They are also growing in popularity in the UK, with data from the NPD group highlighting sales sky rocking in previous years, while this has only sped up as time has gone on.
Why does my face tingle while using a face mask?
While some people might have a reaction, the most common reason is to do with the toxins and impurities being removed from the skin. When you think about the point of a face mask, it is to remove and purge these impurities from the skin. While they will diminish and reduce as you build this in to your routine, on the first time you may have a ‘breakout’ as the impurities are pushed out from the skin.
How do I apply the face mask properly?
Start from the top part of your neck and rub the cream in using an upward motion. You want it all to be equal on your skin. Be careful to avoid certain areas such as your eyes and your mouth. Some prefer to use their hands, while others use brush, no one way is right. After that, it is time to sit and wait.
Should I avoid the sun after using a face mask?
You don’t need to fear facing the sun if you have applied a face mask. However, we always recommend protecting your skin from the sun, as this is one of the biggest factors in aging skin, therefore make sure to use a decent sun cream.
Do I put on moisturiser after a face mask?
Yes, once you have washed the face mask off, add a moisturiser to your face, in order to hydrate the skin. You may actually want to try steaming the face before you add the moisturiser, so it can get to the deepest layers of the skin efficiently.
Do face masks expire?
All reputable face masks should have a date on them. It should be remembered that some actually have a manufacturing date rather than an expiry date, which can sometimes add confusion (especially with products created in Korea).
Face masks will also go off quicker once they have been opened. Try to make sure the lid is on firmly, so no air can get to it.
