Our bodies get tired throughout the day and need extra care. Similarly, your skin also needs special attention. Applying a face mask two or three times a week helps combat dullness, oiliness, and other skin problems.

However, using a face mask correctly is crucial to achieving the best results. Let's look at some common mistakes we make and how to correct them to get glowing skin.

Benefits of using a face mask:

- Deeply hydrates and moisturizes the skin

- Controls excess oil

- Keeps pores clear

- Cleanses away dirt and dead skin cells

- Slows down the aging process

Common mistakes made when applying face masks:

1. Not considering your skin type

Just like moisturizers and serums, face masks should be chosen according to your skin type and concerns. Clay masks are suitable for oily skin or those prone to blemishes. Mild masks or sheet masks are better options for sensitive skin.

2. Not preparing the skin beforehand

Washing and exfoliating your face before applying a mask is essential. This removes surface dirt and impurities, allowing the mask to work more effectively.

3. Applying too much or too little product

The amount of mask applied also affects the results. Always read the instructions on the packaging before applying the mask. Each mask has a different application method.

4. Not knowing how to remove the mask correctly

Removing the mask is just as important as applying it. For sheet masks, simply remove the mask and wash your face with lukewarm water. Cream-based masks have a different removal method, which is usually provided on the packaging.

5. Applying the mask too often or too infrequently

Not all masks are meant for daily use. For example, using an exfoliating mask daily can dry out or damage the skin. Conversely, using a mask too infrequently won't yield the desired results. Use the mask at appropriate intervals according to your skin type and the type of mask.
