How to make face masks? Is it possible to alternate between different products and how to use them correctly?

How many times can you use cloth masks during the day?

Garnier dermatologist expert Marina Kamanina does not recommend using sheet masks twice a day.
We also remind you that a fabric mask cannot replace basic care - day and night cream, at least on an ongoing basis.

Marina Kamanina Expert dermatologist L'Oréal Paris

“Fabric masks, instead of day or night care, can be used only in the summer, in hot times, when there is no special need to nourish the skin, but there is a need for effective moisturizing. During the cold season, masks must be supplemented with creams for nutrition and restoration.”

Why you can’t reuse a disposable mask

A sheet mask is a disposable product; it is no coincidence that it is packaged in individual packaging. After opening the package, the product should be used immediately and discarded after use. You cannot use the same mask twice.

We all know that there is always a fair amount of concentrate left in the package, which would be enough for two sessions. Do you feel bad about throwing it away? We understand you perfectly, but we can’t recommend hiding the mask in the refrigerator until next time. The only thing you can do so as not to waste the goodness is to apply the remainder to your arms, neck, and décolleté. We are sure that you do this, but you will have to get rid of the used woven base.

Are there reusable face masks?

Reusable masks include masks made of silicone; they operate on the same principle as fabric ones, that is, they create an occlusive effect, but there is no impregnation. This “dry” mask can be used with any serum, concentrate, or cream mask of your choice. Then the silicone mask is thoroughly washed, dried and stored until required.

Immediately after use, throw away the fabric mask.

How to use sheet masks

Fabric masks soaked in a beneficial composition are applied to the face. If you prepare the product yourself, you should first do a test for an allergic reaction.

To do this, a small amount of the composition for impregnating the fabric is spread on the skin, on the back of the ear or on the inside of the elbow, and left for 15 minutes. If there is no itching, pain, or inflammatory rash, then the mask is harmless and you can use it.

Store-bought products should be used before the expiration date. It is important to strictly follow the recommendations indicated in the instructions on the package, otherwise there will be no positive effect.

The fabric is applied so that its entire surface is in contact with the face: there should be no air-filled voids between the skin and the mask. Do not exceed the time recommended in the instructions for keeping the fabric on the face: the dried material begins to absorb moisture from the epidermis.

Do not use masks if there are inflammatory formations, wounds, or irritation on the face.

How to apply a gold face mask: instructions

Golden mask
Today there is a very large selection of facial care products on the market and the question often arises of how to apply a golden mask to the face. By the way, among the products offered there are also Korean ones. So, the gold mask itself is like a very thin foil that is applied to the surface of the face. When the product acts on the skin, gold ions begin to be released. They make blood circulate better through the vessels. Accordingly, nutrients penetrate the skin as deeply as possible. It is also saturated with oxygen, and the cells regenerate.

There are disposable and reusable gold masks. The latter are much more expensive, but they can be used up to 60 times. If the disposable mask cracks, you will have to remove pieces of foil. Well, reusable ones are much easier to remove.
There are also alginate masks that are available in powder form. In this case, you first need to dissolve them. Thanks to such products, the skin is maximally moisturized and various types of inflammation go away.
The package usually includes two sachets. The gel is placed in one, and the powder in the second. To dilute, place everything in one bowl and mix thoroughly. You should get a thick mixture. By the way, the package sometimes includes a stirring spatula. They are great for applying mass to the face. You just need to do everything quickly, because the composition hardens quickly.
By the way, gold masks can be used for the skin around the eyes and lips. Leave the mask on for about 20 minutes. It should start to dry out, and then it is removed. After completing the procedure, you should not refuse to use serum or nourishing cream.

How to use a sheet mask

According to the instructions, either cool the product in the refrigerator or heat it up.
Wash using gel or foam.
Steam your face. Carry out intensive cleaning.
Remove the material from the bag. Apply to face and smooth until air bubbles disappear.
Keep for the time specified in the instructions.
Unfasten the fabric from the face.
Apply cream.

How long to keep

Do not keep the cloth on your face for more than 20 minutes. During this time, the epidermis will absorb a sufficient amount of nutrients, and the material will not have time to dry.

