Can I use a facial mask during my menstrual period?

Many women have the habit of applying facial masks. Generally speaking, women's body resistance decreases during menstruation, but you can apply facial masks during menstruation. Applying facial masks during menstruation will not affect menstruation. Most women's skin is not very good during menstruation. Applying facial masks during menstruation is a good time. Moreover, applying facial masks during menstruation helps the human skin absorb and is good for women's skin.

Is it good to use a facial mask during menstruation?

First of all, although the body's resistance decreases and the physical condition slightly declines during menstruation, applying a facial mask will not affect it. So you can use facial mask during menstruation.

In addition, it is actually very good to use a facial mask during menstruation. It can be said to be the "platinum" time for skin care. Especially in the last few days of menstruation, the skin's absorption capacity is quite strong. When using a facial mask during menstruation in winter, if it is a paper mask, it is best to soak it in hot water first to avoid the temperature being too low and irritating the body. But it’s best to use a mask from the same brand that you’ve used before, rather than a new one. Because the human body is weak and the skin is more sensitive during menstruation, choosing a facial mask that has been used before is not likely to cause skin sensitivity.

Skin care precautions

Skin care before work

Cleansing: Many girls will invest a lot of money in replenishing skin care products such as masks or essences, but they are often short-lived, wasting money and failing to truly care for the skin. In fact, cleansing is the cornerstone of skin care. Only by carefully selecting cleansing and makeup removal products suitable for your skin type can you prepare your skin for care.

Cleansing the skin. In the morning, our skin cleansing needs are relatively simple. We only need to use facial cleanser to clean the oil secreted by the skin throughout the night. But at night, no matter how tired you are or how much you hate the trouble, please be sure to perform the cleansing procedure. Whether you are wearing makeup or just applying isolation or sunscreen, removing makeup is equally important. Whether the cleansing cream is foaming or non-foaming, it must be able to clean facial dust and clogged pores. This way, the skin will be clear and comfortable after cleansing, and facial masks or other treatments can be fully absorbed.

Precautions for applying facial mask

Menstrual period (1 to 5 days) The menstrual period is the period when women’s estrogen secretion is the lowest. The skin at this time is prone to sensitivity and dryness, unbalanced oil secretion, and increased natural keratin. At this time, it is recommended to use more anti-allergic and moisturizing masks.

The first week after the menstrual period is the preovulation period (6-12 days), when the estrogen begins to work hard, and this is the best time for the skin. The amount of moisture and sebum reaches the most ideal state, and the ability to absorb nutrients is also the strongest. This is the golden period for nourishing and whitening. At this time, it is recommended to use a deep repair, whitening and moisturizing mask.

Skin care according to endocrine cycle

The ovulation period (13-15 days) is the transition period between the peak secretion of female hormones and the peak secretion of flavonoids, and the skin condition gradually becomes unstable. At this time, it is recommended to use a deep cleansing, soothing and moisturizing mask.

After ovulation, the hormone level becomes disordered, sebum secretion becomes excessive, and the melanin accumulated in the deep layer of the skin slowly moves to the surface of the skin with metabolism. At this time, it is recommended to use a facial mask that can remove yellowness, brighten the skin, and moisturize and lock in moisture.
