After removing a face mask, you can apply an eye mask directly, but pay attention to the order, area, and ingredient combination.

 

Application Order and Area Division
Using in Different Areas is More Scientific:

Most face masks are designed for use on the entire face (except around the eyes), while eye masks are specifically for the delicate skin around the eyes. If the face mask contains irritating ingredients such as alcohol or acids, direct contact with the eye area may cause sensitivity. It is recommended to avoid the eye area when applying a face mask and then use an eye mask separately to prevent the ingredients from penetrating into sensitive areas.

 

Staying at Different Times for Safety:

After removing a face mask, if your skin is still moist, you can apply an eye mask while the stratum corneum is still moist (it is recommended to wait 5 minutes), as the skin's absorption is stronger at this time. However, avoid leaving any mask residue around the eyes; you can gently wipe it off with a cotton pad before applying the eye mask.