Application rules

For combination skin, it is best to do multi-masking, that is, apply a separate mask to each area according to your skin type. The packaging indicates how to use the face mask. But there are 5 basic rules for application:

Prepare the skin for the procedure. For a more pronounced effect, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the top layer of skin from surface contaminants. The cleansing stage depends on the products available. Micellar water is a good cleanser. It is suitable for those with sensitive skin. If you didn’t have any makeup on your face on the day of the procedure, micellar water will completely cope with surface impurities. If you have applied makeup, it is better to use foam/mousse/milk to wash your face and then remove the residue with micellar water. A good way to prepare for skincare procedures is a special gel that loosens the stratum corneum of the epidermis. The stratum corneum performs primarily a barrier function, which means it will be difficult for the components of cosmetic products to penetrate through it without additional softening and removal. This gel is sold in specialized stores and on websites for cosmetologists. A simple scrub can be an analogue of a loosening gel. Immediately before applying the mask, you should not use a scrub with large particles. Some of its components can cause a burning sensation. Steaming is also a good way to prepare your skin.
Apply along massage lines. If you don’t know how the massage lines are located, apply from the center of the face to the periphery. But it’s better to study their location once so as not to subject the facial muscles to additional stretching.
Use homemade masks immediately. The fact is that self-prepared homemade mixtures do not contain preservatives. This means they cannot be stored for long. When mixed, the components react with each other and the air. Even after a day, the homemade mixture can cause an allergic reaction.
Rest after application. Self-care procedures should be primarily relaxing. What is the point of these actions if you have to continue household chores and worries. The facial muscles should be relaxed and calm. Rest can be ensured by taking a horizontal position.
Wash off the mask correctly. The ease of removing a mask depends on its type and texture after drying. If the mask is not film, then it is most convenient to remove it with a fiber sponge, periodically washing off the dirt with warm running water. The disadvantage of such sponges is their fragility. Ideally, the sponge should be changed after each use. After completely removing any remaining mask, pat your face dry with a clean, dry towel. It is convenient to use disposable paper towels.

