The skin on the lips, like the skin of the eyelids, is very thin, tender and sensitive.Therefore, it needs intensive care - especially during the cold season. Due to frost, wind, frequent and sharp temperature changes, the skin of the lips can dry and crack. And to prevent such trouble, there is little ordinary balm. Then the lip masks come to the rescue. Today we will figure out what effect we should expect from using a lip mask, and also share information on how to choose this tool and how to use it.
A Korean lip mask is a remedy that usually contains many antioxidants, minerals, nutrients and vitamins. Often, manufacturers make masks with fruit and berry flavors to make them pleasant to apply to the skin of the lips.
What effect does a lip mask have when used regularly?
- Deeply moisturizes and nourishes the lips, making them softer and smoother.
- Improves microcirculation, making the lips slightly larger visually.
- Increases the protective functions of the skin of the lips, therefore, the possibility of weathering, peeling and inflammation is reduced to a minimum.
- Allows you to keep the skin of the lips young, prevents loss of elasticity and aging.
- It helps to heal wounds and inflammation faster if they have already appeared.
What are the lip masks?
In general, all lip masks can be divided into two groups: masks in patch format (there are fabric, hydrogel, collagen), as well as masks of cream consistency. And if the first group of masks is used more like an ambulance, when you need to quickly drink your lips, then cream masks are more about comprehensive and regular care, which gives long-term results.
How to use lip masks?
Masks in patch format, whether tissue, hydrogel or collagen, should be placed on the skin of the lips for 15-20 minutes. We do not recommend leaving them for a longer period, since after 20 minutes such masks begin, on the contrary, to take fluid from the skin on themselves.
After you remove such a mask, you need to distribute the essence over the skin of the lips, and if an unpleasant feeling of stickiness suddenly appears, then the remnants of the essence can be washed off with water, after which a moisturizing balm can be applied to the lips.
Cream lip masks can be used at night or during the daytime. If you decide to use such a mask at night, then apply it to your lips right before bed (it is advisable to apply a sufficiently dense layer). In the morning, you need to wash off the rest of the mask with water. If you decide to use a mask in the afternoon, then you need to apply it in the morning on the clean and dry skin of the lips with a thin layer.
