Classification of five kinds of masks:
1. Mud Mask
Mud paste mask can not only effectively clean the skin, but also has a good moisturizing effect, which can effectively soften the hardened sebum blocked in pores. After the mud paste cleaning mask is applied to the face, blackheads and acne on the face are easily squeezed out, especially dry skin that is not suitable for steam. Mud paste mask without special oil absorption ingredients is suitable for moderate, dry and oily skin. But for oily skin, the best effect is to choose kaolin (also called porcelain clay) or a mask with more oil-absorbing ingredients.
Although the mud paste mask has a good cleaning effect, the product contains high preservatives to prevent bacteria from breeding in wet mud paste, and the ingredients contain various minerals, so it should be used with caution for sensitive skin.
2. Tear-off mask
The cleaning principle of peeling mask is the same as that of mud paste mask, and it also promotes blood circulation and metabolism by raising the temperature of epidermis. The main components are polymer glue, water and alcohol, with few other components. Because the use process of peeling mask can not be completed until the mask is dry, no humectant can be added to the ingredients, which is not suitable for dry skin, and because of peeling, sensitive skin is not suitable.
The peeling sequence should be from top to bottom, especially avoiding the skin around the eyes, eyebrows, hairline and lips to prevent skin damage during peeling.
3. Gel mask
If the alkaline agent and surfactant in the gel cleaning mask are removed, and some maintenance ingredients are added, it becomes a gel cleaning mask. This kind of mask can be simply divided into transparent and opaque. Transparent gel maintenance mask can only add water-soluble skin care ingredients, so it is more suitable for oily skin. Opaque jelly mask can add more ingredients, and dry skin can also be used.
The coating should have a certain thickness. The thickness of the mask is exquisite, not a thin layer, so the pores must be covered so that the components of the mask can play a better role.
4. Cream mask
Some manufacturers make creams thicker and introduce them in the form of masks. In principle, there is no problem, but in terms of skin care effect, the effect of cream-based maintenance mask is not much different from that of ordinary night cream. The texture of cream mask is similar to that of skin cream, and most masks with whitening, moisturizing and soothing effects belong to this category. It is also very convenient to use, just wipe it with a paper towel after application.
Due to its mild texture, the cream mask has a wide range of applications, and sensitive skin can be safely used.
5. Cotton care mask
Cotton care mask is the latest trend in modern times. The cotton mask is to absorb the prepared high-concentration maintenance essence on cotton (paper), and tear off the package and apply it to the face when using it. The main advantages of cotton facial mask are that the ingredients are easy to control, and various nutrients can be added, which greatly improves the penetration amount and depth of skin care effective ingredients in mechanism, can quickly and effectively change the skin moisture content, is very convenient to use, and avoids problems such as cleaning and preservatives after use. However, this mask has no cleaning effect and is not suitable for people who need deep cleaning. The correct way to use the mask: 1, clean your face first or apply the mask first.
Cleansing first, of course. Open pores with warm water, discharge sebum and dirt, and make the nutrients in the mask more easily absorbed by the skin.
2. Mask and Toner
When the skin is dry or the climate is dry, you can take toner first; Cleaning mask needs to be cleaned after use, and should be applied in front of toner and toner; Moisturizing mask is applied after toner and toner; The cotton pad mask is used after toning and before moisturizing, and usually does not need to be cleaned after use.
3. Do you want a thick coat?
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 full of water smooth and firm. Warmth will also soften cutin, dilate capillaries, and let the accumulated sweat and dirt be taken away by opportunities.
4. Can I use the mask every day?
Daily use of cleansing mask will cause skin sensitivity and even redness, making immature keratin lose its ability to resist foreign invasion; Moisturizing mask is easy to cause acne; The hydrating mask can be used every day in dry season.
5. There is a tingling sensation when applying the mask.
A slight one-time tingling is normal. The mask containing hydrating ingredients will sting when used in the state of extreme water shortage on the face. Simple test method: first apply a small amount of mask to the skin inside the elbow, and then apply it to the face if there is no allergic reaction after 20 minutes.
6. Can I use no cream after using the mask?
Mask is a periodic care product, which aims to supplement deep nutrition for the skin. But if there is no surface water lock and nourishment, it is easy to lose what you get from the mask, so you must apply skin care products as usual after applying the mask.
7. The longer the mask is applied, the better.
Time overruns can lead to dehydration and malnutrition of the skin. In addition to following the instructions, you can also make a rough estimate according to different masks: if the water content is moderate, you can take it off in about 15 minutes to avoid absorbing skin moisture after the mask is dried; If the water content is high, it can be removed for a period of time, at most 30 minutes. In addition, several functional classifications are introduced: the mask has too many benefits to the skin, such as moisturizing the skin, removing dirt from the skin and promoting blood circulation.
