What is the difference between a fabric and a cream face mask
Let’s start by understanding the big difference between a fabric and a cream face mask: the fabric mask is , in fact, a preformed fabric to be placed on the face and is almost always soaked in serum, although it can sometimes be soaked in a fluid that resembles a cream. The cream mask , on the other hand, is applied with a brush or a spatula and then rinsed off after a set shutter speed, unless it is a mask to be kept on all night. Let’s start from the basics: how to choose the face mask
The face mask is chosen mainly for its effects. Being an additional treatment to its ownbasic skincare routine changes according to what the skin requires. For example, you can opt for a moisturizer if the skin is dry or drier than usual and we want to give a boost of hydration, illuminating if the complexion is dull, purifying if we want to combat imperfections and blackheads and so on.
It is therefore not necessary to always do the same, it is important to observe and listen to what the skin requires at that particular moment in which you want to dedicate an extra pampering with a face mask . The choice between a fabric face maskor in cream and personal, there are those who prefer the classic ones to apply with the brush and rinse and those who prefer those in fabric, certainly more practical because there is nothing to dirty, comfortable even when traveling because they do not take up space. How many times a week you can make a face mask in fabric
It is recommended to make a face mask in fabric once a week, but it is not mandatory. Being an extra treatment compared to those used daily, you may not feel the need to use it on a regular basis. On the contrary, you can choose to apply it even two or three times a week, varying the type to benefit from different effects.
For example, you can start the week with a detoxifying or purifying mask, after a few days make a moisturizer and finally an illuminating, smoothing or lifting, perhaps before a particular event. There are, in fact, face masks that have an immediate mattifying or tensor effect or that act as a primer, therefore perfect to do before proceeding with make-up. You must always do the scrub before making a face mask
Before applying a face maskIt is always good to prepare the skin to receive the treatment. The face must be removed and cleansed, without residues of make-up or other products previously applied. It is a good idea to do a scrub to remove dead skin cells, sebum and dirt accumulated in the pores, but do not overdo it. Yes to a light scrub or an acid-based peel once a week or every ten days, so if you do the masks with this frequency you can do your exfoliation every time, before using the mask. If, on the other hand, you use the face mask several times a week , do not scrub each time to avoid stressing the skin. The face mask in fabric must be rinsed
Unlike cream masks , theface mask in fabric does not rinse, unless it is expressly written on the package. Always better to check even if, in principle, most are left to act, then remove and massage the serum or cream left on the face, until completely absorbed. The tonic is applied after the fabric face mask
Another big question is that of the tonic: usually you cleanse your face, apply the tonic and then move on to the serum and cream. With cream masks that need to be rinsed, the tonic is applied later, precisely because if you have to wash your face, it too would be washed off, which therefore would only take effect in the minutes of laying the mask. The face is cleansed, the cream mask is applied, is held in place, rinsed and then passed the tonic.
In the case of face masks in fabric , however, since rinsing is not necessary and by massaging the serum left on the face, the tonic is not rinsed off and therefore must be applied before making the mask. The tonic in fact has a liquid consistency, lighter than the mask serum and applying it afterwards would mean not allowing it to penetrate properly into the skin. Then the face is cleansed, the tonic is applied, once dry, the fabric mask is applied , held in place and once the fabric has been removed, the remaining serum is massaged. What to do with the liquid that remains in the package
Once you open the package of the mask and spread it on the face, you will notice that there will be a lot of liquid or cream left in the package. Do not throw away the package but use that leftover serum in the following days, taking care not to make it last too long so that it does not oxidize and trying to close the lol pack as best as possible so as not to let air in, even with a simple clothespin. Use the leftover serum just like you would use a regular serum, after cleansing and toning. Use it within a day or two at most, but it will almost certainly last for a couple of applications. Serum and cream are used after the tissue mask
After massaging the remaining serum on the face once the exposure time of the tissue mask has passedit is not necessary to apply another serum, just the one of the mask. As for the cream, however, it can be applied normally, but not always necessary, it depends on your type of skin and mask. If, for example, you have dry skin and feel that the skin needs more hydration, apply the cream, but if you have made a super moisturizing mask and you feel that it is already in place, you can avoid it. If, on the other hand, you have mixed or oily skin and you still feel hydrated after the face mask then do not apply it, if instead the skin is purified but you think it is appropriate to spread a veil of cream, do not worry: always listen to what it is. your skin requires.
