Can I use a face mask if I have recently undergone cosmetic procedures?

Short answer: It depends on the type of cosmetic procedure.

Detailed answer

If you have recently undergone cosmetic procedures such as laser treatments, chemical peels, or microdermabrasion, it is generally not recommended to use a face mask immediately afterward. These procedures can leave the skin sensitive, irritated, or even compromised, and introducing a face mask may further aggravate the skin or hinder the healing process. It is best to consult with your dermatologist or aesthetician to determine the appropriate timeline for using a face mask post-procedure. However, if you have undergone less invasive procedures such as Botox or fillers, it is typically safe to use a face mask as long as it does not contain any harsh or potentially irritating ingredients. Always read the product labels and follow the instructions provided to ensure optimal results and minimize any potential risks.
