When hydrating mask and whitening mask are used alternately, it is usually recommended to use hydrating mask first, and then use whitening mask, so that the effect will be better, mainly for the following reasons:
Lay the foundation for skin to absorb whitening ingredients: Moisturizing mask can replenish the skin with sufficient moisture, so that the stratum corneum cells are in a full state, making the skin more soft and delicate. This creates a good condition for the absorption of the effective ingredients in the subsequent whitening mask, which can make the whitening ingredients better penetrate into the bottom of the skin and play its whitening effect.
Enhance the skin’s tolerance to whitening ingredients: The first use of a moisturizing mask can soothe the skin, reduce the sensitivity of the skin, and enhance the skin’s tolerance to whitening ingredients. Some of the active ingredients contained in whitening masks, such as vitamin C, niacinamide, etc., may be irritating to the skin. If the skin is dehydrated and dry, the skin may have uncomfortable reactions such as tingling and redness when using these whitening masks. Applying a hydrating mask first prepares the skin to reduce this discomfort.
However, there are some special circumstances. If the whitening mask contains salicylic acid and other ingredients that have the effect of cleaning pores, you can also use the whitening mask to clean, and then use the hydrating mask to moisturize. But no matter which order, it is necessary to adjust according to your skin type and skin reaction after use to achieve the best skin care effect.
