If you leave your face mask on for too long, these are the things that could happen to your skin

Many of us have used the store-bought or natural face mask for reasons more than one. Some are anti-ageing while others are to enhance our skin. The beauty market keeps adding newer and newer products every other day and the people who love experimenting go on trying all of them. But have you ever thought of what happens to your skin if you leave a face mask on for too long?

We're here to give you a little information on just that:

- Tight skin: A lot of people want their sagging skin to tighten up but no one would want it to be uncomfortable. If you have dry skin, leaving a face mask on for too long can be dangerous as it can stretch your skin too much and damage it. You should rather apply it for shorter duration followed by a moisturizing routine.

- Extract natural oil: Our skin on the face also has a layer of oil on the surface. This is the layer that is very important to carry out many healthy functions. Putting a face mask on for longer than needed can extract all these natural oils and good bacteria too. This leaves the pores producing more oil in order to compensate for the lost oil.

- Skin burn: You must have experienced sudden sensation on the surface of your face when you apple a cream or mask? If not then you're very lucky. Some of the chemical-infused elements can leave skin burns due to the masks. Sometimes, over masking can also make your whole skin turn red and you start to feel the sensation all over. You then need to apply ice and consult your dermatologist as soon as you can.
