Tips & Tricks

Cleanse your face

Before applying a face mask, make sure your skin is clean and free of makeup, dirt, and oil. This helps the mask penetrate better and maximize its benefits.

Exfoliate beforehand

Consider exfoliating your skin gently before applying a face mask. This helps to remove dead skin cells, allowing the mask’s ingredients to penetrate deeper and work more effectively.

Patch test

If you’re using a new face mask for the first time, it’s a good idea to do a patch test on a small area of your skin to check for any potential irritation or allergic reactions.

Apply to damp skin

For certain masks, such as hydrating or sheet masks, applying them to slightly damp skin can help lock in moisture and improve absorption.

Use the appropriate amount

Follow the instructions provided with the mask to determine the right amount to apply. Applying too little may not provide sufficient benefits, while applying too much can lead to wastage and potential skin irritation.

Avoid sensitive areas

Be mindful to avoid applying masks too close to the eyes, lips, and sensitive areas of the face to prevent discomfort or irritation.

Relax and take your time

Take this opportunity to unwind and enjoy some self-care while your mask works its magic. Listen to calming music, read a book, or simply take a few moments to relax.

Follow recommended time

Pay attention to the recommended duration for leaving the mask on your face. Leaving it on for too long can potentially dry out or irritate your skin, while removing it too soon may not allow the ingredients to fully work.

Remove gently

When it’s time to remove the mask, use lukewarm water and gentle circular motions to massage it off. Avoid harsh rubbing or pulling that could irritate your skin.
