Making facial masks is the main way people take care of their facial skin nowadays. Applying facial masks can effectively replenish the moisture needed by the human face and moisturize the skin to achieve whitening effects, etc. Applying facial masks also needs to be considered in terms of age. Younger people should try not to use it to avoid irritating their skin and causing some adverse reactions. So, can a 14-year-old apply a facial mask? Let me introduce it below.

Facial mask, the principle of facial mask is to use the short time of covering on the face to temporarily isolate the outside air and pollution, increase skin temperature, expand skin pores, promote sweat gland secretion and metabolism, and increase skin oxygen content. Facial mask helps the skin to eliminate the products of epidermal cell metabolism and accumulated oil substances. The moisture in the facial mask penetrates into the stratum corneum of the skin's epidermis, making the skin soft and increasing elasticity. If you want a mask to have whitening and moisturizing effects, you must choose a professional skin care mask. Professional products will not irritate or harm the skin, and are healthy and safe to use. The bags of facial masks on the market are all made of chemical agents and are not suitable for sensitive skin. You must be careful when choosing a facial mask, as professionalism and health are important.

1. Before using a facial mask, it is best to do an allergy test first. Apply a small amount of mask dressing on the back of your hand and wash it off after 30 minutes. If there is no redness or itching reaction at the applied area, you can apply it on your face.

2. Before applying the mask, you should remove makeup and wash your face. If necessary, you can also exfoliate first to facilitate the absorption of the mask and prevent dirt and dust from entering the pores.

3. After washing your face, before applying the facial mask, you can first apply a hot towel to your face for three minutes, and then massage all over your face for three to five minutes to enhance the effect of the facial mask.

4. When applying the mask on the entire face, it is advisable to first apply some oil on the edges of the eyebrows, hairline, eyes, lips, etc. to prevent the mask from sticking to these parts and making it difficult to clean.

5. The order of applying facial mask should be from neck, jaw, cheeks, nose, lips, forehead, from bottom to top; it is not advisable to apply facial mask around the eyes, eyebrows, upper and lower lips.

7. After removing the mask, use clean warm water to wash off the residue on your face, then apply a cold towel to your face for a while to shrink the pores, and finally apply moisturizing cosmetics.

8. Generally speaking, when the mask dries, it will cause the skin to tighten and wrinkles to appear, so the mask should be removed immediately when it dries, and should not be left on the skin for a long time or overnight.

9. In principle, facial masks can be used two to three times a month. People with acne, chloasma, and age spots on their faces can apply it once or twice a week to enhance the effect. Protein masks should not be used too frequently, and are limited to about twice a week.

10. Homemade natural facial masks tend to harden after losing moisture, and are also susceptible to contamination and breeding bacteria. Therefore, it is not advisable to make too much at one time. It is best to make and use them immediately.