Those who love themselves and know how to take care of themselves and their bodies know that face masks (both store-bought and homemade) can make the skin smooth, fresh and radiant. It is almost impossible to achieve such an effect with cream alone. However, even such a seemingly simple procedure as a face mask has many nuances and subtleties. And today the women's site owoman.ru offers you many secrets that will help you achieve the most effective results when using face masks. So, which face mask is better to choose: a homemade mask or a store-bought one? If you choose a homemade mask, what time of day is best to make it? How to apply a face mask, and what is the best way to wash it off? And what can you do with a face mask if it doesn't suit you? Do we need a face mask, or is cream enough? Many modern women do not consider it necessary to use face masks, believing that applying cream will help keep their facial skin at its proper level for a long time. However, this approach is fundamentally wrong. Moreover, there are certain skin care programs that involve the use of only face masks, proper cleansing of the skin and moisturizing the skin with thermal water. There is no need to use cream. Face masks are one of the most powerful and effective anti-aging remedies. It is not without reason that beauty salons offer masks for the skin as firming, moisturizing, and rejuvenating products. The thing is that a face mask contains much more active substances, it is better absorbed, and, in addition, it brings a more noticeable effect than that brought by the daily use of creams. While you are young, you can easily do without a face mask, but after thirty, a mask should be a mandatory ritual for you, which must be performed 2-3 times a week. Which face mask should you choose? There are two types of face masks - masks that we prepare ourselves (homemade face masks) and purchased masks. Of course, we are talking about those masks that do not require the services of beauty salons, that is, those that we can apply ourselves. So, purchased masks are masks that we, accordingly, buy, and then take out from tubes, boxes, jars and apply to the face. We make homemade masks ourselves - we mix them from various ingredients. Which mask to choose, you ask. In order to answer this question, we will tell you in more detail about each of these types of paints. Most often, the choice is determined by the availability of free time. That is, if you are short on time, the choice is obvious - let’s go buy a face mask in the store. However, if you are short on time, you should remember that you should not use a mask that you have never tried before. The effect may not meet your expectations (and this is to put it mildly). If time allows, you should calmly evaluate all the advantages and disadvantages of purchased masks. Usually, expensive store-bought masks contain many very effective components that simply cannot be present in homemade masks. Especially if you purchased a professional face mask. But in addition to their advantages, purchased masks also have disadvantages: The mask you purchased in a store (or pharmacy) may simply not suit you. You may experience skin reactions such as allergies, irritation, dryness or excessive oiliness of the skin. Or it may have no effect at all - just wasted money. In addition, any purchased mask contains preservatives that end up on your skin along with beneficial components. That is, along with useful substances, we “feed the skin” with preservatives. And this, accordingly, is harmful to the body. In addition to all of the above, store-bought face masks are more likely to cause irritation or allergies than homemade masks. This happens due to the presence of highly effective components and the same preservatives. And due to the fact that each mask contains a fairly large number of ingredients, you may simply not understand what exactly caused the negative reaction. Also, the composition of purchased masks is unchanged; moreover, adding any component to such a mask can be harmful and cause the opposite of the expected effect. There is a possibility that your skin will get used to the mask, at least if you use an effective mask often enough - for example, every day. Homemade masks are not addictive. Homemade face masks Advantages of homemade masks: Firstly, you do not need to spend money (often quite a lot) in order to purchase a mask. You can simply use the products at hand - there is a huge scope for creativity - right? Especially considering the fact that a homemade mask can be made from almost any product. You can mix a mask not only from food, essential oils, clay, but even from spices! Secondly, homemade masks do not contain any preservatives, which means there is no threat to your skin - because you know what exactly you are putting in the mask you are preparing. Thirdly, through experiments you can get to know your skin better - what suits it, or what products you are allergic to. Well, and lastly, every day you can prepare completely different masks, alternate them - there is room for your imagination. Disadvantages of homemade face masks: No matter how simple a mask you plan to prepare, you will still have to spend time on it. Well, besides, like any other product, the mask or one of its components can cause you an allergic reaction. How and when to apply a face mask Not every mask can be useful - it all depends on whether it is made according to all the rules. Consider your skin's biorhythms Even if a face mask is ideal for your skin, even if you have been using it for a while and know that it is beneficial, sometimes such a mask may not have any effect - including if you apply it at the wrong time. Therefore, our site offers you the most optimal mode for applying face masks. So: 8.00-10.00 These two hours are the most optimal time when your skin is ready for any cosmetic procedures and will accept them with pleasure, and you will enjoy the excellent results of these very procedures. 11.00-12.00 This time is most suitable for applying masks that remove excess oil from the skin. 13.00-14.00 The most suitable time for relaxation. During this period, it is better to make a moisturizing mask and go to rest. However, one cannot expect any special results from a mask applied at this time. 15.00-18.00 It is better to devote this period to some other activities than face masks. At this time, your skin simply will not accept any nutrients. 18.00-23.00 The best period for cleansing the skin. You can use not only scrubs at this time, but also cleansing masks. However, any other masks will also be quite effective. 23.00-5.00 If it is during this period that you decide to take care of yourself, you should take a closer look at nourishing masks - at this time they are most effective. Cleanse your skin thoroughly with a scrub. Anyone knows that masks are applied to the face only after it has been completely cleansed! Therefore, before applying the mask, you should cleanse your face with your usual product, and then with a scrub. If you have time and there are no contraindications, you can deep clean your face using a steam bath. How exactly? Very simple. Boil water in a saucepan, to which it is advisable to add some herbs (chamomile or thyme). While the infusion is boiling, you need to wash your face. Then you should turn off the gas and bend over the pan with a large towel over your head. Keep your face over the saucepan for about 5-10 minutes. After this, feel free to clean your face with a scrub and apply a face mask. The effect will exceed all your expectations! Apply the mask to your face correctly. Do not apply the face mask to the area around the eyes, otherwise when it dries, it can cause wrinkles to appear on the thin skin around the eyes. It is better to apply some nourishing cream near the eyes and, accordingly, a mask on the face. You can apply the mask to your face using your fingers and a special brush (usually included with purchased masks). But it should be borne in mind that no matter what the mask is applied to the face, you should not stretch the skin. Many people are interested in the question of what layer to apply the mask - thin or thick. If you purchased a mask in a store, carefully read the instructions and recommendations and follow them. If the mask is homemade, it’s up to you to decide. But the larger the layer, the longer the face mask dries, and therefore works. While the mask is on your face, it is better not to strain your face. No need to talk, eat, etc. Just relax and lie down to rest. After all, grimaces during the procedure can cause wrinkles to appear. Do you need it? How and when to wash off the mask Usually masks are washed off after 15-20 minutes. Remember, your skin only receives nutrients while the face mask dries. If the mask dries out, it’s not a big deal, but you shouldn’t allow the mask to crack—this can again lead to the formation of wrinkles. If there are no other instructions on the package, wash off the mask with water at room temperature - in this case, the pores will narrow. Many women wash off face masks with their hands, but with a sponge you can wash off the mask faster without getting anything dirty. To begin, gently moisten the mask with a sponge, and then simply remove it, being careful not to stretch the skin of your face. Should I apply cream after a face mask? Many of us are so accustomed to constantly “treating” our face with something that when we go to bed without cream, we feel some discomfort. However, you should still let your skin breathe and be perfectly clean - believe me, it won’t get any worse. If your skin feels tight after a mask, this is one of the first “bells” that such a mask is not suitable for you. Take a closer look at this mask. However, if we talk about the cream, then applying it after the mask is welcome. What to do with a face mask that doesn't suit you? If you are using a face mask for the first time, listen carefully to how you feel. If you observe an effect such as tingling, this mask should be washed off immediately. At least if you don't want to walk around with acne. If a face mask causes you allergies or irritation, you should no longer use this mask. You can give a purchased face mask to your mother, sister, or friend - there is a chance that it will suit them. If the mask doesn’t suit you or your friend, it will make a wonderful mask for your feet and hands. Wash your limbs thoroughly, clean them with a scrub, then apply a thick layer of mask. It is better to wear cotton gloves and socks on top (on your hands and feet, respectively). And sleep. You won’t recognize yourself in the morning!

