sensitive skin. First, apply a small amount of facial mask on the skin on the inside of the elbow. If there is no allergic reaction 20 minutes later, your facial skin can use this facial mask. In addition, it should be noted that if the facial mask is not for the eye area or acne, it should be used away from the eye area and the acne and inflammation areas.
2. Facial mask cannot be stored in the bathroom
Bottled facial mask should not be stored in the bathroom. If the bottle cap is not tightened after use, it is easy to affect the quality of facial mask. At the same time, when using bottled facial mask, it is better to dig it out with natural wooden tools, and the extra facial mask cannot be put back into the bottle to avoid bacteria breeding.
3. Clean after facial mask
After applying the facial mask, it is best to wash off the remaining essence of the facial mask or wipe it with a paper towel. Many men think that after taking off the paper film, there is still a lot of residual essence left on the face. It's too pity to wash it off, so it's like wiping face cream, just like massaging, you can go to sleep directly. But skin experts tell us that any facial mask must be washed after application. This is because the role of the facial mask is to isolate the air and directly infiltrate essence into the skin, but our skin's absorption of nutrition is limited. The facial mask has been applied for 15-20 minutes, and the nutrition of the facial skin has been saturated. The remaining essence can no longer be absorbed, so it is invalid.
If you don't wash off the essence on your face, you can directly apply face cream, which will make your face unable to absorb these skin care products. Therefore, it is advisable to wash the remaining facial mask essence with clean water, or dry the essence with a paper towel, and then apply skin care products.
4. About Mud facial mask
Many men like to use mud type cleaning facial mask, and think that deep cleaning can effectively clean deep grease. In fact, in the dry season, men had better choose moisturizing facial mask. Because skin is too dry, it will automatically secrete too much oil to improve dryness, so even oily skin should be hydrated and moisturized. Especially in dry seasons such as spring and autumn. Even in hot summer, the deep cleaning facial mask should not be used more than three times a week.
5. Non woven fabric type facial mask
Non woven facial mask mainly relies on essence to nourish facial skin. It should be noted that the use time of this facial mask must be controlled within 15 to 20 minutes. If the time is too long, the facial mask itself will suck back the moisture of the face itself, which will be more dry. In addition, after using this facial mask, men should clean the excess essence with clean water, because the skin absorbs essence in a certain amount, and too much essence will only clog pores.
6. It is more effective to use facial mask when moisturizing
Many people use facial mask when their face is dry. In fact, before using facial mask, the face is best moist. Because the facial pores are in a relaxed state, the facial mask essence can be better absorbed by the skin. On the contrary, the face is too dry and the pores are closed, so the essence liquid cannot be absorbed.
7. Facial mask ≠ face cream
After using moisturizing facial mask, be sure to use face cream to lock essence and moisture. The role of the facial mask is to help the skin absorb moisture and nutrition, which has no effect on water locking and moisturizing. Therefore, after using the facial mask, clean off the excess essence with water, and then use the face cream to lock the essence and water, so that the face can be moisturized and dried for a long time.
Mistakes of men using facial mask
Myth 1: facial mask should be applied every day
Facial mask is a nutrient for skin. Although it works well, in principle, it cannot be used every day unless there are special requirements. Some facial mask have clearly marked cycles, such as a course of treatment every 5 days, or 3 tablets every 10 days. If you use a facial mask for a long time, it is better to use it 1-2 times a week. If you want to achieve the best results, you should strictly abide by it. In the current season, people are mostly in air-conditioned rooms, and some water replenishing facial mask can be used in dry environments.
Myth 2: facial mask is used as eye mask
The thickness of eye skin is only 1/4 of normal skin, so it needs more special care. Many facial mask, especially those for cleaning and moisturizing, have ingredients that can irritate the weak skin around the eyes, so avoid using them around the eyes.
Therefore, if you want to strengthen the special care of the eyes, the use of eye masks is necessary. Especially when there is a large amount of water and nutrition deficiency in the skin around the eyes, the effect is ideal. For the use of eye film, at least twice a week, in conjunction with eye cream, can achieve the best eye protection effect.
Myth 3: Never waste essence in facial mask
The time of applying facial mask is "excessive", which will lead to skin dehydration and nutrient loss. Generally, the facial mask can be removed after being applied for about 15 minutes to prevent the facial mask from absorbing moisture from the skin after drying. If there is still a lot of essence liquid in the facial mask after use, you can also use it to wipe other parts of the body without wasting it.
Myth 4: Long term use of DIY facial mask
The DIY facial mask that many girls love is also useful for men. However, in essence, it is very limited to help our skin. It may be that when we first finished, we felt some effect, but the skin texture returned to its original appearance the next day. In fact, the reason is that these facial mask ingredients are very natural, but have not undergone some scientific and technological treatment. Generally speaking, the molecules are too large to be absorbed by the skin. So although it's fun and saves money, it doesn't have much effect.
The facial mask has a rapid effect and can effectively promote the absorption of nutrients by the skin. It is no different for men and women to use it to protect their skin. Therefore, men should not worry too much about using facial mask, as long as the method is correct.
