What are sleeping creams or overnight masks?
Sleeping creams or overnight masks are typically a more nourishing and thicker version of a daily moisturizer. They should be applied as the last step in your nighttime skincare routine. As the name suggests, they work their magic at night while you’re asleep in bed.
What are the active ingredients in them?
There are a large variety of products out there with varying ingredients to benefit your skin. Garnier offers a version of the product which contains lavender oil and hyaluronic and hydroxy acids. These ingredients can replenish your skin and the scent is nature’s ultimate relaxer.
Other ingredients you may find in overnight masks can include antioxidants such as Vitamin C or retinoids. yaAlso popular are essential oils that bring out your skin’s brightness and acids like hyaluronic or glycolic that are moisturizing.
What type of skin responds best to sleeping creams?
Sleeping creams are ideal for people with normal to dry skin as they are intensely hydrating. If your skin is oily or you have combination skin that doesn’t mean you can’t indulge in a sleeping cream, you’ll just have to look around a little more for one that’s formulated for your skin type. Some work really well to give your skin hydration as well as unclog your skin’s pores so that you might wake up to fewer blemishes.
Do I apply a overnight mask alone or after moisturizing?
You can do either, just use them as directed! If your skin is on the oilier side we recommend applying the overnight mask on its own. If you can use some extra nourishment for your skin apply it on top of a light moisturizer, the mask will add hydration and act as a seal on top of the product. You can also layer over a serum or an oil depending on your skin’s needs.
How often should you apply an overnight mask?
This really depends on your skin type. If you have extremely dry skin you can put one on daily, particularly in winter months if you’re around central heating mixed with freezing air outside and your skin has become flaky. If your skin is normal or combination every other day or a few times a week can benefit skin. For oily type skin try to find a sleeping cream that will regulate oil production. It’s best to use once or twice a week as directed.
Should you wear a sleeping mask on a plane?
Absolutely! When you’re flying you will be subjected to very dry air while sitting in an airplane cabin. This removes moisture from your skin extremely fast. If possible you should try to remove your make-up once you board the plane so that your skin can breathe and then hydrate your skin as much as possible. A sleeping mask will give your skin essential moisture while also protecting your skin’s barrier. You will arrive at your destination with hydrated and luminous looking skin.
What results can you expect?
Overnight masks provide a good level of moisture to your skin. When you wake up your skin will look radiant. Your skin will likely look plumper and will feel super soft. If you have blemishes the correct overnight mask can help reduce pimples and the appearance of large pores. Just make sure to pick the right overnight mask for your skin type to wake up gorgeous every day!
