The "invisible breathing battle" of summer skin

Yancheng Ruize Pigment Motherbatch Co., Ltd. 

Since the beginning of Summer Solstice in 2026, the temperature has been gradually rising. The scorching heat of summer has caused our skin to suffer greatly. Oily skin, dull complexion, enlarged pores... Various skin problems have followed one after another. Summer skincare is undoubtedly a tough "exam". 

PART 01 The "Film" Method Traps in Summer Skincare 

To quickly cool and hydrate the skin, facial masks have become the "emergency solution" on many people's dressing tables. However, have you noticed that for the same effect, the feeling when applying the mask on the face can vary greatly? Some feel refreshing and smooth, with the essence liquid flowing freely into the skin; while others feel thick and stuffy, and after applying, they end up with a face full of closed pores. In fact, what determines the usage experience and the upper limit of the mask's effectiveness is not just that bag of essence liquid, but rather that seemingly insignificant "mask cloth". 

During the hot summer season, the metabolism of the skin speeds up and the pores are in an expanded state. This indeed is the golden period for replenishing nutrients. The principle of facial masks is, in simple terms, to forcefully push the nutrient components into the stratum corneum through three steps: "sealing, heating, and penetration" within a short period of time. However, many sisters often fall into the traps of "ineffective skincare" or even "reverse damage" when applying facial masks in summer. 

Many people have experienced such situations: applying a facial mask while using a mobile phone, only to find that the mask dries faster than the skin itself, and even starts to absorb the skin's moisture; or the mask doesn't stay on the face properly, falling off whenever the person moves, and failing to adhere well to areas like the nose bridge and corners of the mouth. These problems are ultimately related to the material of the mask.

In summer, the skin is naturally prone to sweating and oil production. If the mask has poor breathability and is thick and not skin-friendly, it will form a tightly sealed "steam oven" on the skin surface. This not only hinders the absorption of the essence liquid, but the remaining thickening agents and the hot environment are also very likely to breed bacteria, causing redness, allergies and acne. Therefore, to achieve a "hydrated skin" in summer, choosing the right material is the first step. 

PART 02 A Good Skin Feel Comes from Good Fibers 

The materials of facial masks available on the market are diverse, ranging from the early paper pulp and ordinary non-woven fabrics to the currently popular silk and bio-fibers. The evolution history of these materials is actually a technological history that strives for "more comfortable fit, better breathability, and higher efficiency". 

First Generation: Early non-woven fabric facial masks, most of which used ordinary polyester or viscose fibers as the non-woven fabric. The advantages were low cost and easy shaping, but the disadvantages were also obvious - they were too hard, not adherent, and prone to peeling. When applied to the face, the area around the nose was often empty, the chin area was wrinkled, and the essence fluid would flow down along the neck. 

Second Generation: Hydrophilic + Soft Treatment As consumer demands increased, manufacturers began to apply hydrophilic treatment to the surface of non-woven fabrics and selected finer fibers. This generation of products is significantly softer and more absorbent, with a qualitative improvement in the skin feel. Common concepts such as "cotton softness" and "silk softness" belong to this stage. 

The third generation: functional non-woven fabric. Nowadays, truly outstanding facial mask materials have entered the "function customization" era. Antibacterial, aromatic, ultra-soft, hydrophilic, exceptionally white... These are not marketing terms; they are physical and chemical properties achieved at the fiber source through masterbatch formulation. 

For example: Antibacterial masterbatch: This enables the mask base fabric to have the ability to inhibit bacterial growth, especially suitable for skin prone to acne in summer; Aromatherapy masterbatch: Locks natural plant aromas within the fibers, allowing you to enjoy soothing aromatherapy while applying the mask; Hydrating masterbatch: Enhances the fiber's ability to absorb and release water-based essences, ensuring that every drop of essence is not wasted; Ultra-soft/Silky soft masterbatch: Changes the cross-sectional shape of the fibers, making the fabric surface glide smoothly over the skin, with zero friction. 

PART 03 The "Artistic" Technology of Nonwoven Fabric Masterbatch 

When we marvel at a soft and skin-friendly facial mask, few people will delve into the technological power behind this non-woven fabric. Facial masks, sanitary pads, wet wipes and other hygiene products all have their core base material being non-woven fabric. And it is the "masterbatch" added to it that determines the final color whiteness, softness of touch, water absorption speed and whether it has antibacterial properties of the non-woven fabric. 

The non-woven fabric masterbatch is like the "genes" of the non-woven fabric. A very small amount of addition can determine the upper limit of the quality of the final product. For example, if one wants the mask fabric to present a pure and flawless visual effect, extremely high-quality "super white" or "hygienic white" masterbatches are required. They not only need to have high whiteness, but also must ensure absolute safety and no migration when in contact with the skin. 

To achieve the skin-like touch of a baby, the addition of "cotton soft", "super soft" or "silk soft" masterbatches is indispensable. These masterbatches can improve the rigidity of the fibers, making the finished product more fluffy and soft. 

The masterbatch with "antibacterial" function has become a must-have product in the market of Eisai. Moreover, in response to the high absorption requirements of facial masks and wet wipes, the technological breakthrough of "hydrophilic masterbatch" enables liquids to penetrate instantly, no longer remaining on the surface. 

From the ultra-white and hygienic white masterbatch that strives for the highest whiteness, to the soft, super soft and silky masterbatches that give products an ultimate touch, and then to the hydrophilic, antibacterial and fragrant masterbatches that meet the functional demands of the market, Rizhe color masterbatches have always adhered to technological innovation and quality first. This summer, let's start with a good facial mask and jointly witness the ingenious power of Rizhe color masterbatches in the non-woven fabric field.
