When Is the Best Time to Apply a Face Mask?
Disease description:
My skin has been quite dry lately, so I plan to step up my skincare routine and use face masks more frequently. Could you advise me on the best time to apply a face mask?

Dr. Huang Lingjuan
The optimal time to apply a facial mask is generally in the evening, when external factors are minimal and the body is relaxed—allowing for better rest and enhanced absorption of the mask’s nutrients. That said, masks can be applied at any time of day. Ideal times include 6–7 a.m., 11 a.m.–12 p.m., 1–3 p.m., and 9–11 p.m.
