First, you cannot steam your face while applying the mask.
When many people buy a facial steamer, they will see that it is written in the manual that it can open the skin pores, expel the dirt inside, and more water enters the pores to achieve the effect of hydrating. Then, some people think that steaming their face while applying the mask will not only save a lot of time, but maybe the effect will be better, allowing the essence in the mask to quickly enter the pores. However, this approach is actually wrong.
Because the pores of the face will be opened when the face is steamed, and the dirty things inside will flow out. If the mask is applied at this time, these dirty things will not be discharged and blocked outside the pores. Instead, it will be absorbed by the skin along with the essence in the mask. This effect will be even worse, and the gains outweigh the losses. In addition, the mask has a certain degree of sealing properties. If you apply the mask while steaming your face, the pores of your skin will not be able to breathe, and it will encourage bacterial acne.

Second, the correct order of use of the steamer and mask.
According to the working principle of the steamer, it is recommended to use the steamer first, and then use the mask. Because when using the facial steamer, the skin pores open, allowing the dirt inside to be discharged. At this time, the skin needs a lot of moisture to replenish it, and then use a mask to transport nutrients and moisture to the deep layers of the skin to maintain the skin. Therefore, this order of use can maximize the effectiveness of the two and achieve a multiplier effect.

Third, don’t steam your face with the mask first.
Although this order of use is not harmful to the skin, it does not have any benefit, and it is nothing. Because the mask is applied, the essence on the face stays on the surface of the skin. At this time, if the facial steamer is used, the essence that has been absorbed hard will be discharged again, and the effect of the mask will not be exerted.
For girls, it took so much effort, time and energy, but the skin did not get better, which is a very annoying thing. Therefore, it is necessary to correctly master the use of facial steamer.

Fourth, the time to apply the mask after steaming the face.
In order to achieve better results, some people choose to apply the mask until it is almost dry before taking it off. In fact, this is a very bad practice, because after the mask paper dries, it will absorb the moisture in the skin and make the skin even more dry. To maximize the effectiveness of the mask, it is recommended not to apply the mask for more than 15 minutes each time. Generally speaking, the absorption capacity of the skin can be absorbed in about 15 minutes, and the skin is already in a better state at this time.

Fifth, the precautions for steaming your face.
After using the steamer, you will find that many dirty things on the face flow out with moisture. At this time, you can't apply the mask directly. Instead, you need to wash your face with some hot water and then apply the mask. The effect will be better.
