Preparing the Skin
- Wash the Face. Before wearing a mask, cleanse the skin thoroughly. Use warm water and your favorite facial cleanser to clean up the makeup, dirt, and oil. Do not wear a moisturizer.
- Exfoliate the Skin. Exfoliation can help to lift the dead skin cells and make masks better absorb. You can use face rubbing material which can be bought at the store or you can mix a bit of coffee or sugar into a facial cleanser. Apply those mix materials to the wet skin, gently rub, and then rinse with warm water.
- Open the Pores of the Face. Masks will be effective if the facial pores open before you wear the face mask. The easiest way is to shower with hot water before using a mask. Alternatively, you can use a towel that soaked in hot water then cover the face with a towel until the towel cools or steam face in front of hot water for 1-2 minutes.
Applying Face Mask
- Apply Mask. Wear the mask over the face using a paintbrush evenly and smoothly. If you do not have a brush, make sure your hands are clean before applying a mask. Do not apply it too close to the eyes or the mouth and do not forget to apply the mask to the neck.
- Set the Timer and Wait. The length of applying mask is varies depending on the type of mask used and the skin type. Generally, 15 minutes is the average usage time for most masks. If you use a clay mask, do not wait until the clay dries. Clean the mask when the clay is still slightly wet. If you are using a packing mask, read the instructions to find out the duration of use.
- Clean the Mask. After the set time, use warm water and a towel to clean the mask gently. Clean the mask from around the hairline on the forehead and under the chin.
- Apply Toner and Moisturizer Afterwards. Use a cotton ball to apply toner to face and neck. Toner will shrink the pores and lock all the benefits of masks in the skin layer. Last, apply a little of your favorite moisturizer and do not use too much moisturizer because it will clog the pores.
