If you’ve had any doubts, I’m here to quash them now: beauty sleep is real. The skin does recharge and rejuvenate while you’re in slumber. And helping it get the most out of this resting period is a must. That’s where sleeping masks come in!
What are sleeping masks?
Sleeping masks or overnight masks are skincare products that are formulated to let ingredients penetrate deeply into the skin while you sleep. It also seals in the goodness of the products you applied before it.
These often come in textures that are lighter than regular creams — think gels and gel creams. They also have a similar formulation as sheet masks or serums, meaning they contain active ingredients that target different skin needs.
Is it healthy to sleep with a sleeping mask?
Going to sleep with a sleeping mask on can be great for your skin, especially since that’s when they’re meant to be used! Just make sure you don’t overdo it. Many of these products will tell you to only use them twice a week at most. Going over that may lead to irritation.
