When it comes to applying a face mask, its important to cleanse your face first to remove surface dirt, oil, and makeup. You can wash your face at the sink and apply your mask before getting in the shower, or you can wash your face in the shower and apply your mask there and keep it on while you do the rest of your showering routine. Another option is to take a shower and then wash your face and apply your mask. This method works particularly well with deep cleansing masks for oily and combination skin, such as those made from mud and charcoal.
In terms of the order of applying skincare products, the general rule is to layer your products from thin to thick and to apply the products with the highest percentage of active ingredients first. When it comes to applying a face mask, it should be applied after cleansing and toning the skin but before moisturizing.
Its important to note that before using a new product, you should patch test it first to identify if your skin is compatible. Apply a small amount of the product to a patch of skin that’s not your face and wait a few days before full-face application to look out for any negative reactions.