Application rules

A cosmetic morning face mask, as numerous reviews say, can be a real salvation for many women who are not satisfied with the reflection in the mirror, who look tired and lack of sleep. Morning masks can eliminate puffiness under the eyes and make the skin fresh and toned.

Quick mask

This product perfectly removes traces of lack of sleep. Preparing the mask is quite simple. You need to take parsley and chop it, you will need 3 tablespoons in total. Parsley should be brewed with boiling water and left for 60 minutes. Then you need to take 2 tablespoons of oatmeal and mix them with parsley decoction. After the mixture swells, apply it to the skin of the face and leave for 30 minutes. After the wearing time is over, the mask should be washed off with non-hot water.

To make it you need to take a banana and 2 tablespoons of honey. Mix everything to a paste and spread on your face. Leave the mask on for 20 minutes and remove it with wet wipes.

How often to do face masks correctly

Masks are divided into 4 main groups:

Nourishing - saturate the skin with vitamins, macro and microelements necessary for the full implementation of metabolic processes in cells. Such masks should be of the most natural composition; it is better to prepare them at home from products containing large amounts of vitamins and minerals. You should use this cosmetic product 2-3 times a week.

Moisturizing - help provide skin cells with life-giving moisture and maintain the necessary water balance. Suitable for use for any type. Such masks are especially recommended for women with dry skin suffering from flaking. They should apply this product 2 times a week. Other skin types will need such prevention once a week, especially in winter.

Cleansing - cleansing the epidermis is as vital as nutrition and hydration. The skin itself is capable of self-cleansing, but it also needs outside help. You should not overuse cleansing masks; for normal and combination skin, once a week will be enough, for oily skin - a maximum of 2 times a week, and for dry skin, once every 2 weeks is enough.

Also use whitening masks very carefully. If such a face mask does not contain scrubbing components, you can do it every day or every other day

If the mask has a scrub effect, it is not recommended to use it more than once a week.

If the mask contains active natural ingredients, professionals do not recommend using it more than 1-2 times a week. Such masks refresh the skin and tighten pores, so it is best to use them before any important event. In addition, they will help make your makeup perfect and flawless.

Basic rules for using homemade masks

To prepare the mask, purchase only fresh and high-quality ingredients. Be sure to pay attention to the expiration date. Before you start applying the mixture to your face, you need to make sure that you have everything you need at hand.

It is important to keep a cotton pad nearby - this is in case the composition starts to leak. It is important to cleanse the skin before applying the mask. To do this, you can use any soft foam. If you don’t have any cleansing cosmetics on hand, you can prepare a thermal bath - pour boiling water into a small container, cover your head with a towel and hold your face over the steam. It is necessary to distribute the composition along the massage lines, in which case the penetration of beneficial substances will be deeper, therefore, the result will appear faster. Do not apply the mask around the eyes and lips

To care for these areas of the face, it is recommended to mix jojoba and sea buckthorn extracts in equal proportions and apply them with light patting movements on the eyelids. We also recommend using recipes for masks around the eyes that carefully care for the delicate skin in this area of the face. It is necessary to keep the composition for up to half an hour, depending on the composition. After applying the mask, it is advisable not to move, but to take a lying position and not talk. You must be completely at peace. It is best to wash off the composition from the face with warm boiled water. It must be filtered before boiling. You can also use a decoction of medicinal herbs or plain acidified water. If an allergy occurs, you should remove the mask and take an anti-allergenic drug. And of course, as mentioned above, any product should match your skin type.

We looked at how often you can use face masks depending on their type and your skin type, so we strongly recommend that you follow these tips so that using care products at home will only bring benefits.

Is it possible to alternate?

Proper alternation of masks allows you to achieve a comprehensive effect in skin care. But you need to approach this issue wisely:

Those with normal to dry epidermis can use moisturizing and nourishing products once a week. You can also make cleansing masks every 7 to 10 days, alternating them with exfoliating products.
For oily and combination skin, it is worth alternating nourishing products with mattifying, steaming and cleansing products.
For aging skin, alternating rejuvenating and toning masks is allowed. Medicinal products can be used after consultation with a cosmetologist.

When choosing masks for regular use, you should alternate them, taking into account, first of all, the composition. It is important that the skin is not oversaturated with the same substances.

How often can you use the type of mask?

The effect obtained from masks determines the regularity of their application. But cosmetologists do not recommend making face masks too often - this rule applies to both moisturizing and nourishing, and especially whitening or cleansing procedures.

Moisturizing

One of the most popular types of masks is moisturizing. They can prolong youth, restore attractiveness, and relieve discomfort.

Most beauty industry specialists believe that to prevent skin dehydration and maintain the normal state of the hydrolipid mantle, 2 to 3 masks per week are needed. First of all, you need to consider your skin type or condition.

