Even with a busy schedule, Jennie always makes time for her skincare routine. She regularly shares her bare face, and each time, her flawless, porcelain skin captivates her fans. Jennie’s skincare secret is surprisingly simple: she consistently incorporates lotion mask sessions into her routine. But why is this particular step so beloved by Jennie?
What are the benefits of a lotion mask?
Lotion has a lighter, more fluid texture than cream and contains a higher water content, making it an excellent moisturizer. As a result, lotion easily penetrates and absorbs into the skin, providing intense hydration. This type of mask doesn’t leave a greasy or sticky feeling, but its lightweight nature means it can evaporate quickly.
Lotion masks can transform dry skin, tackling all sorts of problems that arise from skin that’s either too dry or too oily. Additionally, lotions often contain other nutrients that help tighten pores.
How to use a lotion mask
Jennie typically spends 10-15 minutes per session, doing this 2-3 times a week. Simply cleanse your face, then soak 2-3 cotton pads in lotion, and place them on your forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin. After 10-15 minutes, remove the pads and gently wipe your face.
It’s important to cleanse your face before moving on to the next step. Apply a light, gel-based moisturizer—avoid heavy creams that can clog pores. Follow up with a gentle massage to enhance absorption. Next, spray lotion onto a sheet mask and place it on your face. For an extra boost of hydration, spray another layer of lotion onto the surface of the mask. Relax for about 10 minutes, allowing the mask to dry. Finally, rinse your face with water.
This deep moisturizing routine is ideal for very dry and flaky skin but should be used with caution for oily or combination skin types. It is recommended to use this method twice a week, not daily.
This simple routine requires only cotton pads and lotion. It helps lock in moisture, brightens the skin, and promotes an even skin tone over time.
