It would seem, what could be easier than applying a fabric mask and waiting for the skin to brighten? Actually this is not enough. In order to see the effect, the mask must be used correctly.
Mistake #1: Applying a mask to uncleaned facial skin
-
Sheet Mask for Radiance on Me by Golden Apple, 130 rub. -
Face mask with vitamin C, Rodial, RUR 1.770.
Be sure to follow a cleansing step before applying a sheet mask to your skin. You can simply use a cleanser or additionally exfoliate to increase the effectiveness of the active mask formula.
Mistake #2: Leaving the mask on for too long
-
Fabric express mask made of microalgae Minéral 89, Vichy, 450 rub. -
Moisturizing fabric face mask Ohave, 1500 rub.
The optimal exposure time for a fabric mask is always stated on the packaging. Usually this is 15-20 minutes. If you leave the mask on the skin for longer than this period, it may cause the opposite effect; It begins to draw moisture from the skin. Therefore, the best way to avoid missing the moment when the mask is done is to set a timer.
Mistake #3: Using a mask every day
-
Holika Holika face mask, 100 rubs. -
Shine mask with Citrus Frudia, 160 rub.
A fabric mask is an addition to basic care and, by the way, is not always necessary. A sheet mask can quickly add shine, soothe redness, and hydrate skin. However, manufacturers always write that the mask is not suitable for daily use. Excessive skin care, like inadequate skin care, also has negative consequences.
Mistake #4: Using a mask on the go
-
Fabric face mask Cafe Mimi, 100 rub. -
Fabric mask “Nutrition Bomb” Garnier, RUR 195.
I put on a mask and sat at the computer – familiar story? This method is not entirely correct: the mask is better to lie horizontally on your face, otherwise it will pull the skin down.
Mistake #5: Reusing the mask
-
Mask with collagen and snail mucin “Nutrition and Moisturizing” Matsesta, 200 rub. -
Moisturizing masks “Sea Spa” Professor Skingood, 380 rub.
A sheet mask (even the most expensive one) can only be used once. It absorbs bacteria and microorganisms on the face after the first application, so repeated use may negatively affect the skin and cause inflammation.