The dermis, dried out by excessive cleansing or the use of low-quality decorative cosmetics, needs intensive, comprehensive care. Moisturizing masks three times a week will help quickly restore her healthy appearance.

Usually a course of 5 to 10 masks is prescribed, after which a minimum 30-day break is required.

When making face masks, do not forget about the neck and décolleté area.

Nutritious

When using nourishing masks, the skin receives the missing microelements and vitamins; they can be applied to the face two to three times a week. This will depend on the condition of the dermis, its type and the age of the woman.

Tired, exhausted skin needs intensive courses of nourishing masks. Typically, experts recommend 10 procedures, after which a break is taken for 3-4 weeks. Masks continue to be made for prevention 1-2 times a week.

Anti-aging

Anti-aging masks are optimal 3-4 times a week. This largely depends on age. If up to 37 years old the skin needs one or two procedures every seven days, then after this age their regularity should increase up to four times.

At a younger age, there is no need to overuse anti-age procedures, as this can reduce the production of your own collagen and slow down regeneration processes. The first masks aimed at combating age-related changes should be started after 25-27 years.

You should not keep the mask on your face for more than 20 minutes. This will not lead to a greater effect, but may overload the skin.

Whitening

Whitening masks are designed to get rid of hyperpigmentation or uneven complexion with redness or yellowness. They are relevant as part of anti-age care even at a younger age.

How many times a week to use a mask to brighten your face depends on your skin type. For normal and mixed skin, once a week is enough. On oily and problem areas, you can apply the product twice every seven days. And for dry and sensitive skin, one procedure should be no more than once every fourteen days.

For problem skin

For problem skin, it is important to cleanse and maintain normal hydrolipid balance. During periods of exacerbation of inflammation, it is permissible to use antiseptic masks three times a week

The products can be applied only to acne every day, in the evening before bed.

During the remission period, two cosmetic procedures within seven days are sufficient.

Moisturizing masks should be done twice a week; they can be combined with cleansing masks.

It is better to remove the mask from your face with a damp, wiped pad, and then wipe your face with toner and apply cream.

The key to a blooming appearance is regularity of caring procedures and an integrated approach. The combination of properly selected creams and face masks prolongs youth and allows you to quickly get rid of problems such as dryness, acne or hyperpigmentation.

Masks are an excellent prevention of various skin imperfections. They should be used constantly; the frequency of a particular type will depend on the type of facial skin or its individual needs.

Skin biorhythm

Many people wonder how often they should make face masks. In fact, a lot depends on the biorhythm of your skin. Even if a particular mask is perfect for you, it can be completely useless or even harmful if you apply it at the wrong time. For this reason, we will tell you at what time which problems should be solved with masks.

From 8 to 10 am you can apply any cosmetic masks and perform any procedures.
From 10 to 12 am, you can apply cleansing masks to reduce oily skin (clay formulations are suitable).
From 12 to 14 days, the skin, like the person himself, may look tired. It is better to use moisturizing masks and rest during this time. Don't expect amazing results from these masks.
From 14 to 18 is not a good time to apply any masks. The skin does not absorb any nutrients during this time.
From 18:00 to 23:00 you can perform any procedures to cleanse the skin, not only with scrubs, but also with other cleansing masks.
From 23 to 5 it is better to choose nourishing masks if you suddenly want to take care of yourself at this night time.

Now you know what time to make face masks so that they are as effective as possible.

How often can you apply masks to your face?

Initially, you need to understand that most of the success of cosmetic procedures depends on whether you have chosen the right composition of the product and whether it suits your skin type.

For example, with flaking, seborrhea or overly sensitive skin, it is recommended to approach regular care differently.

The answer to the question of how often you can apply a mask depends on the individual characteristics of your facial skin, its type, etc. Let's take a closer look at this issue.

The frequency of applying the product to the face depends directly on the skin type:

Oily skin. It is not recommended for ladies with oily skin to frequently use nourishing and moisturizing masks, since the face will have an oily sheen after the mask.

It is recommended to apply such products no more than once a week.

Also, there is no need to overuse age-related mixtures, since oily skin fades more slowly than dry skin.

But cleansing procedures need to be done more often.

Normal facial skin. Ladies with normal skin type can apply moisturizing masks up to twice a week.

When is the best time to apply the product and how often to do it depends on your individual preferences.

Up to two times a week you can cleanse the skin using film masks.

Dry skin. Girls and women with dry facial skin suffer from flaking and dryness

Therefore, they need to pay special attention to nutrition and hydration of the skin.

Cosmetic procedures aimed at moisturizing should be done at least three times a week.

But it’s better not to use scrubs too often, as they dry out already dry skin.

Sensitive skin. If you have delicate, sensitive skin, in order not to cause redness or allergic reactions, cosmetic procedures must be done very carefully.

