Mask your hangover: five overnight skin solutions
Slap on one of these masks before you pass out and wake up looking better than you feel
We’ve all been there – you have an early meeting the next day, but your “one drink after dinner” ends up being five... or maybe six? To look presentable the morning after, your skin needs immediate TLC.
Removing your makeup is a given, but lathering on the moisturiser doesn’t actually help.
Overnight masks are like night creams on steroids, promising a powerful boost of hydration and skin repair overnight. Here are five products to keep you looking fresh.
AmorePacific Time Response Skin Renewal Sleeping Masque
This contains green tea saponin extracted from the roots of 30-year-old green tea, which purifies skin and provides effective ageing-cycle care while you sleep.
You won’t wake up 10 years younger, but you’ll definitely see a softer and more radiant complexion when you look in the mirror.
La Prairie Skin Caviar Luxe Sleep Mask
Initially, I was sceptical about this product’s claims to firm and lift, moisturise, smooth, soften and improve the overall appearance of the skin.
After using it, however, there was a definite glow to my skin the next morning. The magic comes from the Carica papaya, used as a natural exfoliation enzyme technology.
I wouldn’t be satisfied by the mask’s moisturising and smoothing effects alone, but the gentle yet effective exfoliation benefits make it worth the price.
