Overnight masks are a big thing these days, and there’s a good reason why. We’re all so busy with work and play, so no one really has time (or want to spend the time) sitting around for 20 or 30 minutes waiting for a mask to work its wonders and then wash it off. Especially not if you can slather something on, and go to bed.
But sometimes your skin needs a little more than a mask. It’s good to get some added benefits in with a treatment or two. Whether it needs intense exfoliating or instant renewal, these five treatments are sure to soothe the skin while you snooze. Besides, who doesn’t want to wake up looking fresh and youthful?
