Leave-in face masks

A deep night’s sleep has long been known as the most important skin care “remedy”. But its restorative potential can be multiplied many times over if night masks are connected to the case.

What are overnight leave-in face masks

The idea to apply masks at night came from Asia. And it was accepted with open arms by cosmetics manufacturers, as it fit perfectly into the existing system of beauty habits. Check out our quiz to see what other beauty trends you like.

What’s the point?
  • As you know, at night the regenerative processes in the skin are most active. And a night mask can charge the skin with useful substances twice as efficiently as the usual night cream, since the concentration of active ingredients in it is higher. In addition, its action is revealed gradually, as a result of which it works on your skin all night.

  • Another advantage of the mask is that it kind of seals the skin, allowing it to focus on recovery.

  • It is convenient to use a night mask, because you do not need to monitor the exposure time and wash off the composition from the skin.

Not all indelible masks are positioned as night masks. They don’t have to be used right before bed. The fundamental difference between such masks and ordinary ones is that they do not have to be removed with water some time after application.

How to use leave-in masks

With all the obvious simplicity, the use of indelible masks has its own nuances.

No matter how great properties an overnight mask has, it is especially important that it has a comfortable texture. © Healthy-Food

  • Not everyone likes the feel of cosmetics on their face for a long time. However, that is why in the original Korean version, night masks were gel, that is, translucent, with a lightweight texture.

  • It makes sense to apply any evening mask one and a half to two hours before bedtime. A few minutes after application, it is recommended to remove its excess with a dry soft cloth, leaving a thin film of the product on the skin. This is also important so that the precious product does not remain on the pillowcase.

  • Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions, because the features of using the mask quite often depend on the composition.

    If a little product remains on the skin in the morning, it is gently rubbed into the skin. And then proceed to the usual cleansing procedure. © Healthy-Food

  • Part of the night creams can be used as masks. Everything depends on the quantity. If we literally take a drop of cream, then for an effect comparable to the effect of a mask, we need at least half a teaspoon of the product.

  • It is important to choose a mask taking into account the needs of the skin and its type. If you have combination or oily skin, be sure to check the label “non-comedogenic”. Make sure you know your skin type by taking this test:

  • In extreme situations, overnight moisturizing masks can be used daily. In the usual mode, they are used from 1 to 3 times a week.

Even the most highly effective night masks will not replace regular basic care. Masks are a welcome addition.
