Wake up to refreshed and rejuvenated skin
There's a reason why people swear by their beauty sleep. At night, the skin gets a chance to recover from stress, external aggressors and sun exposure. As you sleep, it begins to repair itself by regenerating skin cells and replenishing collagen, with the help of the active products in your nighttime skincare routine, such as vitamin C or retinol.
Overnight masks are designed to give your skin a hand during this late shift by sealing in these potent ingredients and moisture and providing the optimal conditions for skin repair. This is particularly important for those who sleep in air-conditioned room. They can also act as a barrier to keep dust, dirt and other irritants away.
