Can Chinese medicine be applied on the face?

Beauty and skin care are something that many girls often do, just like applying a facial mask. In fact, when applying a facial mask, in addition to using ordinary paper masks and sleeping masks, Chinese medicine masks are also very good. So what should you do when applying a Chinese medicine mask? What else should you pay attention to?

Clean your face first, then take an appropriate amount of the Chinese medicine mask and apply it evenly to the entire face (Note: avoid the eyes and lips). The mask should reach a certain thickness to completely isolate the skin from the air.

Start applying from the areas that are more prone to drying, and be sure to apply all at once to avoid repeating the process.

After leaving the mask on for 20 minutes, wipe it off with a soft wet sponge or cotton pad, rinse it with clean water, and gently pat your face with skin care water or lotion suitable for your skin.

Unless very individual therapeutic Chinese herbal acne masks clearly indicate the requirement for continuous use, otherwise, "tonifying" your face every day can be harmful to your body. Because of excessive facial cleansing, the newly grown cuticle will lead to a decrease in the skin's protective function and make it easy to get irritated.

Some people, once applying a facial mask, leave it on their face for several hours or even overnight, trying to "squeeze out" every drop of essence or nutrients. This practice is not advisable because, if the mask covers the face for too long, it will affect the normal metabolic function of facial skin cells and is not conducive to the normal discharge of skin secretions.

Before using a facial mask, it is best to wash your face with warm water to open the pores, allowing deep sebum and dirt to be easily discharged, so as to ensure that more nutrients in the mask can be absorbed during the application process.

What you should pay attention to when using a mask like this is that you should not use it every day, because the skin needs a certain degree of self-regulation and absorption. You can apply a mask about once every 3 to 5 days. If you apply a mask frequently, it will easily make your skin more fragile. After applying the mask, you should still pay attention to cleansing your face and moisturizing.
