Can I use a facial mask when my period comes?

There are always a few days every month that women need to pay attention to, and they also need to pay attention to these aspects of skin care! Just like in terms of skin care during menstruation, can women use facial masks during menstruation? What issues should we pay attention to? Let’s follow the editor to see what you should pay attention to when taking care of your skin during menstruation!

First of all, women can use facial masks during their menstrual period. Choosing skin care during menstruation has a very good skin care and beauty effect. Generally speaking, night is the best time for skin care. At this time, skin cells are more active; skin blood circulation is accelerated, and the absorption of cosmetic ingredients is more effective; the proliferation ability of cells is 2 times higher than usual, and the ability to produce collagen is enhanced. This stage is also when menstrual bleeding decreases, and it is the golden time for the skin to obtain blood oxygenation. When the skin is in this "skin care best time", its absorption capacity is the best, and the deeply penetrated skin care essence can play a more effective role, greatly improving the skin condition.

You can choose a moisturizing mask during your period, because it is very important to moisturize and hydrate your skin.

Hydrating Mask A/B options:

A. Day cream type: For dry or combination skin, hydrating masks with day cream color usually contain higher oil content. For dry skin, as the "dryness" during menstruation becomes more severe, if you can use a moisturizing mask with high oil content, it will be more helpful to retain moisture in the skin. In particular, some day cream-like hydrating masks can be left on the skin overnight, and the effect will be more ideal. For combination skin, problem-oriented hydration will make the skin more tender and white.

B. Paper type - Oily skin Oily skin does not mean that your skin is not prone to dryness, and paper hydrating masks can carry a higher concentration of moisturizing essence, allowing the skin to obtain concentrated moisturizing care and can quickly increase the skin's moisture content. But one thing to note is that when you tear off the hydrating mask after 15 to 20 minutes, you must immediately apply a hydrating cream to lock the moisture in the skin.
