The intense overnight hydration pumps moisture into your skin, so you can ’gram #iwokeuplikethis with feeling.

You can use a leave-on overnight mask every night. In fact, you should. The reason is simple: Everyone’s skin needs moisture. And no one’s skin gets enough of it.

What does an overnight mask do? It gives your skin a big moisture boost, so it looks healthier, plumper and more radiant when you wake up. Now, who doesn’t want that?

Don’t stick to the same one every day. Use what best fits your concern for that day. Besides moisture, the new masks have added bonuses, such as firming or calming effects. So, a firming mask if you have a special event the next day. A brightening one for added glow. A calming one to soothe redness or splotchiness. Some of these masks can replace your night moisturiser, saving you a step in your beauty routine. – KT
