Facial masks have become a housekeeping skill for skincare. Many people like to stock masks. Several boxes or even dozens of boxes are stored. It is not new to store the mask in the refrigerator. Even the mask has become the protagonist of the refrigerator.
Many girls put facial masks in the refrigerator, but do you know why they put them in the refrigerator?
First of all, the storage of the mask needs to be in a cool and ventilated place, storing it in the refrigerator can well reduce and slow down the propagation speed of bacteria, so it will have a good antibacterial effect. In addition, the temperature in the refrigerator is relatively low and air humidity is relatively high. Placing the mask in the refrigerator will help maintain the moisture of the mask.
Moreover, many facial masks have added active ingredients, which are easy to volatilize, and will accelerate the movement of active molecules at room temperature. Keeping them in the refrigerator at a low temperature can achieve the purpose of locking the activity and allowing skincare to obtain better results.
But it should be noted that after taking out the mask from the refrigerator, it cannot be applied to the face immediately. Because its temperature may be much lower than the temperature of the human body, but the too low temperature will frost the delicate facial skin, leading to facial allergies and the production of red blood streaks, which is very detrimental to the skin.
Therefore, take the mask out of the refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes before using it. During this period, apply a hot towel on the face to open the pores, so that the skin can better absorb the essence of the mask.
After the mask is placed in the refrigerator, it is more conducive to the calming and repairing of the skin after sun exposure, and also has the effect of shrinking pores and tightening the skin.
There are a few details that you can not ignore:
- The mask should be used after it is taken out. It is not suitable to put it back in the refrigerator. It is easy to cause deterioration of the mask when it is cold or hot.
- The mask cannot be placed on the frozen layer, because the temperature is too low will destroy some of the active ingredients in the mask, causing some nutrients to lose their effect.
