Always follow the product instructions. Typically, wash-off masks are left on for 10-15 minutes, while sheet masks are used for 15-20 minutes. Overnight masks should be applied as the last step in your routine.
Genetics influence skin type, but environmental factors (like sun exposure) are controllable. Good habits can outweigh genetic predispositions.
Gua sha tools can enhance lymphatic drainage, reduce fluid retention, and promote blood flow. Used with a facial oil, they may help define facial contours and temporarily minimize the appearance of fine lines, but results are cumulative and require regular use.
Consistent sun protection. UV exposure darkens post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), making scars last longer. A high-quality, non-comedogenic sunscreen is essential every day.
