Mud masks, as common cleansing and skin care products, are popular due to their strong adsorption capacity. However, if used improperly, they not only fail to achieve the desired effect but may also harm the skin. To use the mud film correctly, one needs to start from multiple aspects in detail. First of all, before using it, you should determine its suitability based on your skin type. Oily and combination skin are suitable for regular deep oil cleansing with the mud mask. Normal skin can do it occasionally. However, dry and sensitive skin should be cautious, especially when the skin is in a wound, inflamed or allergic state, the use should be suspended. Next, thoroughly clean your face with a mild facial cleanser to remove makeup, oil and dust. For oily skin, apply a hot towel to your face to help open the pores, while for dry skin, this step can be skipped.
When applying the mud mask, use the small spoon provided to take an appropriate amount of the product. The thickness should be about 1-2 millimeters, where the skin texture can be seen but the skin tone is not exposed. Focus on applying it to the T-zone with abundant oil secretion such as the forehead, nose, and chin, as well as the sides of the nose. At the same time, avoid areas with thinner skin such as the eyes and lips, as well as the edges of the eyebrows and hairline. Wait for 10 to 15 minutes. When the surface of the mud film is 70% to 80% dry, wet your face with warm water, gently massage in circular motions and then rinse it off. Do not wipe it vigorously with a towel.
After the cleansing is completed, the skincare steps are equally crucial. Gently pat your face with astringent water to shrink pores, then apply a hydrating mask or moisturizing essence to replenish moisture to your skin in a timely manner. 
In terms of usage frequency, oily skin should be used 1-2 times a week, mixed skin once a week with a focus on the T-zone, and normal and dry skin once every two weeks or locally. In addition, avoid using it simultaneously with scrubs and acidic skin care products to prevent excessive exfoliation. After opening, the mud film should be sealed and stored in a cool and dry place, and used up within 6 to 12 months. Different skin types can also choose clay masks specifically. For instance, oily skin is suitable for products containing volcanic mud and activated carbon, while sensitive skin is advised to select those with Moroccan clay and chamomile. Only by following these steps and key points can the mud film exert its best cleansing and skin care effects and protect the health of the skin.
