Sleeping masks are highly concentrated face moisturizes, packed with nutrients that nourish the skin more intensively than standard day or night creams. And they do even more - offer serum-repair like properties, give glow and have anti-age effect. Amazing stuff!
Sleeping masks are mostly gel consistency, absorbed immediately upon application, and don't require dry down time. Yes, it's about intensive moisturizing treatments that work better while we sleep. No need to take off, just put it on and go to sleep! Likewise, depending on the skin type, they need to be moderately applied. They are by no means a substitute for night, think of it as a burst of soothing hydration and food for the skin. They are a great way for preparing the skin for an important event, meeting, or a face-lift routine on a wake-up call.
