A facial mask is a sheet or cream-based beauty product containing a high concentration of nutrients or specific active ingredients, primarily used for intensive and deep care and improvement of facial skin.

Main Forms: The most common are sheet masks (soaked in essence) and cream masks (such as clay masks, sleeping masks, and wash-off masks).

Main Functions:

Hydration and moisturizing (most common function).

Cleansing pores (e.g., clay masks).

Soothing, repairing, and brightening skin tone, etc.

Usage Characteristics: It is generally recommended to leave the mask on for a period of time (e.g., 15-20 minutes) to allow the skin to better absorb the active ingredients in a relatively enclosed environment, achieving a rapid and intensive skincare effect.

In short, a facial mask is a beauty product used for intensive facial skin care.

Cleansing Preparation: Thoroughly cleanse your face (remove makeup, wash face).

Priming (Optional): Apply a small amount of toner or serum as a base to aid absorption of subsequent products.

Applying: Take out the face mask and, aligning it with the eyes, nose, and mouth areas, apply it smoothly and evenly to your face.

Waiting: Leave the mask on for 15-20 minutes as instructed (do not leave it on until completely dry).

Removing: Gently remove the mask from the bottom up.

Massaging for Absorption: Gently massage your face with your fingertips to help absorb any remaining essence.

Later Moisturizing: Finally, apply lotion or cream to lock in nutrients and moisture.
