What’s the difference between a night moisturizer and sleeping mask?




The winter is good time as it is synonymous for the Holidays, but it is a really harsh time for skin. Cold weather, wind and dry air inside buildings due to heating system cause skin dehydration and damage the skin's barrier.




The dehydrated skin means you need to drink more water and also hydrate your skin topically with ingredients that help your skin retain moisture.


Could night moisturizer and sleeping mask be the same thing? 
No.

-  - Overnight masks a more powerful way to achieve a healthier complexion overnight than night cream. By leaving them on as you sleep, they create a seal to retain water and help ingredients penetrate the skin more efficiently, but still feel lightweight.
-  - Night masks formula are often more concentrated with hydrating and anti-aging ingredients, similar to what you’d expect from a serum.
- - Night masks usually a gel-like texture that absorbs into your skin and they won’t make a mess on your pillowcase.
       Do you need still use a night cream? 
       Yes. 
     Night cream acts as your daily source of skin hydration, but sleeping masks are designed for overnight hydration and for reinforcing the skincare routine. 
The sleeping mask you can use 2-3 times a week. However, you can also use it on a daily basis depending on your skin type and concerns.

How to use:
Apply generously all over the face avoiding the eye and lip area at the end of your evening beauty ritual, keep it overnight and rinse off in the morning.
The revitalizing effects are extremely addicting - skin is naturally baby-soft and bright in the morning.

  1. Hello Soaps4Us.
    Does an overnight mask leave a face wet and sloppy-feeling the whole night? Can you actually feel it on your skin as you sleep? Or does it absorb into skin? I ask because I don't sleep well when I have to wear something on my body during the night.

    1. Hello,
      this mask doesn't make you feel wet, but you can still feel it like a film. Of course, this varies individually. For my skin I usually apply moisturizer after sleeping mask. Or you can also use this mask as 20-30 min treatment.
