Can I apply facial mask during menstruation?

Applying facial mask is a very good beauty method for women. It is simple and effective. Moreover, various types of facial masks have different beauty effects, so women have more choices. From an economic point of view, facial masks are cheaper than other skin care products, so it is understandable that they are popular. But there are many things to note when applying a facial mask, such as whether you can apply a facial mask during menstruation?

Before menstrual period

The week before menstruation is the worst time for skin condition due to the influence of hormones in the body. This stage is the peak period of progesterone secretion, and the activity of sebum and pigment is enhanced. Whether it is the skin or hair, the sebaceous glands will secrete more vigorously, resulting in excessive oil, loss of skin transparency, and the skin will become extremely dry. The pores become enlarged, and acne and pimples are prone to occur, accompanied by a dull complexion and swelling. The most important thing during this period is maintenance so that the skin condition does not deteriorate any further.

Maintenance principles: focus on cleaning and strengthen oil control one week before menstruation

Due to the vigorous secretion of sebum and the proliferation of skin keratin, pores are blocked and water accumulates in blood vessels, which easily leads to acne. We need to strengthen skin cleansing and remove excess oil.

Moisturizing is essential. Strengthening moisturizing can not only soften cuticles and reduce acne, but also increase skin radiance and improve the problem of dull skin tone before menstruation. During this period, you should also do a good job of sun protection, because the skin is more susceptible to the effects of ultraviolet rays. When going out, you need to apply a broad-effect sunscreen (sunscreen that protects against ultraviolet AB rays at the same time) with a high factor sunscreen, or you can just carry an umbrella or wear a hat if you don't mind the trouble.

Maintenance method:

It is recommended to cleanse again according to the procedure after completing the usual cleansing process to control the secretion of oil, ensure clear pores, allow the skin to breathe freely, and prevent the formation of acne.

Melanin is easily formed in the week before menstruation, which causes a large increase in black spots. Dark circles are formed under the influence of blood congestion and pigmentation. Adequate sleep and proper eye massage, alternating hot and cold, can reduce the severity of dark circles.

During menstrual period

Skin care during menstruation should focus on reducing irritation and lowering nutrition. In order to better protect the skin from harm, try to avoid or avoid places with serious dust pollution.

Maintenance principle: Mild exfoliation and moisturizing

Maintenance method:

1. Wash oil with oil. In order to prevent dryness and reduce the irritation of alkaline lotions to the skin, it is best to choose a facial cleanser with more oiliness. When washing your face, do not rub your dry cheeks hard. Focus on the T-zone where oil is more produced. Wash the oil with oil, and then rinse with clean water to thoroughly remove the keratin cells on the surface of the skin and the dirt deep in the hair follicles.

2. Hydrating and moisturizing. Replace the ordinary day cream you use daily with a day cream that has hydrating and moisturizing effects. After cleansing in the morning and evening, spray the skin with moisturizing water. During the menstrual period, you can apply a moisturizing mask on your face one hour before going to bed every night for two consecutive days to keep the skin absolutely moisturized and prevent dryness.

Hydrating and moisturizing. During menstruation, you can spray your skin with moisturizing water after cleansing in the morning and evening, dry it with a tissue after thirty seconds, and then use a hydrating and moisturizing day cream. During menstruation, you can also use a moisturizing mask to improve dull and dehydrated skin. It is recommended to apply the mask one hour before going to bed. After application, gently pat your face for absorption. You can use the mask twice during menstruation.

For dark circles caused by excessive blood loss during menstruation, after applying eye cream, you can use circular motions to strengthen eye massage, which can reduce dark circles.

After menstrual period

After the menstrual period, hormone secretion increases, the skin's colloid function is activated, the skin becomes elastic, shiny, and has a good complexion. The skin condition is stable. There is no need to do anything big during this period. Daily care and ordinary cleaning are enough.

Maintenance principle: simple care, easy beauty

Appropriately reducing the intensity of cleaning, washing your face with ordinary facial cleanser, and adding daily skin care products can help keep your skin in good condition.

Maintenance method:

The 10 days after the end of the menstrual period is the period when the body secretes more female hormones. It is also the time when the skin metabolism is fastest and the absorption of nutrients is best. You may wish to seize these 10 days to give the skin deeper moisturizing and boldly use high-quality nutritional products to increase the moisture and smoothness of the skin. The skin cell regeneration capacity of mature skin has weakened, and it needs to be maintained with special skin care products that stimulate the production of elastic fibers. You can use low-irritation massage products to form a natural protective film on the skin and prevent skin from drying out. For people with oily skin, facial mask is more important than massage. During this period, you should choose skin care products more carefully and make appropriate adjustments according to your skin type.

After menstruation is a good time to apply a mask: whitening mask + revitalizing mask

The ovulation period is when the skin performs best, and the estrogen in the body is particularly active at this time, so it is best to use this period to eliminate the melanin in the skin. Send out the whitening mask to hit the melanin hard and make it exit your body. As the oil content in the skin gradually increases, the efficiency of using a revitalizing mask is greatly improved. After using it, you will find that the fine lines around the eyes have also become less.
