2. Five reasons why facial masks are not absorbed
1.The stratum corneum is too thick: When the accumulation rate of old dead skin cells reaches 73μm (normal should be 28-40μm), the absorption efficiency will be significantly reduced.
2.Damaged skin barrier: Sensitive topics related to the recent season change have increased by 89%. Damaged barriers will prevent active ingredients from penetrating.
3.Product formulation issues: Macromolecule hyaluronic acid (molecular weight > 2 million Daltons) requires penetration-promoting technology to be absorbed.
4.Wrong usage: 38% of users have the misunderstanding of "applying skin care directly after applying the mask" and do not massage to promote absorption.
5.environmental factors: When the humidity is lower than 40%, the evaporation rate of the mask's water is 3 times faster, affecting the retention of active ingredients.

5. Expert advice
The latest recommendations from the Dermatologist Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association point out that when the mask is poorly absorbed, priority should be given to checking the status of the skin barrier. The "1-3-5 principle" can be followed daily: exfoliate once a week, basic moisturizing mask 3 times, and massage for 5 minutes (with the index and middle fingers moving in circles from the nose to the temple).
The recently popular "Mask Absorption Test Method": After applying the mask for 15 minutes, gently press the face with oil-absorbing paper. If a large amount of essence remains on the paper, it indicates that it has not been fully absorbed and the care plan needs to be adjusted.
From the above structured analysis, it can be seen that solving the problem of facial mask absorption requires a combination of individual skin type, product characteristics and environmental factors. It is recommended to collect the tested and effective methods mentioned in this article, choose 2-3 combinations according to your own situation, and continue to observe for 2 weeks to see significant improvement.
