What Is A Sleeping Mask?
A sleeping mask, also known a sleeping pack, is an overnight intensive treatment that delivers deep hydration, nourishment, and targeted benefits to your skin while you sleep. It acts as a booster, enhancing your nighttime skincare routine! If you often wake up with dry, dehydrated skin and feel your current products aren’t lasting through the night, consider adding a sleeping mask. It will not only provide a boost of hydration but also seal in your other nighttime skincare for maximum effectiveness!
In this blog, I will go over 5 sleeping masks that have worked really well for me. While they all function in similar ways, each one has unique ingredients that target different skincare concerns. Whether you're looking to improve dryness, dullness or signs of aging, there's sure to be a perfect mask on this list to target your specific concerns and leave you glowing by morning!
1. TIA'M Snail & Azulene Sleeping Mask
Key Functions: A gel textured mask that soothes, strengthens the skin barrier & boosts elasticity
Key Ingredients: 92% snail mucin, panthenol, allantoin, adenosine & guaiazulene
This sleeping mask is ideal for those with sensitive, irritated skin looking for a little barrier support. It has a cooling, refreshing gel texture and is purple in color thanks to the addition of guiazulene, a naturally bright blue compound derived from chamomile oil. Snail mucin helps skin irritation heal, panthenol provides a healthy dose of moisture, adenosine offers some anti-aging benefits, and lastly, allantoin and guiazulene quickly soothes irritation while calming down redness.
2. Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask
Key Functions: A pudding textured mask that moisturizes, nourishes, rejuvenates & strengthens the skin barrier
Key Ingredients: Vitamin E, niacinamide, centella & adenosine
This next mask from Klairs is perfect for those with dry skin looking for a boost of moisture, or those wanting to enhance the effects of their vitamin C products. It has a thick, jiggly pudding/jello texture that transforms into a more watery texture once it's massaged into the skin. The surface of the product in the jar quickly fills in again, becoming an even layer, much like memory foam! This product is also unique in that it can also be used as a nourishing moisturizer, although for me personally I prefer using it as a sleeping mask.
This product is part of Klairs' Freshly Juiced line, which also includes 2 different vitamin C serums. If you're looking to get more out of your vitamin C serums, this could be a great addition to your routine for a number of reasons. Vitamin E and vitamin C are a match made in heaven, working synergistically with each other to provide an extra boost of antioxidants as well as enhanced absorption.
3. K-Secret Collagen Boosting Secret Sleeping Mask
Key Functions: A gel textured mask containing capsules of vitamin E that moisturizes, brightens, revitalizes & restores glow
Key Ingredients: Collagen, vitamin complex, adenosine, niacinamide & hyaluronic acid
This next sleeping mask from K-Secret is perfect for those looking for some additional anti-aging benefits while they sleep. With a blend of hydrating, brightening and skin plumping ingredients, this mask will help you achieve a more youthful looking appearance. The tiny vitamin E capsules burst upon contact, giving your skin an extra dose of moisture and skin healing benefits. The vitamin complex, comprised of vitamins A, B3, B7, C and E, help immensely with brightening dull, discolored skin!
4. Hanyul Yuja Vitamin Sleeping Mask
Key Functions: A gel textured mask with beads of yuja oil that brightens, provides barrier support, targets uneven skin tone, reduces dead skin & boosts moisture levels
Key Ingredients: 6 whole yuja per jar, niacinamide, adenosine & panthenol
Fun fact, the citrus fruit yuja, also known as yuzu, contains 3x more vitamin C than lemons! Given each jar of Hanyul's Yuja Vitamin Sleeping Mask contains 6 whole yuja, that's a lot of vitamin C packed into this product, making it a perfect option for those that want to focus on brightening, fading hyperpigmentation or addressing an uneven skin tone. This mask also contains little capsules of yuja oil that burst upon application! It has the most incredible, realistic citrus fragrance that I cannot get enough of. Out of all the masks on this list, this one is my favorite and most used!
5. Abib Rice Probiotics Overnight Mask Barrier Jelly
Key Functions: A thick jelly mask that forms a protective layer over the skin to nourish & repair your skin barrier
Key Ingredients: lactobacillus probiotics (rice ferment), rice bran & adenosine
Last but not least, meet Abib's Barrier Jelly! This one provides some serious barrier support, but functions a bit differently from the rest on this list. I've actually seen some negative reviews about this, but I genuinely believe a lot of people might not actually fully understand the purpose of this mask. The texture is a very thick jelly that acts as a protective layer over your skin while you sleep, sealing in the rest of your skincare routine and preventing your skin from drying out. Unlike the other masks, this one won't absorb into your skin, and if it isn't wiped off while you sleep, will still be there when you wake up. It doesn't contain many moisturizing ingredients, but it is infused with a lot of soothing and reparative ones to help your skin barrier heal.
