After the application of a facial mask, you will feel your skin nourished, moisturized and supple. This miracle effect of a facial mask lies on the instant effects by supplying huge amounts of nutrients to skin in a short period of time. But, such instant effect is not going to last for a long time because of nutrient loss. In order to prevent the nutrient loss, application of other skincare products immediately is essential.
There are many different facial masks in different brands available. The prices of these facial masks vary a lot from several dollars to a hundred dollars per piece. There is no guarantee for better effect for the expensive ones. But, it is not recommended for the cheapest ones. The fibers and essences in the cheap facial masks are of very low quality and may irritate your skin.
The absorbency of essence contained in the facial masks is one of the most important factors to determine if the masks are of good quality. Even though many skincare brands claim that their products contain 20 to 30 ml of essence, it does not mean that the products are of good quality. To test the absorbency, you may squeeze the masks (after application) to see the amount of essence remained unabsorbed.
There are many different types of facial masks including paper facial masks and cream masks. The efficacy of a facial mask does not depend significantly on its texture but its functions. In general, facial mask in cream texture is more recommended for oily and mature skin because they have higher adhesive power. Paper facial masks are more recommended for dry skin as they have better moisturizing power.
If your skin is sensitive, you are not recommended to facial masks very often, especially when your skin is under irritated or allergic conditions. Applying masks (even soothing masks) when your skin is irritated may lead to more serious irritation. For normal skincare, you may choose gel masks. Gel mask are of better soothing power compared to masks of other texture. Or, you may simply DIY your own masks with thermal spring water and cotton pads.
There are some masks that do not require rinsing after application. Some people think it is better to rinse for different reasons. In fact, these masks do not contain a huge amount of nutrients and their textures are usually lighter. If you wash off these masks after application, majority of the nutrients may be removed. Therefore, there is no need to rinse after application.
