Do you ever sit in bed and wish you could be a sleeping beauty? No? Well, I do! Being called a sleeping beauty would be amazing—and the secret to that lie in skincare. Sleeping masks are the secret to being beautiful while slumbering.

Imagine sleeping with dull, dry skin and then waking up to beautiful, bright, radiant, and hydrated skin! You can easily have that experience by using a sleeping mask.

Sleeping masks are not the most popular skincare product, but people who include them in their regimen swear by their effectiveness. If you have time and energy to spare, putting on a sleeping mask will be worth it!

Your skin goes through a lot of stress during the daytime, and when evening comes, your skin will be covered with dirt, dust, sunburns, and other impurities. It is horrifying to think about what is on your skin at the end of the day and the very best thing you can do to your skin is to reward it in the nighttime. There is nothing like the luxurious feeling of taking care of your skin at bedtime.

The TOP 5 Korean Sleeping Masks(in no particular order):

1. Dear Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask

When a product is from Klairs, you can be certain that your skin is in good hands. They offer very luxurious products that are proven to be highly effective in treating skincare issues. And although their packaging leaves a lot to be desired, they make up for it with their formulas.

One of their wonderful products is their Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask. It is a product that can do many things—you can use it as a mask, wash-off pack, and even as a moisturizer! With the infusion of Vitamin E, it can brighten your skin, fight off signs of aging, and improve your skin’s overall condition!

It has a jelly-like consistency and then transforms into a cream and then into an essence that absorbs easily onto the skin and adheres to it well, which helps the formula sink into the skin better and lock in the moisture for as long as 8 hours!

You would be delighted to see that the pudding-like consistency has a sort of memory foam texture. It makes the experience even more luxurious. The result is skin that is brighter, tighter, and healthier!

The three main ingredients that make this sleeping mask effective are Vitamin E, niacinamide, and adenosine.

It is no surprise that Vitamin E makes the formula work—it prevents external stressors from penetrating the skin and promotes the turnover of cells so fresher skin cells can resurface. It can also soften and soothe skin irritation and inflammation caused by sun exposure and pollution.

Niacinamide and adenosine are another great duo for the skin.

Niacinamide helps control sebum production, which is very helpful for oily and acne-prone skin and improves skin texture.

Adenosine is a vitamin that can be found in our very own cells, and it strengthens the skin by encouraging the production of collagen. As we all know, collagen is the number one key to having younger-looking skin, and niacinamide is just the thing you need for that!

This sleeping mask will smoothen out your skin texture, brighten it, and protect it from free radicals.

 This is just the perfect mask for dry and combination skin types.

LANEIGE is a big name in the skincare world. They are famous for their super hydrating products and simple, neat packaging. LANEIGE is well-known for their clean and effective formulas and is considered a luxury brand for this very reason.

They offer high-quality products like their Hypoallergenic Cica Sleeping Mask, making your nighttime routine a luxurious, soothing experience. Because of LANEIGE’s hydrating formulas, this sleeping mask will deeply moisturize dry and sensitive skin types. The main ingredient Cica helps repair damaged skin and bring out fresher and brighter skin cells.

Cica maybe the mask’s main ingredient, but the formula also includes Forest Yeast. Though it may sound like some type of fertilizer, it is actually very beneficial to the skin because of its strong restorative effects.

It strengthens your skin’s outer barrier and makes it strong to fight off free radicals.

This Forest Yeast is a potent fermented ingredient that was discovered in the Gotjawal vines from Jeju Island. After a long fermentation process, it comes out as a great ingredient for skincare.

Some other ingredients found in this sleeping mask are panthenol and cypress leaf extract. Both have soothing and calming effects on the skin and help with irritated skin while also maintaining its moisture. This hypoallergenic sleeping mask will provide your skin the care it deserves—a soothing, safe, and comfortable treatment.

This sleeping mask is specifically designed to repair and soothe damaged and irritated skin. Its creamy texture is very rich, and it practically melts and blends into your skin—spreading its nourishing ingredients deep into your skin.

5. Glow Recipe Watermelon + AHA Glow Sleeping Mask

Glow Recipe is one of the most unique skincare brands in the market. They offer products with formulas that are made from mostly fruit ingredients. The power of fruits provides beautifying effects on your skin and makes it look as fresh as possible! And not only that—they also have the most adorable and pretty packaging for their products!

Their Watermelon + AHA Glow Sleeping Mask is one of their interesting products. As it says in its name, its main ingredient is Watermelon.

The cream feels luxurious with its bouncy texture. It is lightweight and has a gel-like consistency, making it a good option for a wash-off mask. You can put this on for 10 minutes and wash it off!

But it is specifically designed for overnight use, that’s why Glow Recipe made sure that it is pillow-proof. Don’t you just hate when you use products at night, and it rubs off on your pillows? Well, Glow Recipe fixed that problem, so you won’t have to worry about it anymore!

The star ingredient, watermelon extract, is an intense hydrating ingredient that deeply moisturizes your skin and improves its elasticity, making it a perfect anti-aging ingredient, too. It moisturizes and fights off signs of aging like wrinkles and fine lines.

This fruity mask also includes other ingredients, such as the ultra-hydrator hyaluronic acid, and the super-exfoliator and pore refining alpha hydroxy acids or better known as AHA.

While you sleep, these ingredients will sink into your skin and makes sure that it is properly hydrated and free from impurities, including dead skin cells. Since AHA is an exfoliating ingredient, it clarifies and improves your skin’s texture so that you will be able to wake up with softer, smoother, and more radiant skin.

Watermelon extract is not a new ingredient to be used in a skincare product. In fact, it has been used in Korea for a long time because of its hydrating effects and it is traditionally used to soothe and calm irritated and inflamed skin. This extract dives deep into the skin and nourishes it with minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, and various vitamins.

Fruits are just as good for skin care as they are for the body!

 This lovely fruity sleeping mask is perfect for all skin types!

How to use your new sleeping masks!

Most people have a nighttime skincare regimen that is different from their daytime routine. During the nighttime, you use heavier creams and, of course, sleeping masks.

Unlike night creams, sleeping masks stay on your face for the entire night until you wake up. The major difference is that sleeping masks are more potent and contain more powerful concentrated ingredients. These ingredients may irritate your skin when used daily, so it is recommended that you use sleeping masks once or twice a week.

You can use sleeping masks if your skin needs a little pick-me-up. If you want, you can skip your night cream for a night and use a sleeping mask instead so you can wake up more radiant and fresher than ever.

In summary, you must use sleeping masks sparely and take care not to overuse them because their potent ingredients might do more harm to your skin. Though it may seem like it’s easy to use sleeping masks, there are a lot of things you need to take note of when you want to use them!

Always take care of your skin, and don’t overdo it!

Conclusion

Sleeping masks are a luxury that everyone should have. I think that everybody deserves a night or two of putting on a sleeping mask and waking up to radiant, glowing skin. It’s a wonderful experience and when you have the time, I highly recommend trying out a sleeping mask.

Have a wonderful time trying out one of these products, and have a happy skin day!
