Sleeping Masks: A Lazy Girl's BFF

It's probably been about 2 years since I was first introduced to sleeping masks and ever since then I haven't looked back. A sleeping mask is exactly as it sounds; a mask that you wear all night instead of washing off after 10-20 minutes. This makes at home masking SO much easier! Today, they have become an integral part of my skincare routine because I'm busier than ever, but still trying to keep my skin healthy and balanced. I try to use one at least twice a week after a good exfoliation, or sometimes more if my skin needs it. I apply my skincare routine like normal except instead of using my normal nighttime moisturizer, I apply one of the masks below and sleep with it on!

I usually opt for a hydrating and brightening sleeping mask because then I wake up with baby soft and nourished skin. Here are some of my favorites:

 1. Korres Wild Rose + Vitamin C Advanced Brightening Sleeping Facial ($48 for 1.35 oz): This mask is fantastic if you want to brighten and even out your skin tone. I wear this a lot at night if I have any post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation caused by blemishes. The Vitamin C is brightening and the Rose gives this mask an amazing aroma and also helps hydrate and nourish the skin. I'm obsessed with the smell. If you've never tried anything from this Rose Product line from Korres, PLEASE visit your local Sephora and smell it!

2. Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask ($27 for 3.4 oz): This is probably my most used mask because again it smells amazing but you seriously wake up with a face that's as soft as a baby's bottom when you apply this before sleeping. It is loaded with amazing oils and does such a good job of nourishing your face. I use this anytime I feel dehydrated, dry, or even if I've been drinking. It smells like citrus and peaches. I can't even tell you how many times I've recommended this mask to friends and clients. 

3. Laneige Water Sleeping Mask ($25 for 2.3 oz): This Laneige Water Sleeping Mask was sent to me for free from a really cool company called Influenster***. They send you free stuff to try and review and give your feedback! I was so excited to try this one out because I already love Laneige and funny enough, this product had made it into my cart so many times online, but I never seemed to buy it! It's great for skin that desperately needs water, not oil. I love that it comes with a little spatula too, so it's easy to keep your container of product bacteria-free! I feel like I wake up in the morning with refreshed and hydrated skin whenever I sleep with this one on. 

Do you like sleeping masks? Have you ever tried one? Leave me a comment below sharing your favorite one if you have!

Have a beautiful week,
