How often should I use a facial mask for optimal results?
Disease description:
I am a 20-year-old female. Recently, I have felt that my face is very dry. Therefore, I have been applying face masks every night for the past week. A colleague told me that using face masks every day may actually be harmful to the skin. So, I would like to ask, how often should I apply face masks for optimal results?

It is recommended to apply a facial mask approximately every three days to achieve optimal results, effectively hydrating and nourishing the skin. Facial masks provide deep hydration after application, making the skin more moisturized, plump, and elastic, preventing moisture and collagen loss. They improve dryness and roughness, enhance overall facial aesthetics, and regular use can make the skin smoother, improve facial skin conditions, and prevent pigmentation.
For more severe skin concerns, medical aesthetic treatments can be considered, such as hyaluronic acid injections, mesotherapy, and laser treatments. These procedures can make the skin finer, firmer, and brighter, improving issues like enlarged pores, rough texture, and blackheads.
Daily facial cleansing is also important to prevent collagen loss and avoid pore blockage and bacterial growth, reducing the risk of acne and inflammation, which is highly beneficial for skin health. Additionally, sun protection for the face should be maintained to prevent the formation of pigmentation spots.