For sensitive skin, nourishing creams and masks have worked well, which are recommended to be applied to the face up to four times a week.

But it’s better not to use peelings and overly exfoliating scrubs.

Combination skin. For representatives of the fair sex with a combination skin type, it is much more difficult to care for it, since it combines the features of each type of epidermis described above.

The frequency of applying cosmetics depends directly on how the sebaceous glands function.

If your skin has an oily sheen, do not overuse moisturizing creams and masks, replacing them with mattifying and cleansing ones.

When wondering at what time and how to apply a mask to your face, consider the biorhythms of your skin:

morning hours are the ideal time to apply a mask;
Before 12 noon, it is advisable to apply masks that remove excess fat;
from 3 to 6 pm it is better not to do any cosmetic procedures;
from 19 to 23 our body is less sensitive to pain, so you can do peelings and apply scrubs.

The right time of day to apply a mask

Even if the mask is expensive and of high quality, it may not have any positive effect if it is applied at the wrong time. So, when is the best time to apply a mask? In the morning from 8 to 10 is the most ideal time for cosmetic manipulations with the face. Also, the morning until noon is perfect for wearing masks that remove excess fat from the skin.

Application rules

At lunchtime it’s great to apply a moisturizing mask, you can change it with a cleansing mask;
After 15 hours and before 18 hours you can no longer apply masks, they will not bring any benefit;
After 18 hours is a good time for all kinds of scrubs, cleansing peels, you can apply a refreshing mask before the party;
After 11 pm and until the morning, no cosmetic products can be used, there will be no benefit from them.

An exception may be a nourishing mask at night. It is important not to deviate from these rules and wear masks within a strictly defined period of time. If these rules are not followed, there will be no benefit for the skin.

A better way to care than a face mask has not yet been invented. If until the age of 30 a woman may not even think about rejuvenating and cleansing masks, then after reaching this age it is advisable to do masks regularly. Masks 100% prolong youth and make facial skin attractive. Masks must be used in accordance with the attached instructions.

You should not make masks more often than a couple of times every 7 days. The wearing time is individual each time, but usually it does not exceed 30 minutes. Most often, classic masks are kept for 15-20 minutes. Masks made from berries can be used more often. And some makeup artists are generally inclined to believe that masks can be used at least 3 times a week. The main thing is to observe the application time mentioned above.

By regularly using masks you will notice that:

The skin has become tightened;
Pigment spots have disappeared;
Fine wrinkles are gone;
Improved complexion.

Biorhythms are expressed in the difference between daytime and nighttime processes in the skin.

Knowing the daily rhythm, it is easy to determine what time is best to do a face mask, and when you should refrain from doing it.

The daily cycle is divided into the following periods:

5.00-7.00. Preparing for the day's activities. The endocrine glands actively release hormones into the blood, sugar and hemoglobin levels rise, and blood pressure increases. Metabolism and cell division, on the contrary, slow down. It is best to make light toning and moisturizing masks.
7.00-8.00. Activation of the cardiovascular system. In the morning, blood circulation increases, blood flow to internal and external organs increases. If you slept well, you will look especially fresh at this moment. The best thing to do around seven in the morning is take a shower.
8.00-10.00. Increased pressure. The skin of the face becomes sensitive to cold and especially thermal influences. The body accepts medications well, and you can also make moisturizing masks. Massage will have a particularly beneficial effect.
10.00-13.00. Blood rushes to the digestive organs. Sebum (sebum), which the sebaceous glands produced at night, just reaches the surface, forming a film. Now it’s good to make masks aimed at eliminating acne. If you have sensitive skin, cosmetic procedures during these hours will be especially easy to tolerate.
13.00-15.00. Capillary pressure and nutrient flow are reduced. At the same time, skin tone decreases, complexion deteriorates, wrinkles and other defects appear. The skin experiences real afternoon fatigue. Now you can make a toning or moisturizing mask, but don’t expect any special miracles. Perhaps the best thing to do at this moment is to take a walk in the fresh air.
15.00-17.00. All biochemical processes in the body slow down. The epidermis becomes immune to any procedures and insensitive. Anesthesia performed during this period will be most effective.
17.00-20.00. After the stress experienced during the day, the body feels a new surge of strength. The skin responds well to nourishing and cleansing compositions, scrubs, and peels.
20.00-22.00. Preparation for sleep. It is useful to apply a night cream or a night mask with vitamins, minerals, and components to stimulate regeneration.
22.00-23.00. If you go to bed during this period, the next morning you will feel full of energy.
23.00-5.00. Recovery. Blood supply to tissues increases, sebum production occurs. You should not make masks, with the exception of formulations that can be left overnight.

If you follow the rhythm of daily activity, then it is better to do refreshing and tonic procedures in the morning, and cleansing and nourishing ones in the evening.

