π¦ Use a Sleeping Mask If:
✔️ Your Skin Feels Dehydrated or Dull – Sleeping masks provide an intense moisture boost, helping your skin look plump and fresh by morning.
✔️ You Want a Brightening and Refreshing Effect – Many sleeping masks contain ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, or hyaluronic acid to improve your skin’s radiance overnight.
✔️ You Have Tired, Stressed, or Irritated Skin – If your skin feels irritated or inflamed, sleeping masks with soothing ingredients like aloe vera, centella asiatica, or chamomile can help calm redness and irritation.
✔️ You Prefer Lightweight, Gel-Based Hydration – Unlike thick night creams, most sleeping masks have a gel-like texture that absorbs quickly without feeling heavy or greasy.
✔️ You Want an Extra Skin Treatment – Sleeping masks act as an occasional intensive treatment (2-3 times a week) to deeply nourish and repair your skin.
✔️ You Need a Barrier to Lock in Skincare – Applying a sleeping mask as the last step in your nighttime routine seals in serums and moisturizers, preventing moisture loss while you sleep.
π‘ Pro Tip: Apply a thin layer of your sleeping mask 30 minutes before bed to allow it to absorb fully and avoid transfer to your pillow.
