Hello, during the postpartum recovery period (sitting the month), it is acceptable to use facial masks in moderation. Please choose gentle, non-irritating masks. Before application, you may soak the mask’s packaging pouch in warm water to avoid excessive coolness. After use, thoroughly cleanse your face and follow up with mild, moisturizing skincare products to help alleviate skin dryness. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
