We all know how difficult it can be to stick to good skin care products overnight. After a long and tiring day, whoever wants to spend time getting around ready for bed instead of just going to bed? However, the consequences of skipping our nightly skincare ritual can be bad. We heard the experts and saw the results of the morning firsthand: dry, irritated skin, clogged pores, maybe even a new blemish or two. Knowing what it is about can make the decision to take a break from the routine less relaxing.

So if we know what's best for us – and regularly apply the energy to complete our nightly skin care routine – why not increase our results and get the best out of our beauty sleep? * Cue overnight facial mask. *

"You can never mask enough" Eminence Organics International trainer Katie Rattray tells Canadian life Magazine. We all have skin conditions and concerns that we want to address, from dehydration to pigmentation to large pores. While basic products like cleansing and moisturizing creams can contain additional ingredients to treat these problems, their primary purpose is to cleanse and moisturize them. But the sole The purpose of a face mask is to target certain diseases, making masking one of the most effective skin care treatments. Katie also points out that "sleep masks don't take longer than night cream," so it's wise to do the swap and wake up to a flawless face.

4 advantages of a face mask overnight

1. Extends the working time of active ingredients

If a mask can be effective in 10-15 minutes, what miracles could it do if used all night? If we're lucky enough to get that Recommended amount of sleep, an overnight face mask takes about seven hours to weave its magic. Working with hours means that active ingredients have a longer window of time to treat and beautify the skin.

2. Blocks moisture and active ingredients

According to the mind-body expert Dr. Claudia Aguirre, "Transepidermal water loss (think of dehydration) peaks at night". She advises: “It is best to use additional protection to prevent your skin from drying out during sleep, especially in low-humidity climates and in autumn / winter. “Sleeping in a face mask overnight not only binds moisture, but also active ingredients. A mask effectively seals the main components of products that were applied in front of the mask, as well as the mask itself.

3. Provides a barrier against contamination

The The physical barrier created by a face mask works in both directions: it not only keeps the good things in, but also the bad things out. A night mask protects the skin from dust, dirt and other toxins all night and can be easily rinsed off the next morning.

4. Improves cell regeneration

As moisture loss accelerates at night, cell renewal also accelerates – a process that makes a decisive contribution to slowing down the visible signs of aging skin. "At night, the skin goes into repair mode, new skin cells grow and erase damaged ones," says Dr. Aguirre. A nightly face mask optimizes this regeneration and exposes new skin-moisturizing ingredients that promote the natural renewal process – talk about starting life on the right foot!

Cream-based masks are better absorbed into the skin

While a night face mask is as easy to apply as a night cream, it should feel as good as one. Gone are the days – or rather the nights – of the hardened removable face masks. Nowadays, the best night masks are creamy and moisturizing so your skin can drink them. "Cream-based masks tend to penetrate the skin better," says Alicia, "where nutrients and other powerful antioxidant-rich ingredients can penetrate deeper for better results."

An important thing to keep in mind is that even if a product is not specifically called a "night mask", it can still be used as an overnight treatment. Below are some of the best night masks from Eminence Organics. Feel free to layer them or mix them in a night mask cocktail – who doesn't like a nightcap for skin care?
