One of the important elements of the Korean skin care ritual is the use of overnight face masks. What are night masks? How do they work? What are the benefits of using them? Why should you have them in your makeup bag?
Night masks are gel-consistency cosmetics intended for facial skin care. As their name suggests, they are applied just before bed and are not washed off at night. Night masks use products that work great at night.
Many women refuse to apply masks to the skin, explaining this approach by lack of time. Indeed, it can be problematic to spend about an hour on skin care, to apply cosmetics, wait for the time indicated by the manufacturer, and then wash it off.
An overnight face mask is much easier to use. It is enough to apply the mask on washed skin, about 30-60 minutes before bedtime. The gel formula of the overnight face mask ensures that the cosmetic product partially hardens, so it does not leave stains on bed linen. In the morning, all you have to do is wash your face and apply your daily skin care routine.
Why have nightly face masks gained wide recognition in the world of cosmetics? Their advantage lies in the duration of exposure to the skin. The usual mask is washed off after ten minutes. The overnight face mask stays in contact with the skin throughout the night, so the ingredients contained in it can penetrate deeper and act on the skin for longer. In addition, the skin regenerates faster at night because more collagen is produced.
