TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Facial mask is an important part of skincare series that must be used to maintain facial beauty. Various facial masks have so many benefits, such as eliminating acne, moisturizing dry skin, reducing excess face oil, fading black stains, and so on.
However, several mistakes while you are applying facial mask may make your face quickly aging. Check out these five mistakes you might do unintentionally:
1. Wearing facial mask for a long time
In the packaging, there are instructions to use the masks including for how long you have to wear it before it has to be cleaned up. This rule should be followed because the face problems you get will not be solved by the length of time you wear the mask. Even the mask has side effects and its benefits contained will not be obtained optimally.
For example, when you have acne, you should avoid using a mask in a long time since the natural moisture in your facial skin will be reduced and even make the face more susceptible to acne.
2. The mask is not suitable for your skin
Like any other skin care products in general, you should know the needs of your facial skin before buying a face mask. For some people, trying different types of masks will not show a significant effect and even they have to deal with new skin problems just because they like to try and apply different masks.
3. Using facial mask before exfoliating skin
The third cause that makes your face getting older is because you not do skin exfoliating process before applying the mask. For those who like to use a mask with a cream formula, you better exfoliate the skin before applying the mask since a mask with a cream formula cannot be functioned as an exfoliator as well.
Exfoliating skin is needed to remove dead skin cells and dirt on the face, thus it makes the face easily absorb the benefits contained in the mask more.
4. Too thick layering a clay or charcoal mask
Layering clay and charcoal mask too thick on your face can remove natural oils from the skin and make skin drier or even peeled. Basically, clay and charcoal masks are made to detox the skin and balance the oil production of the facial skin.
5. Did not check metallic content in the mask
Checking the metallic content in a gold or silver mask is a must as it contains hyaluronic acid. For some people, even though the alcohol is very good for the skin - especially to avoid signs of premature aging, it can make skin drier, especially for those who have sensitive skin.
