You've just applied a mask to your face but you're unsure about the application time? We'll tell you everything you need to know about face masks and their application times!
The perfect accessory for girls' sleepovers or an essential treatment for perfect skin, the face mask has become a beauty essential. But with so many different face masks, it can be difficult to determine how long they need to be left on for them to work. So how long should you leave your mask on? We'll reveal all the secrets to a successful face mask.
Why make a face mask?
Complementing day or night creams, face masks are a bathroom staple. Available in gel, balm, or cream forms, face masks offer numerous benefits and meet all of your skin's needs.
But what's the difference between a day cream and a night cream? What differentiates it from day or night creams may be the higher concentration of active ingredients than in creams, but also the textures that are better suited to the application time of the face mask.
Another difference is that, unlike day or night care products that protect the skin against external aggressions, face masks do not have this function and are used in addition to the skincare routine or as a flash product.
Which face mask should I choose?
To know which mask to use, you will need to determine your skin's needs according to its mood. Indeed, the skin is not always uniform, for example, you may have combination skin and secrete too much sebum in certain areas of your face and have a dull, lackluster complexion. Thus, you can alternate face masks to meet all the needs of your skin or opt for the multimasking trend by applying several masks at the same time adapted to the needs of each area of the face.

How long should you leave your face mask on?
It is important to always respect the application time indicated on the instructions because, contrary to what one might think, leaving your face mask on longer will not make it more effective. Indeed, the active ingredients selected in a mask are programmed to be effective according to the instructions in the instructions. Because these instructions are not due to chance!
