What ingredients should not be used in sensitive skin masks?

The stratum corneum of sensitive skin is relatively thin and easily irritated, so you need to be careful when using many skin care products. Masks for sensitive skin should choose those that are fragrance-free, alcohol-free, colorant-free, and preservative-free.

For sensitive skin, it is best to choose a mask with as little artificial fragrance as possible, as well as artificial preservatives, methylisothiazolinone, colorants, phthalates, etc. Seagull lanolin alcohol compounds and palmitate are skin care ingredients that are prone to cause acne.

1. High concentration of ethanol (especially sensitive dry skin): denatured ethanol, ethanol

2. Sunscreen: Benzophenone-3 (avoid as much as possible during pregnancy for sensitive skin)

3. Preservatives (highly irritating and easy to cause allergies): methylchloroisothiazolinone, methylisothiazolinone, parabens (methylparaben and ethylparaben are safe at standard concentrations), DMDM ​​hydantoin, diazolidinyl urea/imidazolidinyl urea

4. Face wash: soap base (12-acid, lauric acid, 14-acid/myristic acid, 16-acid/palmitic acid, 18-acid/stearic acid...); sodium laureth sulfate (for dry and sensitive skin and weak epidermis, please consider avoiding it as appropriate)

5. Acids: fruit acid, A acid, salicylic acid, (if you really need to use fruit acid to remove acne, you can choose mandelic acid from a low concentration and use it partially)

6. Others: artificial fragrances, dyes (please avoid if you have severe sensitive skin), PEG-40/60 hydrogenated castor oil caprylyl glycol, lanolin alcohol compounds, palmitate (please avoid if you have acne-sensitive skin), caprylyl glycol (may induce tingling, so please avoid if you have sensitive skin with inflammation)

What is the best time to apply a facial mask?

It is best to apply a mask for about 15 minutes, and some masks can be extended to 20 minutes. Masks should not be applied for too long, as they may absorb moisture and nutrients from the skin, causing the skin to become more dehydrated, and dry skin and sensitive skin may also cause allergies and other symptoms.
