Facial Mask Tips:

Regardless of the type of mask, do not leave it on for too long—usually 10-15 minutes is sufficient for the skin to absorb the nutrients.

Leaving it on too long or until it dries out can strip moisture from the skin and hinder proper breathing, damaging the skin.

Correct Steps for Applying Facial Masks:

1. Cleanse the skin thoroughly.
2. Prep the skin with toner or serum after cleansing to enhance absorption.
3. Apply the mask evenly, ensuring there are no air bubbles. It's best to lie down for even distribution.
4. Use any excess serum on the neck, hands, etc. Do not waste it. Leave the mask on for 15 minutes.
5. Remove the mask from bottom to top to prevent moisture loss. Rinse off any residue.
6. Follow up with regular skincare products to lock in the nutrients.

Common Misconceptions about Facial Masks:

1. Avoid using your phone while wearing a mask as radiation can diminish its effectiveness.
2. Always lie down while wearing a mask to allow for better and more even absorption of the essence.
3. Keep the duration within 15 minutes; longer durations can dry out the skin.
4. Cleanse the skin after removing the mask to prevent acne and ensure better absorption of subsequent skincare products.
5. Moisture from masks is temporary; follow-up skincare is essential for long-lasting hydration.

Precautions for Applying Facial Masks:

1. Use a warm compress before applying to open pores for better absorption.
2. Always lie down to allow the mask to adhere closely to the skin, enhancing nutrient absorption.
3. Strictly control the duration of use; never leave a mask on until it dries out.
4. Use the warmth of your hands to promote absorption after removing the mask.
5. Avoid excessive facial movements while wearing a mask to ensure even coverage and absorption.
