π¦ Sleeping Mask: Intense Overnight Treatment
A sleeping mask is a powerful overnight skincare treatment designed to deeply hydrate, repair, and rejuvenate your skin while you sleep. Unlike traditional night creams, sleeping masks create a protective layer over your skin, sealing in moisture and nutrients for maximum absorption.
✨ Benefits of Using a Sleeping Mask:
✔️ Deep Hydration – Helps prevent overnight moisture loss, especially for dry or dehydrated skin.
✔️ Skin Barrier Repair – Strengthens your skin’s natural protective barrier, reducing sensitivity.
✔️ Boosts Skin Radiance – Many masks contain brightening ingredients like niacinamide or vitamin C for a morning glow.
✔️ Soothes & Calms Irritation – Formulas with aloe vera, centella asiatica, or chamomile help reduce redness and inflammation.
✔️ Anti-Aging Properties – Some masks include retinol, peptides, or collagen to reduce fine lines and improve skin elasticity.
✔️ Locks in Skincare Benefits – Acts as a sealant over your serums and creams, enhancing their effectiveness overnight.
π How to Use a Sleeping Mask:
1️⃣ Cleanse Your Face – Remove dirt, oil, and makeup before application.
2️⃣ Apply Toner & Serum – Use hydrating and repairing products to prep your skin.
3️⃣ Apply a Thin, Even Layer – Spread the sleeping mask evenly over your face and neck.
4️⃣ Let It Absorb – Wait 20-30 minutes before bed to prevent transfer to your pillow.
5️⃣ Rinse Off in the Morning – Wash your face with lukewarm water and follow with your morning skincare routine.
π How Often Should You Use It?
✔️ 2-3 times per week for most skin types
✔️ Every night if you have very dry skin (use a lightweight formula)
π‘ Pro Tip: If your skin feels extra dry, apply a night cream first, then layer the sleeping mask on top for deep overnight hydration!
