| Skin moisture content | +32% | +58% | 26% higher |
| Essence absorption | 41% | 79% | nearly doubled |
| Incidence of redness | twenty three% | 6% | 17% reduction |
Based on recent online hot topics and professional dermatology advice,15-20 minutes after steaming is the best time to apply facial mask. At this time, the pores are still slightly open but the body temperature has returned to normal, which can not only ensure the absorption effect, but also avoid the denaturation of the mask ingredients caused by high temperature. It is recommended to choose a mild mask that is alcohol-free and fragrance-free, and the application time should be controlled for 10-15 minutes.
Special reminder: In the recent trend of "taking photos and checking in in the steam room", it is common to see people wearing facial masks while steaming. This will actually hinder the discharge of sweat and may also cause skin allergies. The correct approach is to perform facial mask care in the rest area after steaming to achieve real beauty effects.
