Night masks will save your skin and we'll tell you why.

Circadian rhythms are the reason you'll want a sleeping mask.

We often use moisturizers without understanding whether they're for morning or night, but did you know there's a big difference between them? If you use the same cream during the day and before bed, you're the perfect candidate for a nighttime face mask. You might think it won't work, but it's actually all due to circadian rhythms , which are like our body's internal schedules . During the day, our body is on alert and in defense mode, while at night it rests and renews itself. However, as we age, this process loses effectiveness, so our skin needs a boost to renew itself, which is why there are products for nighttime use.

 

Difference between night and day cosmetics

The cosmetics we use at night are different from those we use during the day. They have different ingredients; for example , nighttime products often contain ingredients more focused on renewing and nourishing , so the skin absorbs them overnight, achieving greater effectiveness.

Why apply a night mask

We can use moisturizers or serums at night, but adding a night mask two or three times a week will help revitalize our skin. "These masks usually have thick textures and are usually not removed; we can leave them on until they are absorbed on their own. This way, they provide an extra renewing and comforting effect to our skin ," says Daniel Jiménez.

Our favorite overnight mask from Skin Generics is the Bakuchiol Firming Stem Cell Mask. Its ingredients help combat the signs of aging while providing radiance and hydration—it's got it all!
