Overnight Masks? Yup, it’s a thing that’s been around for a few now and they have quite a few benefits and I’m a total fan these days. I have to admit, when I first heard of them a few years ago all I thought was, “Doesn’t the mask get all over the pillowcase?” Ummm, not really. I mean, you don’t apply it and then jump right into bed. The ones I’ve tried seem to sink in rather quickly but even if some did get on the pillowcase, it’s just a pillowcase and can be washed, right?

So what are these for?

Overnight masks mainly seem to help with hydration, which is nice in the winter months. Depending on which one you pick up, some can also help with skin cell renewal and anytime you just really want to give skin some intense nourishing.

When I use these, I usually apply it about an hour before bed, letting it sink in a little before I hit the hay.

Here are two I recommend:

FRESH Black Tea Firming Overnight Mask ($35/1oz @ sephora.com, nordstrom.com)

SK-II Overnight Miracle Mask ($105/6 masks @ sephora.com, nordstrom.com)