Recommendations from cosmetologists will help you understand at what time to make masks and what ingredients to use for this.

Morning

Between 8 and 10 am, the skin is especially receptive to toning and refreshing care. Products used in the morning should be aimed at cleansing toxins, restoring pH and healthy complexion, and strengthening the protective functions of the epidermis. This effect can be achieved by making masks based on starch, fruit, honey, and protein.

The following recipes will help you:

Refreshing banana mask. Mash 1/2 banana, add potato starch as a thickener to obtain a consistency that is easy to apply. Apply and wash off after 10 minutes.
Refreshing lemon-honey mask. Mix 2 tbsp. l. liquid uncandied honey, 1 tbsp. l. lemon juice and an arbitrary amount of starch as a thickener. Do the mask for 10 minutes.
Toning tea mask. Take 1 tsp. dry tea leaves, pour boiling water, leave for 20 minutes, strain. Cool the infusion at room temperature, then pour into ice molds and place in the freezer. Rub the prepared cubes onto the skin along the massage lines. The composition should dry on the skin on its own. Instead of tea, you can take chamomile, mint, linden blossom.
Brightening egg mask. Separate the egg white and beat into a transparent foam (no yolk is used), apply in several stages. The next layer is applied after the previous one has dried, that is, after about 5 minutes. It will take about half an hour in total.

Daytime

Daytime is not suitable for cosmetic procedures. The exception is matting compositions with green clay, which are applied during the peak activity of the sebaceous glands around 13.00.

Make a mask from three ingredients:

green clay (illite) – 2 tbsp. l.;
lemon juice – 3 tbsp. l.;
vodka – 10 ml.

Mix vodka and lemon juice. You will get a lotion for diluting green clay. Apply the finished mixture to the T-zone and areas where blackheads accumulate for 10 minutes.

The mask clears blackheads and normalizes the secretion of the sebaceous glands.

Green clay is the main component. If you don’t have vodka and lemon, make a composition based on boiled or mineral water at the rate of 2 tbsp. l. powder for 3 tbsp. l. liquids. Apply for 5-15 minutes (the more oily your skin is, the longer). Then rinse off the mask and apply moisturizer.

Evening

Evening is the best time for cleansing and nourishing masks. Cleansing treatments will help remove makeup and impurities accumulated throughout the day. Nutrient formulations with active ingredients will promote complete regeneration at night.

From 18.00 to 21.00 you can make masks from vegetables and fruits. Use one of the following recipes:

Purifying apricot overnight mask. Made from one apricot, 10 g chamomile and cinnamon. Grind the chamomile in a mortar, mix with apricot puree and add a pinch of cinnamon. Steam your face to open the pores, apply the mixture in a circular motion, leave for 10 minutes. Apply the mask regularly to improve your complexion. The product removes dead epithelial cells, removes toxins, cleanses and tightens pores, improves oxygen respiration of tissues, relieves dryness and inflammation.
Rejuvenating night mask with kefir and cottage cheese. Mix 3 tbsp. l. kefir and 1 tbsp. l. fat cottage cheese. Apply an even layer for 10 minutes. It is especially useful to make such a mask for dry skin. The vitamins in kefir promote collagen synthesis, smooth out wrinkles and restore a radiant complexion.

For oily skin, you should take kefir with a low percentage of fat content, for dry skin - with a high percentage.

Masks for the whole night

Products that are left on all night allow you to achieve a noticeable effect in a short time, remove traces of sleep, give your skin a healthy appearance, elasticity and radiance.

Drying mask for acne and blackheads based on aloe and cucumber. Make a remedy from 1 tbsp. l. aloe juice, 1 tbsp. l. cucumber juice and 1 drop of tea tree oil. Apply the resulting tonic strictly to problem areas and rashes.
Stimulating vitamin mask for facial contour. Made from 5 g of nourishing or baby cream, egg yolk, and a pinch of salt. You need to add 5 drops of liquid vitamins A, E, D to the composition. Apply the product, and in the morning, wash off the residue with cold green tea.
Moisturizing strawberry mask. Grind 3 strawberries, add 6 ml of cream and 14 drops of pomegranate seed oil.
Nourishing honey mask with banana. Make it from 100 g of fruit pulp and 15 ml of liquid warm honey. Mix the ingredients and apply to any skin type.

During the day, the processes occurring in our body either accelerate or slow down. Because of this, different cosmetics do not work equally well on the skin. Regardless of whether you buy a mask or a homemade one, it is better to use it exactly when it will bring maximum benefit. Therefore, it is necessary to know exactly what time of day is best to make face masks, which can later be used both when signing up for a cosmetic session in a beauty salon, and when performing procedures at home.

