I Always Wake Up to Better Skin When I Wear This Face Mask

My skin normally has its bouts of dryness, which can be pretty annoying, but now, I am more in tune with it to know what I can do to prevent any dryness and what to do when it gets rough, peel-y, irritated, and a little red. I have my favorite products on rotation for its different needs, but one thing I have been doing the past year that's really been helping is using an overnight face mask at least once a week. And, boy, has it made a difference.

I used to apply nighttime masks only when I needed it—and my go-to has always been Laneige's Water Sleeping Mask. But when I started using it on the regular, I found that it helped protect my skin against any dryness and really rejuvenated it. Talk about a weekly pick-me-up!

Laneige's mask has all my favorite skincare product features. Gel-like texture? Check. Super lightweight and non-greasy? Double check. Hydrating? Check. And effortless? Check. All I have to do is apply a layer to my skin, let it absorb completely, and then I just go to sleep and wake up to smoother and radiant skin.

And that's the thing about overnight masks—they're able to work some magic while you sleep, which is amazing if you don't really have time to do a lengthy skincare routine, or just want a quick fix. And while I deal with major dryness, there are overnight masks for just about every skincare issue—acne, dark spots and scars, fine lines and wrinkles, oily skin… you name it.
