What are sleeping masks?

Many people can't tell the difference between facial cream, facial mask and sleeping mask. If you analyze it carefully, it is actually very easy to distinguish. Facial cream is the last step in basic skin care. Its main function is to lock in moisture and moisturize. It locks in your previous skin care products to prevent them from evaporating.

There are many categories of smearable facial masks, such as cleansing, whitening, hydrating, repairing and so on. Control the duration and frequency of use according to the product instructions. As for whether to clean or not, it depends on the specific product.

A sleeping mask literally means completing skin care work while you sleep. It is more suitable for lazy people and can also be defined as an advanced version of face cream. However, compared to facial cream, the amount of sleeping mask applied is different. The amount should be thicker than facial cream, but not too thick. If the amount is too much, the skin will not absorb it and it will cause excess nutrition.

Sleeping masks are still facial masks after all, so it is enough to use them 2-3 times a week. Sleeping masks have a small disadvantage, which is that if you use too much, it will easily stick to the pillow. In this case, you can treat it as an ordinary smearable mask. However, there is no hard and fast rule for the application time. Originally, it could be applied overnight, but now it can be applied for 20 minutes or more than 2 hours, then washed with clean water and continued to sleep~

Reference price: 650 yuan/100ml

The first impression of L'Occitane is hand cream and toiletries; the skin care series is not so well-known. In addition to repairing and moisturizing after sun exposure, this sleeping mask also has whitening effects. After all, whitening is also a key task in summer. However, some whitening facial masks are relatively dry, but this one can whiten and moisturize at the same time, which is really rare.