In the early morning, from approximately 5.00 to 7.00, the skin is just beginning to awaken. Cell regeneration is slow at this time. Nourishing masks are useless at this time. You can only prepare the skin for cosmetic procedures and help the cells “awaken.” Light tonics and moisturizers are suitable for this, but not masks.
Morning hours from 7.00 to 10.00 are suitable for procedures and the use of toning, moisturizing masks.
From 10.00 to 12.00, therapeutic and preventive masks are shown, aimed at eliminating problems such as excessive oily skin, lipid imbalance, acne (for example, these). At the same time, it is better to perform cosmetic procedures for those who have sensitive skin, since at this time the likelihood of allergic reactions is the lowest.
During the daytime (from 12.00 to 15.00), the dermis, like our entire body, experiences afternoon fatigue. Masks are not useless at this time, but they are not very effective either. During your lunch break, you can “feed” your skin with toning, moisturizing masks.
In the afternoon, until approximately 17-18 hours, you should not make masks. At this time of day, cell regeneration is extremely slow, and no nutrients are absorbed. Making masks at this time means transferring products and wasting time.
Evening hours from 18:00 to 22:00 are favorable for cleansing the skin. It is worth using this time to prepare the dermis for applying a night cream or nourishing mask. The use of scrubs, cleansing masks and deep cleansing products is best done at this time of day.
The best time for face masks, which are made to saturate the epidermis with vitamins and microelements and stimulate cell regeneration, is from 22 to 23 hours.
At night, regeneration processes are most dynamic; at this time of day it is best to sleep. Nourishing face masks are recommended to be used at least half an hour before going to bed. If you go to bed late, almost at night, you can do this procedure between 23.00 and 5.00.

Benefits of home treatments

We should also talk about homemade face masks, which can be prepared using existing products. But here you need to take into account that some components are strong allergens, and an allergic reaction does not always appear immediately. Sometimes allergens accumulate unnoticed in the body for a long time, and then appear in the form of a severe rash at the most inopportune moment.

Therefore, homemade cosmetics should not be considered safe.

Those who want to improve their complexion and make it more attractive can be advised to make masks with different compositions every day, but the components must be chosen correctly, i.e. complement each other. This method of alternating different homemade masks used daily will help your skin become radiant and healthy.

Before you make a face mask with active ingredients, you need to figure out which composition is most suitable for the skin. So, if the skin is problematic and very oily, then it is recommended to prepare a mixture using an active ingredient such as cosmetic clay.

Moreover, it must be taken into account that there are many types of clay, consisting of different mineral substances. Depending on what and in what quantity of mineral substances are contained in clay, this natural remedy acquires one color or another. The choice of this natural component depends on the skin type and the problems that need to be eliminated.

Before making a clay mask, you need to carefully read the composition of the latter and recommendations for use. Often the manufacturer indicates on the packaging information about what skin the product can be used for. For example, black clay can be an ideal component for oily skin where pores are clearly visible. This remedy helps eliminate pimples, dry them out, and cope with inflammation. But black clay is considered a rather aggressive component, so you can only apply it to your face twice a week.

Kaolin, on the other hand, has a more delicate effect, and compositions with white cosmetic clay can be used even every other day. This cosmetic product is suitable for the care of aging skin, which has already lost its tone, has become very sluggish and has acquired an unhealthy tint.

Usually this is a cleansing, scrub mask and nourishing/moisturizing one. This should be enough to keep your skin looking good. When any problems arise, pimples appear or the skin becomes drier, you can make a suitable mask.

Simple recipes for masks for every day

Elementary to prepare, daily face masks will perfectly saturate the dermis with all the necessary substances and thereby provide it with adequate nutrition. So, steamed oatmeal or grated fresh cucumber will help improve the skin tone and easily tone the skin, and natural white yogurt will moisturize and give energy.

Vitamin mask made from apples

This recipe will charge the dermis with vitamins, and give the face natural freshness and beauty. In order for the composition to become thick, you need to add a little starch to it.

Product components:

• apple – 1 pc.; • cream or vegetable oil – 1 tbsp; • starch – 1 tsp.

1. Mix butter or cream with starch in a glass bowl. 2. Finely grate the apple and add it to the rest of the ingredients. 3. Gently apply the product to the skin and wait 20 minutes. 4. Afterwards, rinse with clean water without soap.

If you have oily skin with enlarged pores, then instead of butter or cream, it is better to mix the grated apple with egg white. You can replace the apple with any fruit; for example, you can make a face mask from kiwi.

Preparing the skin for application

An important rule for a good result is the mandatory cleansing of the dermis from impurities. Cleanse the face with your usual cleansing tonic or lotion

Oily and normal skin can additionally be treated with a scrub.

The effect will be much stronger if you steam your face in a steam bath before using the mask. A steam bath is contraindicated for rosacea and close proximity of blood vessels.

If there are open wounds or injuries on the face, then the use of masks is contraindicated.
