Can a 12-year-old wear a facial mask?

Children have not entered puberty before the age of ten, and their skin quality is very good, pink and smooth, without any acne or acne pits. However, after puberty, the hair follicles will begin to secrete oil, and various acne and hair follicle inflammation will appear on the face. It is not recommended to apply facial masks too early at the age of 12. You can take good care of the skin first.

There is no need to use facial masks at this age. Facial masks are suitable for adults. Children aged 12 should mainly use children's skin care products. This age does not need to use

Masks should be avoided around the eyes.

Because the skin structure around the eyes is different from that on the face, it is thin and sensitive, and its ability to absorb moisture and nutrients is very limited, so it is unsafe to apply the mask directly around the eyes.

Facial masks are like a "snack" in the skin care routine. They are effective but have requirements for their use, especially in terms of the duration of use. Usually do not use it too frequently or apply it for too long. Generally speaking, two to three times a week, each time for 10 to 20 minutes is enough.

Unless there are some special circumstances that require continuous use, such as dry and harsh environment and climate, severe skin dehydration, or an important date in a few days that requires skin improvement, it can be used as an emergency mask for several days. Also, the mask should not be left on the face for too long and must not dry on the face, otherwise it will absorb moisture from the skin's surface.

The best time to use a face mask is at night. Night is the "golden time" for skin beauty. At this time, skin cells are more active and have stronger metabolic capacity, which can make the beauty essence of facial masks or other skin care products more fully exert their effects and greatly improve skin quality. Therefore, night time is the best time to use a facial mask.

Before applying a facial mask, make sure your skin is clean. Although the mask should be washed off afterwards, you cannot apply the mask directly on an unwashed face, including a cleansing mask. You must wash your face first and then apply the mask. The mask ingredients act directly on clean, dirt-free skin, which is more effective.
