Love seeing me post this often?
Pray that this will continue coz there is a high chance I'm gonna go radio silence on you.
LOL
anyway,
tonight, I wana share with you my thoughts on what I think I should do with Face Mask; before, during and after.
Currently, I'm doing this once a week and alternately changing types of mask every week; Brightening, Wrinkle Care, Pore Care, Firming, Moisturizing, and Hydrating. at my age, I need all these. xD
Let's carry on to my routine.
First step: wash face like you normally would. then dry off, put on my essence and toner, giving an interval of 1 minute after each application.
Second step: Put on Face Mask. Normally, there will be some more products left in the packet and I usually pour them on my palm, spread some more on my mask (I'm not about wasting my $3. LOL), and massage gently for a minute or sekajab saja. and then let it sit.
Third step: in all honesty, I don't know and too lazy to find out, on how long you should leave your mask on. For me, once I feel the mask is drying, and some of the products also no longer on the mask, I will peel it off.
and get this,
Fourth step: Once I peeled off the mask, I would wet my hands, pat my face, then dry that off with facial tissue.
Now, I understand that you're not supposed to wash your face after using face mask but, *shrug* I just do.
let's read these comments I came across on Reddit when I Google this issue.
For me, the reason why I ended up my face mask routine the way is because;
My skin type is Oily.
meaning, I hate the heavy feeling I feel on my face. I hate the sticky feeling I felt an hour after washing my face.
Usually, after using face mask, my face feels so heavy and sticky or in my simple words, "berminyak". yatah, to get rid of that feeling, I at least rinse the excessive feeling.
Like one of the commentor, If i leave my face unwash after using face mask, there will be break out which stresses me out. I'm already having hormonal zits popping up every now and then, I don't need to encourage that by not rinsing excessive products/residues of my face after using the face mask.
I guess, different people, different skin types. I'm going to continue doing what I do.
Besides, it's working for me.
*shrug some more*

Yes I love this post!
ReplyDeleteBcs I feel clean after I read this post XD my face care routine is a super lazy one.. I only do daily moisturizer, I don't do anything more than that. I am a very low maintenance girl :/
And for real, I wipe the excess liquid from the mask. It is too wet and too oily for me.. I do a wash after a mask bcs of it. But are we supposed to leave it that way? No for me! I think if I ever leave the liquid, I'd create more pimples instead :x I am so prone.
For the excess liquid, I pour it on my hands and rub it all over my lower arms.. Hoping it would soften the skin or what. XD
How often do you do this kind of facial routine? Is there any significant result? I think if it works well on you, I might start to be more diligent in face mask XD :) ty for the post!
Thank You!
DeleteI used to be lazy with my skincare routine too but at my age now, I think, I need to reconsider my life choices LOL
I heard about that too; rubbing the extra liquid on your arms but I havent got the energy to do so :P
Currently, I used face mask once a week. I wanted to use them two times a week but I often forgot and lazy :P
I've seen a friend used face mask everyday and the result I see on her was amazingggggg!
maybe I should try and use face mask everyday for a month and make a post about it ;)
