Though it's a simple beauty product, there are a number of ways you could be using it wrong.

Filipina beauty vlogger Anne Klutz breaks down the common mistakes people make in applying face masks in her recent beauty vlog.

How to properly use face masks:

• Step 1: Wash your face and clean it with a toner
• Step 2: Unfold the face mask and place it over your face, make sure it tightly fits the face.
• Step 3: Leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Step 4: Gently pat the remaining essence on your face.
• Step 5: Wash the face later with water.

Anne also learned the common mistakes in using face masks that you must avoid:

• Mistake 1. Not rinsing the face with water after using the mask.
• Mistake 2. Leaving the face mask on your face for long longer than 20 minutes.
• Mistake 3. Leaving the face mask on the face until it gets dry. This will disrupt the skin's absorption of the mask's essence.
• Mistake 4. Sleeping with the face mask on.
• Mistake 5. Re-using a face mask. They should only be used once.

Futhermore, Anne shared that a specific type of face mask should be used ideally two to three times a week for it to take full effect. After four weeks you can change your face mask type to another kind that caters to another skin issue.
