There are busy weeks, and then there are weeks that defy the concept of time. You know, when the hours seem to whizz by like minutes and your to-do list takes after a mythological Hydra, adding two more tasks to itself every time you chop off one? The battle you’re likely not picking is waking up even earlier and doing your full 12-step skin and hair-care regimen. There’s simply not enough time. Which is why overnight face, lip, and hair masks exist.
While moisturizing, massaging, LED-ing, masking, rubbing, and scrubbing your face can be a fun at-home spa day activities, these regimens can sure take a long time. Let overnight masks do the exfoliating, moisturizing, and brightening for you while you sleep. The best part? They only require a single step.
There are hydrating lip, face, and even hair masks that lock in moisture, dark spot-fighting face masks that help even your skin tone with a buffet of helpful vitamins and minerals, as well as smoothing hair masks that help maintain healthy strands and limit breakage—plus so much more. The best part about these overnight products is that, unlike your average face mask that looks muddy and feels thick, these products are meant to be slept in, so they’re lighter and rub in like a lotion or serum, so you won’t ruin your sheets. Hair masks typically come with a cap or wrap to protect your pillow.
Since these products are made to rest on your skin or your strands all night long, they really have the time they need to fortify your skin barrier or penetrate the cuticle of your hair. Talk about some serious beauty sleep.
